Madam Reads- The Group by Mary McCarthy
Written in the 50s, published in the 60s, and set in the 30’s, The Group is one of those books that should become a right of reading passage for every woman, and men if they so please. Way ahead of its time, it remains even more pertinent in today’s world where women are still fighting for…

GoT S4 Ep9- The Watchers On The Wall
I didn’t expect last night’s episode to be as thrilling as it was, I’ve never really found the Men of the Nights Watch storyline interesting, a bunch of men guarding a wall in rather unglamorous settings. Scratchy moody men…no real drama besides the politics of student and master. But last night proved there was more…

The Intouchables
A beautiful story of friendship is how best I can describe this movie. Adapted from a true story, Philipe, (François Cluzet), a rich quadriplegic and Driss, (Omar Sy) an ex-con migrant, find themselves tossed together when Driss is hired to care for Philippe. He would really rather not with the job but there are very few options…

Scandal S.3 Ep- 17: Flesh And Blood
So all of Olivia’s bravado’s last week came back to bite her behind this week and it brought all the boys to her yard pointing fingers at her screw up, literally, that has put them to this situation. Jake, Cyrus and Fitz. Men. Just bloody typical. Forget that half the time she is stuck fixing their messes. Flesh and…

Scandal S-3 Ep.16- The Fluffer
I’m trying, really trying not to lose my mind, with each episode, at Olivia and her simpering lips and weakness when it comes to Fitz, a man who has shown time and again what kind of person he really is- untrustworthy at best. It’ll take more than a Hail Mary at this rate. To think we…
