From Book to the Movies: Beastly

I read the book "Beastly" by Alex Flinn, last summer -- before I started writing reviews on my blog -- and at that time I gave it 3 out of 5 stars. Today I just found out that there is a new movie, based on the novel, coming in March 2011!! It looks good and I can't wait to check it out for myself!

Guest Post :: The 12 Most Beautiful Pieces Medieval Art

The 12 Most Beautiful Pieces Medieval Art

This guest post was contributed by contemporary art supplier You Are Art

Bayeux Tapestry
A colourful and vivid telling of the Norman conquest of England on a 230 foot long embroidered cloth. There are many unique figures and Latin phrases that adorn it. The most vivid scene depicts the Battle of Hastings.


Rucellai Madonna by Duccio
An excellent example of chiaroscuro, this piece is three-dimensional, making the throne upon which Mary sits with infant Jesus seem solid. Jesus appears to have some weight. Mary appears to be a full bodied figure, and not flat like other period works depict the human form.

Made the Grade: Traditional Greek Husbands Series, Book 2

Format: Kindle Edition | File Size: 251 KB | Release Date: August 2010 | Publisher: Harlequin Presents

"The Greek's Pregnant Lover" [Traditional Greek Husbands Series, Book 2] by Lucy Monroe

My Book Summary : Piper and Zepher (Zee) have been friends for two years now, ever since her first project with him after she moved from New York to Seattle because of her ex-husband's slanderous remarks, and for the past six months they've been lovers as well. Both have rough pasts that they are both still slowly getting over, Piper with her family moving around so much when she was younger and then dealing with her ex-husband's lies and infidelity, and Zee with his father's cruelty to his mother and his mother leaving him at an orphanage making him never being able to trust love and making feel like he could never love anyone. After a few weeks of being apart Piper and Zee meet up in Greece to talk/work on a new project that Zee's company is starting, and they both are excited to see each other again. However, to the surprise of Piper, once they meet up Zee informs her that they are going to take a few days’ vacation and tour Greece before they start in on the project. During those few days Piper comes to the realization that even though they both agreed that they would just be lovers, she has found that she has slowly fallen in love with Zee and now has no idea how to tell him, especially since she knows how opposed to love he is.

Then the day before they start to work on the project Piper notices that her birth control patch is no where on her body, and thinks she might be pregnant .... what will they decide to do?

My Book Review : 3 out of 5 stars, it was a good book but not as good as the previous book I've read of hers. Plus, it was a little unbelievable how accepting the main characters were to their circumstances and how easily they handled them. *shrug*

My Previous Review(s) for this Author : The Billionaire's Pregnant Mistress

Author Book Trailer :

Book Teaser(s) :
Long before their discussion of love at dinner the other night, he had known she was still waiting for her fairy-tale ending complete with love ever after and Prince Charming.
He was a former street rat, no prince, and love was not, and never would be, on his agenda.
"You're talking about love again, aren't you?"
"Yes. Can you honestly say you would have considered a marriage proposal without it?"
She bit her lip and looked away, shaking her head once in negation.
"As I thought."
"So, where does that leave us?"
"I do not know." ~ within Chapter 6
