The Little Prince - How Did I Miss Out On This Famous Book?
It’s all Bob Fosse’s fault. A few years back I tore through Fosse, the giant tome-of-a-biography about the prolific dancer and choreographer. Within its pages I learned he’d appeared in a film I’d never heard of, 1974’s The Little Prince. The author went on to explain Fosse had a featured role as The Snake, getting to showcase his signature moves himself.

In the quiet town of Fayetteville, West Virginia, Christmas Eve of 1945 held a promise of joy and celebration for the Sodder family. As the clock struck 10 p.m., the Sodder household buzzed with excitement and laughter.

Have You Read This Yet?: The Wall of Winnipeg and Me by Marissa. . .
The last book I read in 2023, was probably my favorite book of the year. I just love reading a book where people are all happily, easily, sappily falling in love and letting their happiness grow beyond whatever expectations they had for themselves. And! And, there was no third act breakup/relationship battering event?! You earned every penny I spent Marissa!!

I really like MJ Mumford's books. This is the second one of hers that I've read and again, I thoroughly enjoyed it. They are easy to read and I can whip through them without any jarring or questioning - they flow, the characters are believable and I feel satisfied with where she takes me plot-wise.

Rachel Reviews: Timeblink by MJ Mumford
I think that sometimes it is harder to write a review for a book that is good than it is for one that you didn’t like because if all of the elements are well-written for the most part, there’s not a lot to say. And Timeblink falls into this category: it was a really enjoyable read, tense and suspenseful with a plot that kept you guessing and a story that absorbed your attention.
