See What the Cast of 'What a Girl Wants' Looks like 13 Years Later!
What A Girl Wants premiered when I was a toddler. It was one of those "Cinderella" stories I was always keen to watch. I never forgot about it - only its title. Apparently googling "Amanda Bynes eating cereal movie" won't show you what you're looking for.

The Book Thief
This is the best book EVER!!! I think it's going to be one of my top ten favorite lifetime reads. I'm not a big historical fiction fan. Who would have ever thought I'd fall in love with a book written about Hitler Germany? This is an amazing, powerful book. It's told in a third person, omniscient narration, by DEATH! Yes, Death is the one who tells this heartbreaking tale of one Lisiel Merminger of Himmel Street. Having Death narrate the book gives readers the perfect perspective. Death actually was traumatized by humans. He did his job, but it wasn't an easy one, especially when wars were killing off humans by the thousands. Death also used actual colors to describe his emotions and feelings, a rich addition to the story. It added another layer of understanding.

Why 'Will and Grace' Is Essential Now!
As I write this essay, I am listening to the audiobook version of Fire and Fury by Michael Wolff, and wishing that I wasn't. The book by all accounts seems to be well researched and Wolff's writing style is informative, as well as entertaining. The issue is the subject of the book, Donald J. Trump. His ascension to the highest office in the land and the chaos that has ensued since is replayed with a bird's eye view of the Oval Office. It's all well and fine but there needs to be some levity. Enter Will and Grace.

10 of Jake Gyllenhaal's Greatest Film Performances
Jake Gyllenhaal is one of my favorite actors. Not only is he really talented, but he's also intelligent, charming and he uses his fame to support various causes to help people and the planet. He's environmentally conscious, recycles regularly, and spends $400 a year to have trees planted in a forest in Mozambique! Most notably he is the Honorary Chair of the New Eyes For The Needy Advisory Board - a charity which provides glasses for those who can't afford them. He has been donating to the cause since he was young.
