I'm a believer, y'all. Agent Carter is an amazing character, and Hayley Atwell just brought her to life and owned the role in the Captain America movie. And I tell you, she's going to do the same when the Agent Carter TV show airs next month. I came across the Why I'm Already Worried For Marvel's Agent Carter post over at TV Over Mind (TVOM), and I'm going to protest the doubts ... View Post
Happy Thanksgiving! Here’s What I’m Reading…
Happy Turkey Day, folks! The husband and I will be visiting my grandmother and stealing accepting a couple of my sister's famous sweet potato pies, and then we'll house-hop over to the in-laws and let the children play.

This is one of Amazon's best books for June--and it looks fantastic! The Spy Who Loved, by Clare Mulley, is the biographical account of the WWII female agent, Christine Granville. Book Description In June 1952, a woman was murdered by an obsessive colleague in a hotel in South Kensington. Her name was Christine Granville. That she died young is perhaps unsurprising, but that she had survived ... View Post
