In the final episode of Jennifer Aniston season, I am looking at a film that is definitely not all sweetness and light. Witness the breakdown of a relationship as Brooke and Gary do everything they can to make the break-up as painful as possible in 2006’s The Break-up. Watch the alternate ending here.
Today is an extra special Bookshop episode as not only do I discuss the first in the Percy Jackson the Olympians series, but I managed to persuade Kelsey and Kailin from the fantastic book podcast Touch Your Shelf to put a pause on their hiatus to talk about it with me. In the episode we...
It’s the penultimate episode of Jennifer Aniston Season and I am taking a look at one of her more recent romantic comedies, the first of her two roles with Adam Sandler, 2011’s Just Go With It. This film is based loosely on the 1969 film Cactus Flower and could be considered something of a farce,...
It had to be on the list somewhere, and what better time than now to talk about one of Aniston’s most successful romcoms (at least when it comes to the box office). So here I am, talking about Along Came Polly, her 2004 romcom with Ben Stiller. It feels somewhat appropriate after one of the...
Set in a future not too far from ours, this dystopian New Adult fantasy from Laura Thalassa. This is the first in a series of four books, with the fourth due to be released on 9th November. I wasn’t sure what to expect of this as I haven’t read any other books by this author,...
It’s 1997 and Sarah Huttinger is returning home to Pasadena for her younger sister’s wedding. While there she discovers the scandal that she believes could uncover the reason why she’s never felt like a true part of her family. Is she clutching at straws or is she on to something? Well, Rumour Has It that...
There is another book with this same title, but I am not looking at a psychology text in this episode. In fact, I am going to be looking at the sequel to a book I reviewed about 6 weeks ago. All the Feels, by Olivia Dade, is the sequel to Spoiler Alert, which I really...
If you’re a fan of The Wedding Singer, or maybe 50 First Dates, then chances are that you’ve also seen the film I am taking a look at for this episode, 2014’s Blended. This is the third film that Drew Barrymore and Adam Sandler worked on together. So, did I like it better than Sandler’s...
In my last Bookshop episode, I took a trip to the Cotswolds and introduced you to Agatha Raisin. So I figured that now would be a great opportunity to introduce you to Agatha’s inspiration in the form of the character I believe to be Agatha Christie’s greatest creation (though everyone has their favourite), Miss Jane...
This week I am taking a look at the war of the sexes, and no, I am not referring to the tennis match between Billie Jean King and Bobby Riggs. Katherine Heigl and Gerard Butler are at odds as he tells her that her idea of romance doesn’t exist and she tries to prove to...
