I’ve mentioned Wrappz.com before and my Kindle is currently adorned with a lovely Jessie Hearts NYC skin from there, but new book = new skin, so soon I will be ordering an Emma Hearts LA version. I read about Readlists via Swissmiss and it sounds like a great idea. Collect a bunch of web pages … Continue reading »
I haven’t seen Avengers Assemble yet, but when I saw the trailer, I thought, ‘Hmm. Just the one female character…’ Then I saw this. And then I saw someone on Twitter saying it doesn’t pass the Bechdel Test, which I can’t say I’m that surprised about, apart from the fact that it’s a Joss Whedon … Continue reading »

The first thing was that I got called in to see Harry’s headmistress. I don’t mind telling … Continue reading »
I discovered Miss Representation via a link to this video on Blue Milk I haven’t had time to have a good look around yet, but it looks incredible and I love the pledge, which was emailed to me when I signed up: 1. Tell 5 people about the film and share one thing you learned from … Continue reading »
