Legends of Western Cinema Week || GIVEAWAY

-
Giveaways always add a little extra oomph to a blog party, so I'm pleased to announce that Heidi, Hamlette, and I are ALL hosting individual ones this year!!

To enter Heidi's, click here; and for Hamlette's, here.

To ONE giveaway winner, I will send three works of Western literature: True Grit (by Charles Portis), Riders of the Purple Sage (by Zane Grey), and To Tame a Land (by Louis L'Amour). 




All three are used and in good condition, though the L'Amour book does have some creases in the cover. 

Giveaway open to U.S. residents only. 

I will select a winner on either the 27th or the 28th.  To enter, simply comment on this post expressing your interest and include your email address so that I can contact you if you win.  (If you do not feel comfortable leaving your email address on this public page, you can publish your comment and then immediately delete it.  I will still receive the comment, but no one else will be able to see it.)

Good luck to one and all! ;)

    It is my experience that all copies of L'Amour feature comfortable creases.

      Caftan Woman, yes! The best ones have been read already. I've been known to replace a shiny newer copy with a somewhat worn one from the thrift store because I like them better for both L'Amour and Grey.

      Haha! I own TTAL and I don't care for the other two so I'm not too disappointed about this giveaway being US only.

      Hamlette and Eva, oh, dear! I'm sorry I've inadvertently excluded both of you, but I'm glad we're all still friends anyway. ;D ;D

      I take this as a sign that you and I have very similar taste in western books, that's all.

      Awesome! The True Grit copy is especially fun; I don't even love the book all that much but I briefly considered hanging on to it myself. xD

Comments make my day. Seriously. I'd be so happy if you commented. :)

I've gotten really bad about replying in a timely manner, but it's always my intention to do so eventually. (Even though it doesn't always happen. ;))

Lark Rise to Candleford, Seasons 1-4 {review}

Well, darlin's, here 't'is!  A review of the TV series Lark Rise to Candleford .   SO!  I finished the final season the other night, and am here to discuss my thoughts;)  (Spoilers will be sprinkled indiscriminately!  Read at your own risk;D) LRtC centers around young Laura Timmins, a girl from the wee hamlet of Lark Rise, who moves to the  more affluent town of Candleford to work in her aunt's (or was she just a cousin?) post office.  Miss Dorcas Lane is probably the wealthiest person in Candleford and holds a lot of sway with the townspeople.  With Laura's advent into Candleford, the two communities begin to be intertwined. The show's basic plots aren't my absolute favorites, but I love how relaxed the show is, and how marvelous the characters are.  (Because they just ARE.)  It's a cozy series, but at the same time there are moments of rather intense drama.   I'm not feeling extremely eloquent for reviewing this series, heh

My Dream Cast for a Live-Action Remake of 'The Incredibles'

Alas, no, I am aware of no immediate plans for Disney to produce a live-action version of The Incredibles .  But if such plans should ever materialize . . . have I got a cast ready for them or what. 😉 ⸻ Elastigirl / Helen Parr Emma Stone Emma would rock Helen's grit & sass like no other actress available today & I will not be accepting criticism of that statement at this time.  I would absolutely love to see her in this role.  She would crush it.  Mr. Incredible / Bob Parr Eric Allan Kramer I know he's a leetle too old now, especially as a partner for Stone, but he's the only person I've ever been able to envision as Bob.  (Except Alan Hale, Jr., but he's about six feet too old.)  So it is what it is, peeps.  Violet Parr Mackenzie Foy   I went back and forth on the casting for Violet.  I would also love to see what Millie Bobby Brown could do with the role, so it was difficult to decide.  In the end, I think Mackenzie Foy would still be my first choice, but

Romeo and Juliet (2013) {review}

[Note:  Keep in mind that this review is written from the perspective of someone who has never actually read Romeo and Juliet , m'kay?:)  Also, there'll be spoilers, because, I mean…all things considered, you probably know how it all ends.] I first became seriously interested in watching this movie a) because of the utter gorgeousness of all the stills I saw on the Internet, and b) because it has Hailee Steinfeld.  I'd only seen her in True Grit (2011), but, I thought, wouldn't it be cool to see her in a completely different role? So, yesterday, I watched it.  And…I'm not quite sure what I think of it. First things first.  This movie was beautiful .  It was one of those films where you think, "I want just about this entire movie in screencaps."  The cinematography was excellent.  The lighting, the camera angles, the costumes and sets …aaaaaaahhhhh. See what I mean?? Hailee Steinfeld was absolutely precious as Juliet Capulet.  I th
