So, yes, the reason I had heard of the YA novel Beastly is because I began seeing previews for the movie, (and the only reason I paid any attention to the movie was the fact that the blind tutor is played by my favorite Neil Patrick Harris). But Brilliance audio released an audiobook that I…

BooksStories on Screen: DVD Giveaway
I walked out to retrieve my mail and found one of those fun, unsolicited, unexpected packages. In this case, a series of DVDs from HIT Entertainment.

The Blind Side: Books on Screen
The Blind Side: Evolution of a Game is a book by Michael Lewis. Yes, it does feature Michael Oher, the guy who everyone came to know and love as we watched him overcome obstacles after some care from the Tuohy family, but only as a concrete example of a left tackle, which the position that…
