Unique Gifts for a Child


When looking for a gift for the special children in your life, you want to find something they have yet to receive but will love to play with. One way to ensure this is to get a present that is unique to them. Here are some suggestions.


Personalized Books

Adding the name of the birthday boy or girl to a personalized birthday book for child creates a special gift just for them. You can research companies that will do this for you. Many have templates for you to choose from that reflect the child you are buying it for. This book is something that can be shared with children's friends and family that is uniquely theirs.

Sunday Post - Emma, The Satan Sleuth, and The Silent Room

Sunday Post - Emma, The Satan Sleuth, and The Silent Room
Sunday Post is a weekly meme hosted by Kimberly @ Caffeinated Book Reviewer!

Good Morning, Everyone!


When you can't fall asleep, there's nothing better to do than watching stuntmen wearing monster suits. To be more precise, I finished watching The Ultraman Orb: The Origin Saga series and followed by the 30-minute Ultra Fight Orb. Then, oddly, I watched the newest adaptation of Jane Austen's Emma. Weird pairing?

Rules

Grab a book, any book.
Turn to page 56 or 56% in your eReader.
Find any sentence, (or few, just don't spoil it).
Post it.
 Add your (URL) post below in the Linky at: www.fredasvoice.com
Add the post URL, not your blog URL.



Then the screwy old man gets killed in a bar fight and the slut old lady runs off with a tie salesman from Altoona, and after that, all you get is one crummy orphanage after another.

About the Book


Most days, Anwen regrets working at a funeral home despite the good pay. With the residents no longer inclined to stay in their coffins where they belong, she’s got her hands full making sure everyone follows the rules:

In the funeral home, there is no screaming, no murdering, no mutilation, no possessions, no kidnappings, no resurrections, and no cursing of any type. Be quiet and stay polite.

The day Old Man McGregor decides to take a walk and disturbs her peace, Anwen learns there’s a lot more to the basement in the funeral home than a vampire and a handsome gentleman on ice.

Review - The Bedeviled by Thomas Cullinan

books , classic
Review - The Bedeviled by Thomas Cullinan



My second favorite Clint Eastwood film is the 1971 Gothic tale The Beguiled, based on the novel of the same name by Thomas Cullinan. Director Sofia Coppola remade the film in 2017, and, though it wasn’t nearly as good as the original film, I still liked it. I had never got my hands on a copy of the 1966 novel until Penguin Books published a new edition to tie-in with the remake. Unfortunately, I have never gotten around to reading the book, but it’s on my to-be-read list.

Blu-ray Review - When a Stranger Calls (1979)

Blu-ray Review - When a Stranger Calls (1979)


It’s in the wee hours past midnight, and here I am writing a review for When a Stranger Calls (R; 97 minutes), the 1979 cult-classic horror flick about a young babysitter, Jill (played by Carol Kane), being tormented by a series of disgusting phone calls from a “stranger” who's calling from upstairs. If you haven’t already seen the film, then you’ve probably at least heard about the terrifying opening minutes. This isn’t my first viewing, as I’ve seen the movie multiple times over the years. Mill Creek Entertainment had released the movie on Blu-ray (Amazon, Best Buy, Walmart) earlier this year with a retro VHS-style slipcover. I've gotten a little behind on reviews for this blog, so I thought it was time I started to go through the stack of titles Mill Creek Entertainment has sent me over the last three months, starting with When a Stranger Calls.
