Rachel Stevens – Funky Dory (2004)





Singles Funky Dory and Sweet Dreams My LA Ex are easily the best things on here. Yak Bondy’s name attached to Blue Afternoon raised some hopes and actually is a very pleasant lite-bossa rhythm groove (Yak’s Easy Listening influences again) with a lilting melody that gets under your skin.. The combined talents of Cathy Dennis and Robbie Williams’ buddy Guy Chambers offer the song Little Secret but it’s dull as hell. Not a great album  but worth the 50 pence but her second album is the real deal to keep.

Book 9 - Jennifer Crusie "Totally Charmed"

Jennifer Crusie "Totally Charmed : Demons, Whitelighters And the Power of Three (Smart Pop)





This book compiles a gaggle of essays on the facts, fans, flaws and fallacies of "Charmed." The chapters are written by a variety of fantasy, science fiction and romance novelists, modern witches, essayists, columnists, film critics, scientists and more.

"Charmed" has always been a show that more than what it seemed. It was never really about 3 sisters with magical powers, but 3 sisters and their dynamic. That's one of the things that I loved about this book - it takes the ideas presented in the series over the course of the past 7 years (not including the current 8th season) and examines them. My favorite is the article discussing Piper's powers that both freeze and speed up time adhering to the idea that , in my opinion, most of magic is just undiscovered science. To learn that there is actually a scientific theory behind her power was absolutely fascinating.


So if you're looking for something a little different to read, pick this one up. You won't regret it.
