Chitty Chitty Bang Bang Thoughts

It’s been decades since I Iast watched this film so, in a nostalgic mood, I watched it again recently. So many problems…

I’ve always had mixed feelings about Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, the 1968 fantasy-musical film, improbably made by the folks who made James Bond films. Perhaps not that improbably, since Ian Fleming created the both iconic spy and the titular car of the children’s adventure story, C

Mixed feelings on this one. Much to recommend it as a romance novel - sparkling dialogue, fabulous slow burn, great use of tropes and settings, appeals to nostalgia, Canadian, and strong character exploration and growth. But that character exploratio ...more

A more or less cozy mystery (less as the investigator is a retired cop). Several subplots come together in a leisurely fashion as various details, mostly salacious, are revealed about the wealthy families on Martha's Vineyard. I figured out things re ...more

A curious pairing (presumably the choice of the publisher). The first leans to cutesy, while the second is darker (and first person POV). These are both from the late 1980s, which means the tone sometimes drifts to 'you know you want this,' and there ...more

Budge Wilson
“The weather was dazzling- a sunny Nova Scotia May day. We walked through the huge iron gates into the Public Gardens and ate our sandwiches and apples beside the duck pond. I kicked off my rubber boots and wiggled my toes in the sun as I watched the swans and yellow ducklings. The Gardens were immense, full of massive and intricate flowerbeds, winding paths, and strange exotic trees. There were statues, a splashing fountain, an elaborate round bandstand, and a little river with a curved bridge over it. Lovers strolled arm and arm, and children shrieked with laughter as they chased the pigeons.”
Budge Wilson, The Leaving and Other Stories

Donna Jones Alward
“I was simply transfixed by the sheer size of the ship, all white and black and gold, regal and yet ostentatious, settled firmly at the dock with an attitude of blatant superiority.”
Donna Jones Alward, Ship of Dreams

Helen C. Escott
“The dutiful faithful of St. Peter’s Church would be rolling in their graves if they knew a hundred years after they broke their backs hauling large stones to build their beautiful church it was turned into a sleazy Gentleman Jim’s Strip Club.”
Helen C. Escott, Operation Betrayed

Donalee Moulton
“It’s like a scene out of a Hallmark holiday movie and a Quentin Tarantino crime flick”
