Yes, it’s another ebook giveaway. The Budapest Breakfast Club is now available FREE to download to your Kindle for the next two days (1-2 March) . But this is not just any old e-book. The novel has been given a bit of a makeover. It’s now the INTERACTIVE SOUNDTRACK edition. It’s something I’ve been thinking of doing for a year now.

You make my dreams (come true)?
In the romcom everyone loves to hate, Notting Hill, floppy-haired beta-male Hugh Grant bemoans his mid-point split with out-of-his-league movie star Julia Roberts with the words ‘It’s as if I’ve taken love heroin, and now I can’t ever have it again.’ We then see a montage of him depressed and lonely without her, mocked by memories of her. If they turned that montage into a move all of its own, its name would be (500) Days of Summer. They would …
Love me one time, baby
Anyone who’s ploughed through this site will know that I’ve got a bit of a thing for time travel stories, as well as a penchant for romcoms and tragic love stories like Somewhere in Time. So it’s no surprise that I was pretty eager to see the long-delayed movie adaptation of Audrey Niffeneggar’s smash hit faux-lit novel The Time Traveler’s Wife. And, despite the sickly trailer, it doesn’t disappoint. Bruce Joel Rubin has done a great job distilling the novel’s …
The turn of the screwball
There was a time when the word ‘screwball’ conjured up a plastic cone of cheap ice cream with a ball of chewing gum at the bottom. Mine were served to me by Anita, the young woman who once got bollocked by our headmaster for exploiting us kids by parking her ice cream van at the school gates every lunch time. He didn’t know we wanted to be exploited by Anita… and that it was more about her hotpants and pigtails …
Once more with feeling…
It was the sleeper hit of 2007. The little movie that could. The ultra-low budget verite romance about a busker and an immigrant falling in love and making sweet music together. It was shot on the streets of Dublin for $120k and made $9.7 million worldwide, got into every film critic’s Top Ten list, wowed them at Sundance, and pocketed an Oscar for Best Song. Everything about this movie screams massive success. So why do so many people come away …
