About Heather…

I have been blogging since May of 2009.  I just graduated from college this past year and will be turning 22 on Sept 16th.  I majored in Criminal Justice – but somehow I have a job with the Department of Veterans Affairs now.  I love reading historical fiction primarily, as well as other genres – both fiction and non-fiction.  My favorite period to read about is the Tudors as well as Egypt – I have always loved Egypt.  I love period dramas mostly for their amazing costumes.  Someday I hope to be able to travel to some of the places I read about.

the-duchess-01 I very much enjoyed this movie. I thought it was terribly sad/unfair what her husband did to her and how he controlled her life. He was such a hypocrite. I LOVED the dresses, costumes, and setting – that is usually my favorite thing about these movies. Another good Kiera Knightly movie!

I also watched The Duchess a while back and enjoyed it very much. But I don’t think that the Duke was the only one to fault their troubles. I think she was a hypochrite as well. She may not have started out as one, but I very much disliked her in the end. :)
