Nothing with Strings: NPR's Beloved Holiday Stories by Bailey White
Submitted by Melissa Gilman on December 29, 2008 - 4:08pm.
Reviewed by Andrea Sisco
Bailey White’s world is quirky. Her writing is concise and cuts to the chase. White “tells it like it is.” I think that’s why I enjoy her writing.

'Slumdog Millionaire' worth every penny
Submitted by Melissa Gilman on January 2, 2009 - 2:52pm.
The last evening of my free time I spent watching "Slumdog Millionaire" with my best friend Jody at the Eden Prairie Center. Jamal Malik is an 18-year-old orphan from Mubai who has won the opportunity to play on India's version of Who Wants to be a Millionaire? Malik's life and the answers to the game's questions are told through a series of flashbacks. I was totally rooting for Malik to win the girl and the money throughout the entire movie. "Slumdog Millionaire" is worth the $10 ticket stub and the cost of a DVD purchase.
