Review: I Am Zlatan – Zlatan Ibrahimovic, David Lagercrantz

Review: I Am Zlatan – Zlatan Ibrahimovic, David Lagercrantz

*I received a free ARC of I Am Zlatan from Random House via Netgalley in exchange of an honest and unbiased review* My I Am Zlatan Review I am Zlatan reads as a stream of consciousness from Zlatan himself. It is as if Lagercrantz wrote down everything Zlatan said during a couple of interviews, and all of the shared thoughts are a part of this book. And while a lot of it was very interesting, there certainly were some things that felt like a little too much, too. Of course, everyone who watches soccer knows who Zlatan Ibrahimovic is, and while I’m not a soccer fan, I have seen parts of his games on TV. And sure, he’s a brilliant […]

Review: Don’t Talk to Strangers – Amanda Kyle Williams

Review: Don’t Talk to Strangers – Amanda Kyle Williams

*I received a free ARC of Don’t Talk to Strangers from Bantam Books via Edelweiss in exchange of an honest review* My Don’t Talk to Strangers Review Don’t Talk to Strangers is a fantastic, devious and clever suspense story. Complete with a big fat who-dun-it, a most excellent private detective / profiler who used to work for the FBI and a possible serial killer in a small town where there are many small-minded people. Keye Street sure has her work cut out for her when the sheriff of Whisper, Georgia, calls her to ask for her services in a case where two female bodies have been found one on top of the other in the woods, close to a stream. […]

Up Close and (un)Conventional #4 – Friends from the Internet

Up Close and (un)Conventional #4 – Friends from the Internet

Up Close and (un)Conventional #4 – Friends from the Internet Welcome to this week’s Up Close and (un)Conventional. Today, I want to talk about all the wonderful people we meet online. We have great discussions, we enjoy many of the same things, and we get along very well. I have two reasons that made me want to chat about friends from the internet, one is that BEA was on not long ago, and I know a lot of bloggers who got to meet each other for real for the first time. And I know they were happy about it, excited, and then sad to say goodbye. Several years ago, during the TV show Lost, I became friends with lots of […]

Sidekick Showcase #38 – LGBT Rainbow

Sidekick Showcase #38 – LGBT Rainbow

Sidekick Showcase, previously known as Sidekick Saturday is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by Jaclyn at JC’s Book Haven. There are many secondary characters that are as great as the primaries. In some cases, the sidekicks actually steal the show and you like them better than the heroine or hero. Maybe they didn’t have enough page time for how great they were. Anyone can play along! I will post my Sidekicks on Saturday, and so will Jaclyn, then whichever day during the week that you would like to post yours, you can put your link in on Jaclyn’s page. Just do the following: • Choose a sidekick *or someone other than the hero or heroine* that you would like to […]

Review: Tabula Rasa – Kristen Lippert-Martin

Review: Tabula Rasa – Kristen Lippert-Martin

*I received a free ARC of Tabula Rasa from Egmont USA via Edelweiss in exchange of an honest review* Tabula Rasa is an excellent science fiction YA story, I loved the scientific aspect of it, and Sarah was an amazing main character. At the beginning of Tabula Rasa, the readers find Sarah in a facility where scientists and doctors are working on erasing part of her memory. They won’t let her see herself in a mirror, as her looks might trigger memories they have already gotten rid of. She thinks she is there because she is a criminal who has done something horrible, and erasing some of her memories are supposed to make her a stand-up citizen once more. Only […]
