#FromHereToTheGreatUnknown #LisaMariePresley #BookSpinBingo #SeriesLove2024 #October2024

This is Lisa Marie Presley's story in her own words written by her daughter, Riley Keough. Lisa's story about smashing golf cars in the yards of Graceland, about the unconditional love she felt from her father, about getting dragged screaming out of the bathroom with her father dead on the bathroom floor, about living in LA with her mom,

EadieB getting kicked out of schools, always in trouble, about her relationship with Danny Keough, Michael Jackson, Nic Cage, and Michael Lockwood, about motherhood, deep addiction, about grief from her son's suicide. It's the last words of the only child of an American icon. I really enjoyed this book and learning more about Lisa Marie Presley. She definitely was a somewhat lonely person filled with lots of grief. 2w

EadieB Her story is one that is filled with someone trying to come to terms with her father and his drug addiction which led to her leading a drug-filled life too. Her daughter, Riley, seems to be the only family member who was able to be a voice of reason in a household filled with addiction. If you like memoirs then you would love to read this book.

EadieB I'm interested in getting a copy of the audio in order to get a true feel of the book. Highly recommended! 2w

The Marriage Hearse | Kate Ellis

pick

#TheMarriageHearse #KateEllis #BookSpinBingo #SeriesLove2024 #October2024

Kirsten Harbourn is found murdered to death on her wedding day. Kirsten was being pursued by an obsessed stalker and she had dark secrets her doting fiancé knew nothing about. At Morbay register office a terrified young girl made her wedding vows, and a few days later her bridegroom was found dead in a seedy seaside hotel. Are these murders linked?

DieAReader, TheSpineView, TheAromaofBooks

EadieB Meanwhile the skeleton of a young female is found buried in a farmer's field, a field that once belonged to the family of Ralph Strong. Is this bloodthirsty play a confession to a murder committed in the reign of Queen Elizabeth I? Or does it tell another story, one that might cast light on recent mysteries? I loved this story by Kate Ellis. All the murders in this story are somewhat linked. 3w

EadieB I loved how they are tied together as the story is told. Kate Ellis does this as easily as she tells the story. Wesley's wife, Pam, is unhappy with her marriage as Wesley is busy solving the murders. Pam decides after her fling with Jonathan to move on and straighten up and not tell Wesley what was going on. I'm hoping she can keep her secret but I think there will be a consolation in books to come! 3w

TheSpineView Awesome! 3w

pick

#OnRecord1979 #GBrown #BookSpinBingo #SeriesLove2024 #October2024

This is a very interesting book about the year in music on record 1979. It has 200 rare images of the bands, 100 interviews and insights from the year 1979. The book belongs in the library of every music fan and music institution. It is a great book to put on your coffee table as a reference book.

EadieB I enjoyed reading this book and found a lot of bands and individuals that I was familiar with but also learned about the ones I hadn't known before. I would like to thank Colorado Music Experience and LibraryThing for introducing this book to me. Get a copy of this book to add to your library today! 1mo

Hitchcock Hotel | Stephanie Wrobel

so-so

#TheHitchcockHotel #StephanieWrobel #BookSpinBingo #SeriesLove2024 #October2024

A Hitchcock fanatic with an agenda invites old friends for a weekend stay at his secluded themed hotel in this fiendishly clever, suspenseful new novel. To celebrate the hotel‘s first anniversary, he invites his former best friends from his college Film Club for a reunion. He hasn‘t spoken to any of them in sixteen years.

DieAReader, TheSpineView, TheAromaofBooks

EadieB The group of characters of old friends are found to be not too popular. There isn't one old friend that I could really care about. I was looking forward to reading about some of the films that Hitchcock wrote. I found this book to be missing the important things that I was interested in. 1mo

EadieB I found this book to be a bit tame for a Hitchcockian mystery and the ending was a little weak. So all in all, I was a bit disappointed in this book. I look forward to reading another book by this author in order to compare her writing to this book. 1mo

TheSpineView Fantastic! 1mo

MrT That‘s that book off my TBR. Doesn‘t sound great not when having very little references to all those famous films and classic scenes. 1mo
