My daughter and I binged Sister Wives last year when she and my granddaughter were living with us. It was a great nightly ritual for us to unwind together after busy days. Since Christine's book just came out, I figured I'd start at the beginning before reading it.
pick“Dead Famous“ is a sharp, funny, and ultimately disturbing look at the dark side of reality television and the lengths people will go to for fame. It‘s a thought-provoking commentary on a culture where entertainment often trumps human decency, and where the line between reality and fiction becomes increasingly blurred.
pickI've only known Kelly Osbourne from her song “Daddy don't preach“, but when I came along this book, the cover just spoke to me. And after reading it, I'd say I would like to be friends with Kelly. We wouldn't agree on everything, but I'm deeply impressed with her, her honesty, and her attitude. She's very, very honest and open in those letters, about herself, the showbiz, her family.

Since I've finished my book for #BookishMonopoly yesterday evening, I made a new roll, and landed on “Chance“ again. So once again, I noted down all the books I have planned to read the next months and made a blind draw.
I got lucky, because I have planned Kelly anyway for later this month as part of my #roll100 rolls. Guess this book really wants to be read 😁

pickIntroducing House Arrest, a reality show where the general public are locked in a house for a couple of months for a prize of half a million pounds (basically the same format as Big Brother).
Day 27 starts like any other until one of the housemates is murdered live on the Internet feed. Whose responsible? The house is full of cameras so this has to be an easy plot to solve. Right?

pickFascinating look at a (fictional) reality tv show featuring six young girls determined to be stars in the entertainment field. Told in a past/present format, the book details the cutthroat environment, the backstabbing, and the manipulation by adults who will do anything to have these kids in the spotlight!
pickA pot dealer with an unambitious boyfriend ends up on a reality show, trying to earn a spot on a one-way expedition to Mars.
The story is both a lighthearted rom-com and a dark, biting satire, with some interesting science and sci-fi mixed in. There were parts that dragged, interspersed with moments of brilliance.
