pickBetter than the first! I really liked Georgina and her relationship with Ffion. Kinda frustrated with Leo & Ffion. But the supporting characters were great and Macintosh does a great job making the setting come to life.
pickEssie is a teen who has grown up on reality TV show centered around her religious family. Now 17 and pregnant, her mother and the production crew want to plan how best to handle her but Essie has her own plan. I liked this book so much more than I suspected I would! Told in three perspectives which added more substance to what could have just been a light page turner. I rooted for Essie to finally get the escape she needed.
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.

pickSo good! I loved every minute of this follow up to The Last Party except for the end where it ended on a cliffhanger. And the next one isn‘t out yet. But it was a solid mystery, had great character development, and a fast pace and I‘ll look forward to the next one eagerly. #BookspinBingo @TheAromaofBooks
pickReally getting into some books set in Wales. This is the 2nd book in the Ffion Morgan series and I might have liked it more than the 1st!
This one has a reality tv show set up in the mountains and a contestant goes missing. While they‘re trying to find the missing contestant, the show runner is murdered.
This was a good mystery, but I really liked the relationships!
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 😁

pickThe sequel to The Last Party. Once again, the detective is in town to resolve a murder. This time it involves participants (in a reality TV show) ready to do anything for their secrets to not be televised. 🎥📺
so-so
