The Memoir of Marilyn Monroe
Review: The Memoir of Marilyn Monroe - Sandi Gelles-Cole -April 2011
Are you a fan of the Hollywood Heartbreaker Marilyn Monroe ? Have a thing for the old stars of Hollywood Cinema. For me, reading this book was enjoyable as I have a thing for what I call Vintage Stars as my room is adorned with the likes of Audrey Hepburn, James Dean and Marilyn Monroe. This year also is a celebrated year for Marilyn Monroe fans as if she was still alive and kicking she would have celebrated her 85th Birthday on June 1st 2011. So when I saw this book advertised for a tour , I jumped at the chance - if not for a small trip down memory lane but a massive leap into What If ???? . What if ,Marilyn Monroe had lived that night on August 5th 1962 , what if her life hadn't ended at aged 36yrs old. Her Death was never really solved and was classified as "possible suicide". However , Sandi Gelles-Cole puts to rest her version of what happened that night and answers all of our what-if's Marilyn survived that fateful night , what if Joey DiMaggio saved her from her evil housemaid who wanted revenge for firing her -Eunice Murray. The Memoir of Marilyn Monroe details her life from August 5th 1962 right up to June 1st 2011 and talks about her life as Norma Jean Baker , as Marilyn Monroe and her life After Marilyn which saw her hide her identity and become a whole new person Cherie .
The Memoir of Marilyn Monroe is the ideal read for any film buff and any true fan of Marilyn Monroe's will love it to pieces and thrive on the What-If's.

Review: Punk 57 - Penelope Douglas

  Review: Punk 57 - Penelope Douglas - October 2016 As soon as I read Bully by Penelope Douglas, I was in love with this author. So when she released a new one who had my favorite theme of penpals and that whole friend to lovers going on, I knew I had to read it. The book started out with a bit of background where we learned about how Misha and Ryen were placed together in a classroom project penpal program. The pair continues to write to each other right through the year, and then they take it to the next level and continue through the rest of their schooling. Fast forward to high school Misha is in a band and Ryen is out with her friends and they complete a scavenger hunt form. Ryen is not what Misha expected especially from her letters. Tragedy occurs, and Misha turns up at Ryen's school under a fake name. This doesn't go over too well as Ryen is nothing like her letters, in fact, she is as fake as can be and Misha aka Masen hates her, in fact, she

Review: Steel Princess - Book #2 Royal Elite Series - Rina Kent - December 2019 At the end of Book #1, we were left on a cliffhanger of Elsa being pushed into the pool. At the beginning of book #2, she is saved by a newcomer to the school - Knox.  We can see some friendly flirting but nothing more going on between these two, but it riles up Aiden who still has this mindset of "if I can't have her, no-one can" especially since he is supposed to be engaged to Silver Queens. During Book #2 Elsa starts to recall some more memories and goes to Dr.Khan in hopes that he can open her Pandora's box and can restore her full memories of what happened before she was seven years old. We also catch a glimpse during this book of her past and why Aiden King's father blames her for his mother's death and why Aiden considered Elsa a ghost. I liked this book as it was more intense with Elsa's memories and past returning. In Book #2 it is revealed about he

Review: Dr. Strange Beard - Book #5 Winston Brothers Series - Penny Reid - July 2018 If there is a family that I love to read about it has been the Winston Brothers. This has to be one of my favorite book series out there as the brothers ; you can't help but fall in love with them all - with their funny quirks and their redneck comments. The other thing I love about The Winston Brothers is they are all genuinely nice guys ; they may look like they had a bad bone and they have reasons too - but they are the nicest around there, and they have the best intentions. Dr. Strange Beard is the youngest Roscoe's story. Roscoe has only ever loved one person his entire life besides his family - Simone Payton and now she is back in Green Valley except now she is an undercover FBI agent who is after his Dad Darrell Winston. Of course, to make the snatch, she has to get close to the Winstons and who better to use as a target but Roscoe. The thing is though that ten years a
