Review: Manage Your Money Like F*cking Grownup

Sam Beckbessinger, gives you the low down straight off the bat!

She gives you information in an accessable form which is easy to understand and absorb.

Her numbers are backed by research and studies published.

She lightly delves into our social history to explain the ramifications on our past economic and current history.

My most important takeaway from this marvellous book is that money is emotional. Read it, and you'll understand!

Her content is information everyone needs to know. She knows what she is talking about. Humour makes it an easy read.

Every young South African needs to read this, especially if youre a woman of colour!

5* rating!!!

Review: Dead Souls

Dead Souls Dead Souls by Angela Marsons
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Bones from a few bodies are 'found' in one grave by Dr A and where there are bodies, you will inevitably find DI Kim Stone. However this particular site has an unclear jurisdictional border, so she is forced to work with Detective Travis in a joint investigation and her team is left to fend for themselves.

Kim and Travis uncover a strange agreement between the landlord and tenant of the grave site. Further events connecting both parties brings to light sinister events.

You get to know a few characters a little better than you did in previous novels. I Dr A features a bit more and I love the dynamic of Travis and Kim and the slow resolve of their relationship. You are taken to previous a time in Kim's life not seen before.

This novel also tackles the social injustice of racism. Angela Marsons deals with it in a forthright manner and pushes to you think of the extreme results of racism.

I thoroughly enjoyed this novel. @writeangie is fast on the heels of my idol @slaughterkarin with this installment of her Kim Stone series.

Review: The City of Brass by SJ Chakraborty

This was awesome! I need more!!! I read this ages ago and am publishing this now because I'm about to begin book 2 in this series: The Kingdom of Copper

I absolutely love these characters, each one so well developed and executed. I am in awe of S.J.

As she does with her characters, her talent in setting a scene and creating an  ambience is phenomenal. You feel as if you're there, being chased by ifrit (that's not a spoiler - just saying!)

Nahri is a kick ass heroine and she's found herself in weird circumstances with an even stranger companion on her journey.

Her journey is both a physical and a metaphorical one.

Thrilling and intriguing, this is sure to draw you in.

Keep an eye out for the next review.

Review: The Word Is Murder

The Word Is Murder The Word Is Murder by Anthony Horowitz
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Horowitz wove his true life experiences as a writer into a plausible fictional story - at least I think the case is fictional...

I was quite lukewarm with the plot and style but found the actual writing not bad.

Review: The Midnight Line

The Midnight Line The Midnight Line by Lee Child
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I am such a Lee Child fan.

Just a one line review: No lies, this is entertaining reading.

BTW, does anyone else think that Jack Reacher is a better looking Chuck Norris with a high IQ?
