![]() So I think I’m gonna join The Death Club and let my freak flag fly. ![]() The Death Club (Dead Men Walking Duet):. Everyday low prices and free delivery on eligible orders. Every day is anarchy and that’s my favourite flavour. Buy The Death Club (Dead Men Walking Duet) by Peckham, Caroline, Valenti, Susanne (ISBN: 9781914425325) from Amazon's Book Store. Want to know another one? I quite like it here. Don’t ask them or they’ll send me back to that creepy asylum where they gave me the crazy pills. Which is a freaking insult by the way as I’m already the best killer in town. ![]() I can’t decide which I want most.Īnyways, my hot, tattooed, muscular insane Irish captor thinks I might make a good hit woman once he trains me up. ![]() I call him Dead Man on account of his soulless eyes. Oh and there’s another dude down here who lives in a cage and doesn’t talk. I was kidnapped, sold, sold again, stuck in a death game, sold AGAIN and now I’m living in a serial killer’s basement. I wished for my life to improve, but it didn’t. I know killing technically doesn’t start with a C – but wouldn’t life be better if it did? Just like it would be better if the Devil was my boyfriend, Santa wasn’t a d*ck and I didn’t live under a bridge. ![]() ![]() ![]() Displayed on its shelves were row upon row of books on the pandemic. ![]() ?I just arrived from Malaysia a few days ago and one of my weekly haunts was the well-stocked Kinokuniya Bookstore in KLCC.

To write his original screenplay, Kubrick embarked on two years of intensive research with the help of dozens of assistants and an Oxford Napoleon specialist, he amassed an unparalleled trove of research and preproduction material, including approximately 15,000 location scouting photographs and 17,000 slides of Napoleonic imagery. ![]() Slated for production immediately following the release of 2001: A Space Odyssey, Kubrick’s Napoleon was to be at once a character study and a sweeping epic, replete with grandiose battle scenes featuring thousands of extras. For 40 years, Kubrick fans and film buffs have wondered about the director’s mysterious unmade film on Napoleon Bonaparte. ![]() ![]() The Elegance of the Hedgehog by Muriel Barbaryįind it/buy it here: The Elegance of the Hedgehog This month’s selection is yet another of Boxall’s 1001 Books to Read Before you Die : The Elegance of the Hedgehog by Muriel Barbery. Read the reviews and let us know whether either of the reviewers managed to convince you. I do have strong feelings about this book but I’ll leave it up to you to guess whether I loved it or hated it (I was not one of the reviewers). ![]() Our very own Book Worm was the Love it Reviewer and Zombie Kitten was our Hate it Reviewer. For the first time since starting this feature, the “Hate it/don’t want to read it” people won with 58% of the vote! Many thanks to our reviewers for their awesome reviews. Last time we discussed The Children’s Book by A.S. Welcome to the Love it or Hate it post! Each month, we’ll pick one book to review and two contributors will battle it out to convince you to pick it up or throw it out. Instead people either seem to love it or hate it. Have you ever noticed how some books seem to drive a wedge between people? You check the reviews and find almost no middle-of-the-road ratings. ![]() ![]() Their emotional arc was in overcoming this. The story that you tell about them – young, hormonal and immature was well conveyed to me. ![]() Sam is a forest firefighter, a “hotshot”. He’s so connected to her that when he is told she was in a car accident in Colorado, he immediately flies (from the Lake Tahoe area) to be by her side. Dianna, for reasons revealed later, leaves Sam at the tender age of 20 and Sam has never, ever gotten over it. Sam and Dianna were the epitome of young love (or at least that is the set up that you want us to buy initially). Accuracy, authenticity take second fiddle to the emotional arcs of the characters. The story is paramount and little details don’t matter so long as the story proceeds in the fashion that you want. While Hot as Sin is readable, it suffers from the same problem as the football book. ![]() I was hoping that this would be different. I admit that the one and only book I read by you was one about football and I had a fairly negative reaction to it given that so little of the football aspect was portrayed with accuracy.
