Finlay Donovan Knocks 'Em Dead by Elle Cosimano

 The second of a 3-part (and running) entertaining murder mystery series. This is not a 'cozy' mystery. It's a fun, comical, and contemporary novel about Finlay Donovan, a struggling author and soon-to-be-single mom in the midst of a divorce. The murder, crime, and romantic jams she gets into are her own fault, mostly, unless you count the prodding and questionable advice coming from her babysitter and partner-in-crime Vero.

You would definitely want to start with the first in the series, "Finlay Donovan is Killing It," before reading this one and the third, “Finlay Donovan Jumps the Gun.’

The Finlay Donovan books have been optioned for a TV series, but no production start date has been announced, so stay tuned. In the meantime, enjoy the mayhem.

 This is an eye opening book. I knew so very little about Vietnam. Thank you to all the men and women that served! The heroism of the combat nurses that served was unbelievable. The America they came home to and the unwelcomeness they were treated with is a story that had to be told. This was a powerful read.

Wolfe of Disney Food Blog, I realized I’m not exactly a “Disney Adult.” I’m more of a Disney brand enthusiast — someone who cherishes the memories I’ve made there and appreciates the quality the company is known for. A key takeaway for me was the importance of balance and priorities when engaging in any passion that could lean toward fanaticism. Overall, this audiobook is well-written and inclusive for everyone — from casual Disney fans to die-hard “Disney Adults.”

Black Noise by Tricia Rose

  This book was written over 30 years ago. The author was able to do a deep-dive into hip-hop when it was and had "blown up" - 1990s. It's an exploration of hip-hop as cultural expression of the lived experiences, struggles, and creativity of black communities. Tricia Rose explores race and identity, social and economic inequality, resistance and empowerment, and commercialization and authenticity between hip-hop’s roots in community expression and mainstream culture. It's a LOT to say the least. I highly recommend if you're a hip-hop head.
