Little Thoughts About Books and Stuff

The Big Bad Book of Bill Murray: A Critical Appreciation of the World's Finest Actor by Robert Schnakenberg My rating: 3 of 5 stars I was looking for something along the lines of a biography or at least something that wasn't like and encyclopedia. The Big Bad Book of Bill Murray is basically an encyclopedia of his life and works, with tidbits and quotes scattered around the pages. As a fan of the man, I enjoyed flipping through the (electronic) pages and seeing references to co-stars, friends, and movies. A lot of the information can be found by doing a basic search, but it's nice to have it compiled in one place. This is the perfect book for the die-hard Bill Murray fans. I received an e-book copy from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

Where's Karl?: A Fashion-Forward Parody by Stacey Caldwell My rating: 4 of 5 stars There are a few things I like more than reading a basic book. One is a book that engages you past your initial reading. Something that will keep you coming back time again either to reread or to find something new.  This book promises to keep you entertained through multiple 'readings'. I sat down and read the book and managed to find Karl at each stop on the journey. There is a list in the back of the book of other things to find and I only glanced at it and tried to find a few.

I, personally, may not have the best fashion sense, but I have my own style. I love watching fashion shows and red carpets to see what everyone is wearing. I also love to see pictures from the fashion weeks and the outlandish things they se...

Hello, Goodbye, and Everything in Between by Jennifer E. Smith My rating: 3 of 5 stars There were two things about this book that I liked. They were also the two things I disliked about this book. 1. The majority of the book takes place over the course of like 12 hours. It was both enough and not enough time spent with these characters trying to figure out anything. You are just sucked along with the story. 2. I didn't know how everything was going to end up, were Claire and Adian staying together or breaking up before they both leave for college. I received an ebook copy for an honest review from Netgalley.
