![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I’ve found 17 books I want to read in 2020 and made suggestions on which Baby Step I think they’re most relevant to. This year I want to read more personal finance books and I want you to read them with me! There are so many great ones out there I just haven’t had the time to read them. I was recently asked what books I recommended reading on the debt free journey and I didn’t have a solid answer. Now that I have a slight grasp on the direction of the blog I want to get back to my first love, personal finance. It was necessary because I had no clue how to run a blog, much less get paid for all the time I put into it. In 2017 I got into entrepreneurial books. I loved it so much I reviewed it and it became one of my most popular pins on Pinterest. Shortly after I started my blog, I read The Top 10 Distinctions Between Millionaires & The Middle Class by Keith Cameron Smith. ![]() ![]() ![]() If you like the Blues these little notes (yes, you may groan) are pleasant to stumble across. ![]() Like the previous novel (and left out of that review) Blues music is an undercurrent to the book, as it pops up in characters’ homes and other locations. (As noted in the “Author’s Note”, the specific film companies mentioned did not exist, but others that had similar stories did.) It is all very interesting if, like me, you had no knowledge of this history. Before he started his first film business he also wrote and sold popular fiction books for blacks by writing them about black (“Negro” to use the period-correct descriptive) American characters. ![]() The story revolves around an elderly (90) man who was a pioneering writer and director. In this book, the primary one is that of a parallel network of black filmmakers and movie theaters just like the Negro baseball league existed in parallel with “major league baseball”. As in most of his books, the writing is tight, the characters realistic, and the storyline engaging.Īs noted in my review of “The Bessie Blue Killer”, the lead characters get embroiled in mysteries that revolve around significant trivia and historical facts. ![]() I am giving this a “4” based on the writing, plotting and minutia that the author incorporates into it. This book is the fourth in the series (it comes after “The Bessie Blue Killer”) and I found it to be as engaging and as well-written as the previous volume. ![]() ![]() ![]() We’d escaped to the wilderness, but it would never hold my freedom.

He riffs on literary genres (“Choose Your Own Memoir” displays a MadLibs mash-up of tropes) and the writing process (“The Writer’s Block” offers a Richard Scarry–esque streetscape whose “Publishing House” bears a “No Soliciting” sign). Snider is “writing the great American novel,” and one gets the sense that creating these comics was an escape during slumps. This playful, self-aware collection of strips and gags on the joys and frustrations of reading and writing is equal parts lighthearted and sincere. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Further complicating things is the return of old mob boss Lew Moxon and his daughter Mallory who was a childhood friend of Bruce’s. Tied to the death is a new player in town named Philo Zeiss, an assassin with special abilities who seems to be able to outmatch Batman. ![]() The main arc centers on the death of one of Bruce Wayne’s close friend, when he is killed in a shootout with the police after a robbery attempt. This volume collects Batman #582-586, 591-597 and O ur Worlds at War #1. Much like the Detective Comics writer and future collaborator Greg Rucka, Brubaker brought a much more grounded hardboiled style to the Dark Knight that hadn’t been seen since Frank Miller’s Year One. With this collection, DC finally rights that wrong and presents the first story arc that Brubaker did on Batman before the rest of the run contributed to the Batman: Murderer?/Fugitive storyline. Almost everything he does is great and held in high regard, which makes it strange that his work on the main Batman line often gets overlooked. Ed Brubaker is a highly revered writer in comics known for his work on everything from Captain America to Gotham Central. ![]() ![]() She shows the glitter on the screen, but also the exhaustion, the fragility, the truths behind the scripted lives. ![]() But she’s as stubborn as her employer and, whether faced with love or loss or potential scandal, she finds her way in Hollywood.Īdriana Trigiani pulls us firmly into Golden Age Hollywood. Hollywood is a world away from the convent and Alda fights to maintain her honest values in this city of carefully managed lies. Despite her Catholic upbringing, and her better judgment, she falls for the married Gable.Īlongside the story of Loretta Young and Clark Gable’s troubled relationship is that of fictional Sister Alda Ducci, forced to leave her convent to work as Loretta’s secretary. But she doesn’t anticipate how Gable fills the set, touching everyone with his energy and charisma. She has no intention of falling for this one. Loretta is young, but successful, with 50 film credits to her name and her share of leading men. In 1935, Loretta Young and Clark Gable meet on the set of The Call of the Wild, being filmed on location on snowy Mount Baker in Washington. ![]() ![]() ![]() The mythology of each of the dragons, the magic school and the slow build up with the main character make for a well-paced story that reveals just enough to keep you salivating for more.

Read 'Firebolt' by Adrienne Woods available from Rakuten Kobo. ![]() And the only way Elena’s going to graduate is on the back of a dragon of her own. The cutest guy around may be an evil dragon, a Prince wants Elena’s heart, and a long dead sorcerer may be waking up to kill her. Now Elena’s in a new world, and a new school. Until the night a fairy tale killed her father. Adrienne Woods has delivered yet another hit with this second installment in The Dragonian Series I simply couldn't wait to devour this sequel to Firebolt, and when I found out it was 500 pages, I was excited to the say the least. Teenage girls don’t believe in fairy tales, and sixteen-year old Elena Watkins was no different. It’s been a while since I had read a book that has transported me into a world, so well constructed, so beautiful and in-depth that I’ve had to purchase every book in the series and stay awake until 4 am for two days running to cram as much of the books into my skull as possible.ĭragons. Firebolt Our Story stars with 16 year old Elena Watkins that lived with her father. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Crow’s work delivers a truthful and ultimately empowering missive about the long shadow cast by an abusive parent. Despite instances of stiff dialogue, Crow vividly characterizes a complex, deeply intelligent, and volatile figure whose lies would extend as far as fabricating his Native American heritage. As an adult, Crow confronts the impact of Thurston’s violence and insatiable lies on his psychological development, while acknowledging his history of enabling his father’s crimes at last, he confronts the monstrous man who raised him. Crow grapples with the realization that Thurston unsuccessfully attempted to murder his mother, nearly making good on his frequent threats to make her disappear (“I was three and a half the first time my dad told me we had to get rid of my mother”). A shrewd con artist with a genius IQ, Thurston intimidated David with beatings to coerce him into doing his criminal bidding. In this painful memoir, Crow recounts his experience growing up with a mentally ill mother and a violent, psychologically abusive father who expected his son to be “a Cherokee Indian of superior intelligence and courage.” With a degree of emotional dissonance, Crow explores the circumstances that led to his father Thurston’s arrest for nearly beating a man to death before the author was born, and how his disarming charisma and fabrications led to a light sentence. But as time passed, David discovered the other side of Thurston Crow, the ex-con with his own code of ethics that justified cruelty, violence, lieseven murder. ![]() ![]() Learn about the food, culture and language.
