It's So Easy: And Other Lies

Duff McKagan of Guns N' Roses and Velvet Revolver shares his story of fame and fortune, drugs and alcohol, his crash and burn, and his transformation after his near-death experience. While growing up in Seattle Duff was no stranger to the music scene, but he needed to get away from the heroin that was claiming the lives of his closest friends. At the age of twenty, and only in Los Angeles a few weeks, he answered a want ad for a bass player. He met Slash and Steven Adler and the rest is history. 

I enjoyed reading about Duff's life before the fame. The relationship he had with his mother was sweet. Same with the relationship he had with his dog, Chloe. It's sad that Duff's friends were dropping like flies because of drugs, but when he had to put Chloe down.. OMG the tears!!

DCI Erika Foster is called to a murder scene where the victim is found dead in bed with a plastic bag over his head. As DCI Foster and her team are looking for clues as to who could have committed the murder, another victim is found dead in bed with a plastic bag over his head. All they know at this point is that there is a calculated serial killer out there stalking the victims before going in for the kill. What could possibly link the victims to their killer? DCI Foster will do whatever it takes to find out. Another great book in the DCI Erika Foster series! It's well-written. It's descriptive, it's vivid, it's a page-turner. It has strong characters, great pacing. I can't say enough good things.

To make matters worse it's Christmas Eve. But she's not the only one having a bad day - Anthony, a native New Yorker, is surprising his girlfriend at the airport after spending three months apart. But it's him who's surprised when he gets dumped in the middle of the crowded airport. Anthony doesn't want to go home, and Charlotte isn't able to go home, so together they end up following the steps in a book found in the airport gift shop - Ten Easy Steps for Getting Over Your Ex - in the hopes that their broken hearts will be mended. This is a cute, short read. The story is predictable, of course, and I'm taking it for what it is which is just a fluffy, feel good read. But these two met not even 24 hours ago and they already love each other! Anthony was in a relations
