I'm torn on how much more screwed up he could have been to get kicked out of Black Sabbath than the rest of the band and I think his going solo was the best thing for him.
Question 5: Do you think it was fair that he got kicked out? What about his name change suggestion of Black Sabbath II? And which do you prefer Black Sabbath or Ozzy solo? My favorite is his solo work 🖤

Been listening to this one all morning. Absolute peace. 🧡💜🩵

I have read a lot of reviews that said this book drags on too much. Maybe it‘s just me, but I can‘t get enough of it. I‘m enjoying every last bit.

This is the 61st novel in the 'In Death' series. I have read them all and still find them to be both great police procedurals and very entertaining. This one revolves around the art world and does a great job of illustrating the work and research that goes into catching a killer. If you like mysteries with strong female characters, I highly recommend this series but start with #1 “Naked in Death“. Thanks to Edelweiss+ for the ARC. 4.25/5 stars

My favorite film of all time. Loved the book, too, but it's not my #1.
