pick⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I‘m not really certain why I picked this up right at this moment. Maybe an Audible sale that I decided to get from the library? I‘m often a frugal reader. Anyway, this was published in 2003, so long before his tragic death. Therefore, it‘s not complete, but learning of his tumultuous childhood, how his love of dogs developed, and how he got started musically was 100% worthwhile. DMX didn‘t narrate, but the guy who did has a similar voice.

Thanks for suggesting this thread Andrew. It is great to look back on my reading year and everyone else's.
This was the second in an excellent pair of memoirs told by Scottish author Janice Galloway, and I then went on to read her first novel. A great account of three women living in Glasgow in 50s/60s , janice, her mother, and her sister.
pick4 Stars • I found this inside-peek to be very uplifting. Melania Trump published her memoir titled "Melania" in late 2024, which discusses her Slovenian childhood, modeling career, and life as First Lady. The book ends just after the Butler, Pennsylvania, assassination attempt on her husband, Donald Trump. The book has been both praised and criticized, with some seeing it as an inspirational account of resilience, while others view it as shallow.
I only had one 5 🌟 read for January, and that was Patrick Stewart's excellent memoir. Although I did discover some disappointing things about his personal life, a bit of a womanizer and a cheater, I still admire his talent and his ability to overcome such a hard upbringing.

My favourite Christmas present was from my Mum, I love Ken Done (half my wardrobe is dresses made from Ken Done fabrics and I have KD sheets on my bed too) - so this is all extremely 😍🤩 to me!!! (There was also a little nutcracker on the outside of the parcel that I forgot to add in - so she really hit on two things I absolutely adore)
Merry Christmas!
It‘s not Christmas without the Avengers 🌂🥂
pickI have never seen a second of Drake & Josh, nor have I seen any of Peck's Vines, YouTube videos, etc., but I did enjoy listening to this on audiobook. It's clear that Peck has spent significant time working on himself over the years and has some good takeaway insights.
pickJean Luc Picard and Charles Xavier, two legendary characters. An interesting autobiography.
