A few good ones this month. James was well done and I loved learning more about Eve. Boots on The Ground was also good, I liked reading about veteran‘s experiences and it gave good insight.

pickThe Chateau Marmont, a historic landmark nestled on Sunset Boulevard, a trendy area of Los Angeles that has been a haven for Hollywood‘s elite for almost a century, is the subject of this captivating book. I thoroughly enjoyed the chronological structure, which segments the narrative into different time periods to highlight prominent celebrities, owners, and significant societal changes.

pickA visually stunning coffee-table book that chronicles the glamour, history, and cultural significance of Hollywood‘s most exclusive post-Oscar celebrations. The book does more than showcase pretty pictures; it also traces how Oscar parties evolved from intimate studio gatherings in the 1940s to the high-profile, branded spectacles of today. Readers interested in Hollywood history will appreciate the timeline of shifting trends in fame and media.

pickAn entertaining autobiography of a movie icon and what is surprising a very humble and insecure man.
An entertaining thrill ride from the start, this was an enjoyable read. Sun Trap follows a Hollywood movie crew to the Abu Dhabi desert, where the filmmaking gets deadly. This is one of the books with constant action. I was invested in the story although I did not feel connected to the characters at all. Especially after the half way mark there was twist after twist after twist. Also, is this not one of the most gorgeous covers you've ever seen?
