Whene'er a cloud appears in the blue
Remember, somewhere the sun is shining
And so the right thing to do
Is make it shine for you“ 🌤️

I heard about this book on a podcast & decided to listen to it. It was not exactly what I expected but still interesting & full of unique characters that eventually all tie together at the nightclub, The Cat‘s Pajamas. The young girl is a really fun MC because of her sass, but you will feel sad for her at times.

#doublespin I enjoyed this more than the first instalment, better character development & and more interesting ‘mystery‘ - looking forward to reading the next in the series!

I really liked Beautyland and the Book Riot podcast folks love this one, so I figured I‘d give it a try. I made it almost halfway through but I just don‘t care. It isn‘t grabbing me at all. So, on to the next.

OutsmartYourShelf
Why Sinatra Matters | Pete Hamill
post image
Pickpick

Republished in honour of what would have been Sinatra's 100th birthday in 2015, this is a personal tribute to 'Ol Blue Eyes' himself. Although it obviously centres around the man & his career, it also covers Italian immigration into America & Sinatra's first brush with prejudice, the rise & fall of Prohibition (& by extension the Mob), & the Second World War. (continued)

OutsmartYourShelf I'm not what you would call a Sinatra fan, he was more my mum's cup of tea, but I found this surprisingly interesting to read. It's fairly short at just under 200 pages but it's a good introduction if you have a longer biography about Sinatra to read (which I do).

The author was apparently a friend/acquaintance of the man before he died & his admiration & regard for Sinatra comes through his writing.

OutsmartYourShelf The focus is obviously on Sinatra's music, but I was surprised that his dealings with the Kennedys & the 'Rat Pack' were not covered here & I'm still not sure what the actual truth was when it comes to certain rumoured connections. A good read though. 4🌟
