![]() Although, at her age I was a whole lot more boy crazy. I actually related to her in that I've also always been cautious, introverted and distant. What I did like about this book was Tilda's relationships losing a best friend, worrying over how much a new friend actually likes her, and trying to communicate with her little sister after years of being emotionally detached. ![]() First there wasn't enough action and instead a whole lot of sewing, then the actual role-playing wasn't all that exciting to follow. I found most of the LARP storyline to be somewhat uninteresting. Through most of it she's just building up the courage to meet new people and do new things, specifically getting into LARP with her new friend Jesper. ![]() It's a nice book but I also found it to be fairly boring. Natthimmel is about a fourteen year old girl, Tilda, and her teenage anxiety. ![]()

The photographes Mario Testino initially shot for Vanity Fair turned out to be the last official portraits taken of the Princess before her untimely death the same year. Mario Testino is widely recognized for his images that have appeared on the pages of major magazines including Vogue, V Magazine, Vanity Fair, Allure and GQ among others as well as his campaigns for leading fashion and beauty brands such as such as Gucci, Burberry, Versace, Michael Kors, Chanel, Estée Lauder and Lancôme.

But for me, Easy Rawlins is the most compelling reason for reading the novel. White Butterfly is a standard whodunit story with several interesting twists and turns that makes it a good, solid read.

But, when a white stripper, Cyndi Starr, AKA The White Butterfly is murdered then everything changes. The police paid little attention to the murders since the victims were black women. White Butterfly is about a series of murders in the black community of Los Angeles in 1956. However, I felt after reading this novel it was a good entry point for a Mosley newbie like myself. Mosley is known for the Easy Rawlins mysteries and White Butterfly is third one published in the series. I have looked at their books for years and said to myself, “I have to read a novel of theirs someday.” Someday has finally arrived and the timing is right.įirst up: White Butterfly by Walter Mosley Oddly enough, both authors are completely different on the literary spectrum.

Now I’ll admit, I realize that most of these physical books come with pictures inside of them so I know I’m missing out on some imagery, but I also know that sometimes the audiobooks have exclusive extras! Like in Naturally Tan, Antoni stopped by and recorded some bits with Tan, and in A Very Punchable Face, Colin let the listener in on a few more things that weren’t included in the physical book. I realize this is a me issue.īut I love listening to memoirs/biography’s when they’re narrated by the person who wrote them because it sounds like the author is speaking right to you! I listened to Michelle Obama’s Becoming on audio, I listened to Tan France’s Naturally Tan, and now I’ve listened to A Very Punchable Face by Colin Jost. I don’ like how they’re narrated, even with a cast, becuase you still have the same narrator reading the other character’s lines and it wounds so weird.
