Plot or Premise

Cover: The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck by Mark Manson

This is a self-help guide to reducing your stress levels by choosing to care only about those things that are important to you.

What I Liked

I found this a very odd book to read. In almost every chapter, I found myself disagreeing with his evidence and examples, often thinking they proved the opposite of what he was trying to use them to prove, yet at the same time agreeing with some of the premises.… Read the rest

Plot or Premise

Cover: Notorious Nineteen by Janet Evanovich

Someone’s threatening Ranger and his soon-to-be-married army buddy, so he hires Stephanie to help with security for the bride

What I Liked

Plum’s got her latest assignment, no problem. She just has to bring in Ranger, a suspect in the death of a wanna-be gangster, the son of an arms dealer.
