Happy weekend to you all!
You'll be happy to see I am off Harry Potter. In lieu of Nonfiction November, I went with a memoir of sorts. You will all know who she is, another member of the 27 club. (R.I.P.)
I'm posting early since I'll be at work.

Check out this read on Amazon.
Here is my snippet from 16% on my Kindle. That's how far I am.

    I am still in awe of Amy's musical talent. Such a loss.

    I saw a documentary about Amy. Poor thing. She was so talented and so lost. There is a saying that certainly applies to her: "Screwed up people make great art." My quotes are from HEY, KIDDO a graphic memoir.

      After reading her fathers' words, even just a little bit, LOST is not a word I would use to describe her. She was far from lost. I highly recommend this book, so you can see from the ones closest to her what she was really like. Documentaries are only perspectives.

    I'm sure this would be a sad but interesting read.

Scooby Doo: The Sword And The Scoob

AVAILABLE ON DIGITAL NOW AND DVD MARCH 23! RATED F 72 minutes AMAZON An evil sorceress transports the gang back to the age chivalrous knights, spell-casting wizards, and fire-breathing dragons. While there, Shaggy unwittingly pulls out Excalibur from a nearby stone to cut a block of cheese and now no one is sure who the rightful ruler is. The legendary wizard, Merlin, appears and explains that the throne of Camelot must be determined through TRIAL BY COMBAT. Our heroes pull out all the stops to try and win the tournament, break the witch's hold on King Arthur, and find a way back to the present in this legendary story of Scooby Doo in King Arthur's Court. REVIEW: It was weird starting off with a He-Man lookalike, Thunder the Barabarian), until I realized a character from the film was watching the cartoon in the airplane. Still, it was kind of cool to reminice about two cartoons from my childhood. So many great actors bring the film to life! What a fun story it was too! Although
