Liam for Hire by A. Zukowski
Liam For Hire can be read as a standalone, but it does feature a couple of characters from the first book - The Boy Who Fell To Earth. That was an amazing read, so I wholeheartedly recommend you do start with that one first, just so you get the full picture.

Liam is one of those characters, and we meet up with him a few months after Sasha. He has mainly got his act together, and is now an escort. He knows what he is, and what he does. He would like more, but he just can't see it. As the story progresses you see many reasons for why he would feel like this, and trust me, it will break your heart. As for Ali, there is little I can say about him apart from I LOVE HIM!! His attitude was perfect for Liam, and helped him in more ways than even Liam realised.

This is a dark read yet again, showing Liam's addiction, and recovery, and addiction. Too many good bits to mention, I was thoroughly engrossed in this book, and read it in one sitting. It was so nice to read a story from Liam's perspective. With no editing or grammatical errors to disrupt my reading flow, I have no hesitation in recommeding this story, or this author. Absolutely fantastic, and I can't wait for Chris' story.

Spree...a little weird but pretty good
So I was scrolling through Netflix, like we have all been doing during the pandemic...and I came across Spree

Instantly I noticed Joe Keery, Steve from Stranger Things, whom I'm a fan of, in the trailer so I thought "Eh, why not see what it's like"

Is it a weird film? Yes. But good weird? Yes, I think so anyways.

Joe Keery plays Kurt, who is DESPERATE to go viral. He wants to be SEEN. He wants the whole world to KNOW who he is. So he decides he's came up with the perfect plan to go viral...

Joe Keery plays Kurt amazingly. He is so convincing and can tell he really got into the role.

Sasheer Zamata's role of Jess...prefect. Sasheer plays the character of Jess, a comedian, who has gone viral for her comedy. Jess has a large following and along the way she meets Kurt...

Spree shows the addiction people can get to their phones and the internet. The effect it has on live streamers, YouTubers etc, and the viewers. It shows that so many people are desensitised to many things that come up on the internet.

It shows both sides of addiction to the internet through Kurt and Jess.

The whole film is made from people filming themselves via their phones, CCTV footage etc

Overall, I'd definitely recommend that people into this genre should check it out. Heads up, it is weird but I personally enjoyed it and it's worth giving it a chance to see if you like it too.

The Gateway Book to a Lifelong Addiction
I started reading the Harry Potter series while lifeguarding during a particularly rainy summer season. (I promise there were no people in the pool while I indulged) Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone is a book that introduces you to Hogwarts and the magics of the wizarding world. It's not the best of the series, but that's okay. It gets better as you get more invested in the series. That being said, it is awesome to go back and re-read the first book to see all of the references that are made that relate to later events and people.

Ms. Jenkin’s shares her story of traveling from what was seemingly a normal life to addiction to jail to sobriety in a way that is eye opening and entertaining offering hope to the reader that life can be good again. (0 more)
Contains spoilers, click to show
This book, a true life story, is written in a way that reads like fiction and engages from the beginning. It is short and easy to read but full of valuable lessons to the reader of what jail is like and what it feels like to both have messed up and hurt those you love as well as successfully navigated recovery. There is some “mature content” (drug use, language, lesbianism) but it isn’t gratuitous. Ms. Jenkins book is as funny, touching, and insightful as her blog, “Juggling The Jenkins”.

This series gets better and better!
It’s not often that the second book in a trilogy is better than the first, but I really feel that’s the case with this book. The machinations against one another (that’ll be EVERYONE!), the political intrigue - no-one trusts anyone else in this series, and for good reason! Nobody is particularly nice. The sexual tension between Jude and Carden reaches a whole new level, but even then, there’s no trust. I didn’t see ANY of the double crosses coming, but then I was so sucked in to the story, so it’s hardly surprising.
This is such a good series, and I have a year to wait for the last instalment!!
Many thanks to Readers First for my copy of this book, and for feeding the Faerie land addiction!
