"The moment this song starts, it feels iconic—nothing else sounds like it. It’s one of those songs that reflects the past, but sounds like the future. Is it possible to say it sounds new and old at the same time? Basically, ’Money’ is timeless. The song has this very stupid, dumb quality about it, and I think it’s so hooky"

"“It’s an amazing book but as a music fan, and as a guy, it feels so tailored to me and anyone like me. It’s about a guy who’s searching for relationships and understanding himself. It’s about music and passion for music, and there’s all sorts of wonderful references throughout. It seems like a book so perfectly suited to me as a person.”"

"“It’s by far my favourite film and so different to anything I’ve seen before. It feels like an artform in itself. I think I could just watch that movie and no other for the rest of my life and not feel as though I’d missed anything. It’s basically three men walking around a field. That’s all it is, yet it’s utterly mind- blowing.”"

"A film that continues to grow in my estimation every time I see it, and one that laid the bedrock for the Fellini explosion that was about to take place. So alive and spilling over with character and incident, it feels like a peek into the filmmaker’s own diary. It also features an amazing Nino Rota score and performances to die for."

"I only saw this a few years ago, and I think it’s become my favorite of the French New Wave. I think it’s virtually impossible to make a film about complex ideas and yet at the same time make it feel as light as air. It’s a thrilling film that feels very much of its period but also completely timeless."

No, this isn't a novel based on the life of the famous Aviatrix Amelia Earhart, but it certainly feels like that story inspired this one. Between that and Williams' sparkling prose, is it any wonder I gave it a full 5/5 stars? Take a look at my #bookreview here to read more.

3.5 stars.

It took me a while to get into this but when i did i got through it fairly quickly. I have to say that this feels a little unfinished. We never got the true bad guy so I'm assuming the story will be continuing in later books.

I'm going to leave it a while between this book and the next.

Definitely gave me some Throne of Glass feels, but I'm not complaining in the least! I was hooked pretty much from the first page. Work got in the way, but questions and suspicions and theories were always swarming inside my head; the story and its characters didn't leave me when I walked away. I will most certainly be continuing with this series!

Right from the shuffle fills, we have some very pleasant and precise melodic tinder for a nice soul fire.

Straight outta Motown, the vibe is chill and feels like a Sunday afternoon drinkathon, circa hour 2. Pass me the blunt and I'll have a whiskey soda. I'm going to crunch my tortilla chip in perfect quarter-note time, mothafucka. Preferably by the pool.
