I'm reading Daisy Jones and The Six, by Taylor Jenkins Reid, which will be released next year. It 's a "retrospective" about a fictional band from the 1970s and is written in interview style about the band's creation, rise, and the night that changed them forever. It reads like an interview in Rolling Stone. I love the author's writing style. She brings the characters and stories to life! I'm only up to the chapter about their first European tour and can't wait to read more. It's sooooo good!

Full disclosure, I received a promotional advanced copy of this book in return for my honest review. That said, I absolutely love it and highly recommend it. I think you'll love it, too.

Guess who?

Murder mystery is exactly that, a murder mystery. Sandler and Aniston co star in this comedy as a police officer who can't seem to pass his detectives exam and his wife, a hairdresser in need of a break. The couple go on a long awaited retreat but are offered a cruise ride by a rich stranger in place of a tour bus.

After accepting and meeting the other passengers on board, thing's quickly go south when one of them is murdered (see where this is going?) The jokes come in nicely and the couple's banter is fun.

This is the best I've seen Sandler since the ridiculous 6 and Aniston since the bounty hunter.

Those riffs. They are huge (0 more)

The heaviest groove train

It's hard to choose which is the best, Botch: We are the Romans, Dillinger Escape Plan: Calculating Infinity, Converge:Jane Doe or this by Converge. Converge always were incredible from the first release to now the consistency has been superb but this, for me has been their pinicle.
So what do they sound like? Well imagine the grooviest riffs by Zeppelin but infinitely heavier, throw in some jazz timing and some of the most gravelly roars the human throat can muster and this is Coalesce. The sounds are great slabs that smash you across the head. It's just so damn heavy and so damn groovy at the same time. Incredible.

This was quite a light, fluffy read, but it did have it's problems - not just the occasionally Typos! For a 29 year old New Yorker, Emily could be really naive - I could understand she might not know what Black pudding was made from, but not knowing what a full English Breakfast was or the words 'snogging' and 'bloke'? Now really!

There also seemed to be some confussion over the places the tour was visiting - it sounded like Jane Austen's House in Chawton, but then there were other references to Chawton Manor house - which is something different.

Also not sure about driving from Bath to Chesshire for a day visit in the depths of Winter.

OK, but nothing much to write home about overall.
