Rachel Reviews: Flappy Investigates by Santa Montefiore
I bought this book for my mum for Christmas and I could tell by the way that she halfheartedly thanked me that it was something which she had already read and something that she had not thoroughly enjoyed. Far be it from me to judge a book by its cover but I did with this one, in my bid to find something that would be well received, and plumping for this because of the tagline on the front: Fabulously fun and gorgeously gossipy.

Audiobook Review: We Sold Our Souls by Grady Hendrix
In the 1990s, heavy metal band Dürt Würk was poised for breakout success -- but then lead singer Terry Hunt embarked on a solo career and rocketed to stardom as Koffin, leaving his fellow bandmates to rot in rural Pennsylvania. Two decades later, former guitarist Kris Pulaski works as the night manager of a Best Western - she's tired, broke, and unhappy. Everything changes when she discovers a shocking secret from her heavy metal past: Turns out that Terry's meteoric rise to success may have come at the price of Kris's very soul. This revelation prompts Kris to hit the road, reunite with the rest of her bandmates, and confront the man who ruined her life. It's a journey that will take her from the Pennsylvania rust belt to a Satanic rehab center and finally to a Las Vegas music festival that's darker than any Mordor Tolkien could imagine. A furious power ballad about never giving up, even in the face of overwhelming odds, We Sold Our Souls is an epic journey into the heart of a conspiracy-crazed, paranoid country that seems to have lost its very soul...where only a girl with a guitar can save us all.

ESFP Nikolai Gogol's DEAD SOULS
Through the gates of the hotel in the gubernatorial city of NN entered a rather beautiful, modest, steel spring-suspended, horse-drawn carriage, in which unmarried men travel: retired lieutenant colonels, staff captains, estate owners possessing approximately a hundred peasant souls -- in short, all of those who are called the gentlemen of the middle class. In the horse-drawn carriage was seated a gentleman, not good-looking, but not bad-looking either, neither too fat, nor too thin; one could not say that he was old, but that's not to say that he was young. His arrival inside the city did not produce any hubbub whatsoever and was not accompanied by anything conspicuous; merely a couple of Russian peasants who stood outside the entrance of the tavern opposite the hotel, and who made some remarks that, incidentally, had more to do with the carriage than the man seated in it.

content warning Playground, I hate to say it, but I enjoyed it. I will be starting off with a content warning. If you have a weak stomach, don't like violence or gore I would highly suggest clicking off this review and maybe liking it because I gave you a warning.
