After all of the wonderful excerpts coming from this book, I feel like I must read this. It got Trump so heated.

The Disaster Artist by Greg Sestero and Tom Bissell
On a bit of a book binge lately and I'm looking forward to jumping straight into my next book. I've chosen The Disaster Artist by Greg Sestero and Tom Bissell. If the title sounds familiar, it's because there's a major motion picture coming out with the same title which is very much based on this book.
The book is a tell-all tale about the making of The Room, a film that is widely considered to be the worst movie ever made.
I'm a good portion through with it already and so far it's very funny and weird.
Brene Brown - Braving The Wilderness
I surprised myself this week by finishing this book in one day. I can't remember the last time I was so fully engulfed in the topic of a book that I just blazed right through it. Maybe it was in elementary school when I was still reading Goosebumps?
Anyway, the author, Brene Brown, is the same person who wrote Daring Greatly, a book that I have not read, but one that I have heard come out of people's mouths many times. Not sure why I never took those recommendations before.
City of Darkness - Life in Kowloon Walled City (JAPANESE PHOTO BOOK)
So, two things:
- Look at this high-res book cover image for this Japanese photo book of Kowloon Walled City (click image above).
- I had no idea that you could still buy this book. Apparently it's about $50, as long as you can stand super duper long shipping times.
Buy it here! Buy it for me for Thanksgiving!
Off To Be The Wizard
I cannot even remember when I started this book. It had to be this year I think. But unlike the past 2 years, I have not kept up with my book-a-month pledge. This year has been more like 3 books-a-year which kind of makes me sad because I really do enjoy reading. But so much of my time spent reading this year has been outside of books -- more online articles and more shocking news from the Trump administration.
And after some time, I've finally jumped back in. In an act of desperation to save myself, I managed to finish this book in record time -- 2 days. It was wonderful, funny, and imaginative with the tiniest hint of geekery (wording?).
If you want a good escape from this worldly mess, I'd recommend this title.
