Tome Thursday: Clanlands

 
Hello everyone!
 
So before I bid adieu to Scotland entirely for some time (because naturally I could never do it forever!) I wanted to touch base with a book that I think might be one of the funniest I've read in a while.
 
And also educational considering it teaches you a lot of useful little tidbits about the country, too.
 
Plus, I mean, it's written by Sam Heughan and Graham McTavish. Need I say more?
 
If you thought Men in Kilts was something to laugh at and something to enjoy, you're going to LOVE this adventure into writing that the two of them went through together, because there is nothing funnier than reading about the by-play these two men have with one another just on a general kind of basis, not even on screen.
 
Yes, the show was scripted and filmed, and you learn more about that in this particular book, but we all knew that! It's no secret.
 
The secret is how these two didn't end up mortal enemies, or more specifically, how Graham didn't murder Sam along the way.
 
So kilt up one more time - a quick look at Clanlands is up next.

Tome Thursday: Troublemaker

 
Hello everyone!
 
I hope you're having an amazing week so far. I'm over here trying to figure out exactly why I suddenly had a nightmare about waking up late for school, when I haven't been to school in YEARS.
 
No, seriously, the years bit isn't a joke! LOL
 
But anyway, after picking and choosing books for Booktober, I figured that a simple Thursday post would work best really, and that was how I picked tonight's topic.
 
This was the last book I read prior to the beginning of October and my book extravaganza and I kind of wanted to do a blog post on the theme to begin with though never got so far at the time. Now though, nothing's stopping me as I'm well and truly back to the old ways!
 
Weird dreams aside, I'm pretty sure this book is one of the best things to come out of Hollywood in a long, long time, and again this is no joke.
 
Hollywood used to be this glitzy, glamorous place everyone wanted to be, but the more we learn about it in recent years, the less we ACTUALLY want that.
 
Reading Leah Remini's Troublemaker: How I survived Hollywood and Scientology book gives you one more reason to tip the scale.
