February 2018 Round-Up

 

 

I can already tell  a huge difference in how much more I read and update now that I gave up my main site, I still miss it sometimes but overall it is refreshing not to have so many deadlines and always having to post something. Plus I get so much more reading in and I enjoy it so much more now that I don't have to rush through some of them.

I finally started to read The Other Series that I had sitting here for a long time and I'm loving it so far. I actually bingeing them which is something I haven't done in a while :D lol

For March I don't have any real goals yet but we shall see. There are a few books coming out in March that I'm looking forward to.

Obsidio by  Jay Kristoff & Amie KaufmanThe Prophecy by Jennifer L. ArmentroutLake Silence by Anne Bishop and a few more.

I know a lot of people looking forward to 

High Voltage by Karen Marie Moning. I really should catch up on the series I think I'm three books behind now :/  Some day I will catch up to it lol.
 
Anyway here are my February  reads . I will just add the picture with the rating and you can click it for my review if you like and I see how that goes. If I don't like it I might go back to adding more to it :)

Review: I'm a Lebowski, You're a Lebowski: 20th Anniversary by Ben Peskoe, Bill Green, Will Russell, Scott Shuffitt
I'm a Lebowski, You're a Lebowski: 20th Anniversary - Jesse Russell,Bill Green,Ben Peskoe,Scott Shuffitt

On the twentieth anniversary of the Coen brothers' cult classic film, the ultimate fan's guide to The Big Lebowski, with a foreword by the Dude himself, Jeff Bridges, and a new afterword by writer and film critic Daphne Merkin.

 

When it was first released in 1998, The Big Lebowski flopped at the box office. Twenty years later, the movie has developed a massive, passionate, and cross-generational cult following of Lebowski fans (a.k.a. Achievers), who yearly coalesce around Lebowski Fest, the film-screening/party where bowling pins tumble, costumes abound, and White Russians are the official drink of choice--"kind of a 'Star Trek' convention, but without all the geeks"(Associated Press).

 

Written by the Founding Dudes of Lebowski Fest--and with a foreword by El Duderino himself, Jeff Bridges--this new edition of I'm a Lebowski, You're a Lebowski also features contemporary reflections on the movie by acclaimed writer and former New Yorker film critic Daphne Merkin. This is the fan book to tie every Achiever's room together, a treasure trove of trivia and commentary, illustrations, photos, interviews with every major cast member (plus the real-life inspirations for the Coen-created characters), highlights from the Fest, a handy Achiever translation guide, and tips on how to Dude-ify your life. I'm a Lebowski, You're a Lebowski is a raucous and hilarious celebration of the greatest film ever made (condolences, Citizen Kane) and of the glorious revelry that continues in its two-decade wake.

 

 

If you were a fan of the movie then this book is a must read. If you have not watched it, watch it and then come back and read the book. But really either way you should be familiar with the movie.

The book was almost a guide to the movie and it was fun and very enjoyable to read. What can you expect from the book? A lot. Obviously humor and a whole lot more. We get a good look behind the scenes, many pictures of scenes, characters and locations. As well interviews with the cast and crew. Plus some other really fun stuff.

Overall, like I said if you liked the movie you will love this book.

I rate it 5★ it was quick, fun and very informative read.
