Review: Big Bang Theory

 

I'm such a fan of the show, so when I saw this book coming out, I placed a hold immediately. 

And it's quite a long book, but also fascinating. The format is one long interview with various stars, guest starts, cast and crew joining in.

Readers will:

Learn secrets from the show (casting was juicy)

The reasoning behind some of the choices

Get a glimpse at the behind the scenes

Want to watch the show all over again

Mysterious Saturday Review: Deadly Heat

* Book #5 in the Nikki Heat Series *

Nikki Heat found a breakthrough in her mother's case; a secret code that she's told no one about. Soon, she confides in Rook. Together, they dig deeper. 

Unfortunately, another article about Nikki has hit the internet. She's attracted the attention of a serial killer. He's leaving bodies all over town with clues to his next victim.

Nikki's scrambling to work both cases - but her boss only wants her focusing on the Rainbow Killer. Nikki's not about to give up her mother's case. She juggles them both. Only the serial killer's getting too close. He wants to play a game, but in his mind she ends up dead in that game.

Can Nikki close out the case before it's too late?

My Thoughts: I love the tie in books with Castle. As a big fan of the show, I like seeing it extended beyond the show and finding similarities between them. I like the story-line of Nikki Heat's mother and how it becomes the backdrop of the books, in addition to the murders happening in New York City. I like seeing Heat in her element at the precinct. I like watching her bounce ideas off her team and her debriefings.  I like the mystery of the serial killer and seeing him try to outwit Heat. A great installment to a fun, fast-paced mystery.

Cover Thoughts: I like it.

Review: World of Downton Abbey

A look at both the secret history and the behind-the-scenes drama of one of my favorite shows.

The chapters include: Family Life, Society, Change, Life in Service, Style, House to Estate, Romance, War, and Behind the Scenes.


My Thoughts: I LOVED this book. I devoured it. I loved the history. I loved the behind the scenes information - the secrets from the sets. I loved the gorgeous photographs both from the set and from the show. I can't wait for more of this show. It's the perfect way to spend time with your favorite characters while awaiting the return of the show.


Note: This book does talk about the show through the end of Season Two.


Cover Thoughts: Wonderful
