Book Review: Long Knives

As you know if you have been following my blog for a while I created a set of New Years Resolutions that I have been trying my hardest to stick to, and one of them was to read at least one book each month. Now this has been really easy for me to do and I have generally been reading more than one book a month (because I LOVE my Kindle!). Anywhoo, since I am devouring all these books which are all great, I wanted to start reviewing them on my blog so that I could share them with you.

So one of the books that I have read recently is called Long Knives by Charles Rosenberg.

To be entirely honest I was not sure what I was going to think about this book when I first got it. Just so you know I got it free through Amazon First, which is where all Amazon prime users get one free kindle book a month before it is officially released. Awesome right? I'm glad that I found out about it because I have gotten some pretty awesome book for free because of this so if you have Amazon prime you can already do this!

Moving on to the actual book...

Okay so it is a murder mystery/ legal thriller (as it says on the cover). The book is about a law professor who teaches Nautical Law (cool right?) named Jenna. The book starts out with a student in one of her classes that says he has a treasure map for her too look at. Then after a few unfortunate events, the book quickly professes to a great whoodunit finish. 

Overall it was a fantastic book and I just flew through reading because it was so easy to get sucked into the characters world. Also a fun fact about the author of the book, he is an actual practicing attorney. So the legal jargon within the book is incredibly accurate, but not in a way that makes it boring to read. 

It's only $5 on Amazon for the Kindle edition (which really isn't that expensive for a good book). The link is under the picture of the book cover if you wanna check it out, but I am not being compensated for this post in any way. I just wanted to share a fantastic book find with all of y'all!

Netflix Movie Review: Sassy Pants

Hey guys! So today I want to tell you about this little gem of a movie that I found on Netflix. It's a little movie called Sassy Pants. I had never heard of this movie before finding it on Netflix, but it came out in 2012, so it's not an old movie by any means.

As you can see from the movie poster here, it has some pretty good actors/ actresses in it. Like Anna Gunn, which most of you probably know as Skyler from a little show called Breaking Bad. Then also the lead of this movie Ashley Rickards, has been in a few things such as MTV's Awkward, One Tree Hill, and American Horror Story.

So on to the actual movie itself, its a witty charming comedy, with a little bit of drama and a lot of teenage angst. It's about a girl, Bethany, who has been raised and homeschooled by her mother. She has a moment and rebels against her mother and then the rest of the movie shows her journey of her trying to achieve her dreams, while spending quite a bit of time with her gay father and his hilarious boyfriend.

Overall, it was a great movie but probably not necessarily one of those that you watch more than once. But if you are looking for something that is funny with some great actors this is a good choice. It would be great for a girls night in, but I wouldn't recommend it for younger children because of some of the content. If you get a chance you should definitely check this one out!
