By Mackenzie Phillips
Read 7/10/16
This is the autobiography of child TV star Mackenzie Phillips. She is daughter of rock start John Phillips of Mamas and the Papas and such had a wild childhood filled with heavy drug use and almost no parental guidance. No surprise as an adult her life spiraled out of control filled with drugs, failed relationships and getting fired from lucrative jobs. The book is terribly disturbing and highlights the idea the money does not bring happiness. In the end she is clean, but you wonder what toll this life style has taken on her body.

Story of a therapist who met a very wealthy married man and started an affair with him. At his urging she quit her job, this went find until his wife found out and he broke off their relationship... and along with it all her financial support. Left with out a job and a mortgage to pay she decided to look for a sugar daddy who would pay her bills in exchange for sex.. the girlfriend experience. The book is about her quest to find this person. She tries out a few people and has reservations about each one, and had problems finding someone who wants to do this long term. In the middle of this she spends a lot of time exploring her feelings on this, and what marriage and monogamy means to society. Her journals of this adventure became the book.
The book was fair, it was a lot of self exploration and a lot of detail about how she dressed and what food she bought for her dates.
(1) Tutankhamun The Book of Shadows
By Nick Drake
Read March 20, 2016
This is a mystery set in ancient Egypt. There are several brutal murders and it seems it may be a plot to destabilize the current King Tutankamum. The investigator works the case and also works with the royal family.
Not a bad novel, a lot of detail of ancient times, and seems historicaly accurate from what I have read about this era. I would give this a 7.5/10
