BOOK REVIEW: Beekeeping for Beginners by Laurie R. King

BOOK REVIEW: Beekeeping for Beginners by Laurie R. King

Posted June 12, 2018 by @amanhimself in Books, Reviews / 10 Comments

Pages: 77, Kindle Edition Published: 2011, Random House I am big fan of Conan Doyle’s writings that include Sherlock Holmes and this year I realised I should try adaptions of same character written by other authors.

This short novella can be called the origin of this new series of adventure. The plot is interesting but the adventure Sherlock Holmes pick up at the age of 54 to save his wealthy orphaned protégée is bit off for me in […]

Jason Surfrapp’s Creativity for Sale: How I Made $1,000,000 Wearing T-Shirts and How You Can Turn Your Passion Into Profit, Too is a one of those few people.

Subtitled as a Japanese story, Richard Brautigan’s Sombrero Fallout is my second reading of the author’s work. It is a unique story, a peculiar one too, with themes that might seem bizarre at first but are actually brought to clarity as the plot moves forward
