Thank you to Sam Staggs, the publisher, and NetGalley for providing me with an ARC of "Finding Zsa Zsa".

I was excited to read this book to find out more about the Gabors. However, for me, I felt like was reading the Enquirer, instead of biography. I felt that the biography went all over the place and did not have a focus on how to depict the history of the Gabors. Ultimately, I skipped to the end and did not completely finish the book. I may come back to it later as I am still interested in the Gabors.

Thank you to Wendy Walker, the publisher, and NetGalley for providing me with an ARC of "The Night Before".

I was excited to read this book based on the synopsis. However, it was just okay for me. The premise was set-up well. The main character, Laura, returns to her hometown to live with her sister, Rosie and Rosie's husband, Joe. You learn that Laura, Rosie, Joe, and Gabe were childhood friends. You discover that Laura had anger issues and was a possible suspect to a murder of her first high school love. Laura goes out on a blind date with a man that she find through an dating website. She does not return home. The search is on for Rosie, Joe, and Gabe to find out what happened to Laura and who this mystery man was. Overall, I think many people will enjoy this book due to a few twists.. I felt that the story was slow in quite a few places.

Reading a book about a landmark was definitely out of my comfort zone. However, I was intrigued to learn the history about the Plaza Hotel from the beginning till the present. I have seen the Plaza Hotel many times but have never entered the building.

I think the different stories included about residents and the multiple owners (including Donald Trump) was fascinating. I would recommend this book to others who are curious to know how a landmark became to be an integral part of New York City.
