The Rock Is Pulling a Dave Bautista

Over the years, Dave Bautista has not been shy about how much he doesn’t want to be mentioned in the same breath as The Rock or John Cena. He freaking hates that. So, Dave’s probably going to be real thrilled when he find out that The Rock has also decided to get weirdly skinny. Obviously, that term is relative because when I say skinny for The Rock, I still mean a man who could easily snap me like a twig. (Page Six)

NatalieH’s review of The Bane Witch by Ava Morgyn is not spoiler free, because she wants to save you the trouble of reading it. “The premise of this book was actually kind of interesting (the synopsis describes it as Practical Magic meets Gone Girl, which was intriguing), but the writing style wasn’t good…and the plot meanders and doesn’t come together satisfactorily.” Have you been disappointed by a book with a great premise? (Cannonball Read 17)
