Book Review: Regina Jennings’ “For The Record”

Posted on February 6, 2017 by Btscelebs

reginajennings

You can’t judge a man by his hooded mask!

Author Regina Jennings put a unique spin on crime and criminals in her latest book “For The Record”.  Deputy Joel Puckett and Betsy Huckabee’s budding love story pales in comparison to the unexplained violence plaguing the small town of Pine Gap.

After fleeing Texas, Deputy Joel is determined to start a new life as a lawman without the alleged “womanzier” stigma following him everywhere he goes. Not only does he quickly get mixed up with young, fiction writer Betsy; his new neighbors (who ride around in hooded masks to fight crime) despise him! Domestic violence, arson and attempted murder all seem to fall into the deputy’s lap before he can earn the townspeople trust and respect. To top it all off, Betsy’s romantic fiction columns are bringing his dark past back to life.

“For The Record” was an interesting read, but there is so much more to the story than what the synopsis outlines. Its more about community and not being quick to judge others. With that being said, give this book the benefit of the doubt and discover all it has to offer.

They’re back!

It’s been almost two years since Kurt’s dream team has performed a duet on his YouTube channel. March 5th, 2015 was the last time MAX and Alyson covered a hit song together. Since then, they have continued their entertainment careers, MAX got married, and both of them sang alongside other stars.

It’s great to see the former Nickelodeon actor and Disney star join forces once again. Check out their nostalgic cover of a popular Backstreet Boys song below:

Even though I’m allergic to Butterfingers, great job on the classic song, guys!

Atlanta and New England represent!

On February 5th,  Superbowl 51 kicks off in Houston’s NRG Stadium. The Falcons and Patriots beat their opponents today fair and square for a shot at football glory next month. Falcons won 44 to 21 against the Packers, while the Patriots scored 36 to the Steelers 16 in the end.

I wish it was the Bears, but I’m excited to see these two fight for the title! May the best team win!

The next book on BTSCelebs‘ reading list is Regina Jennings’ “For The Record”. I’m currently on chapter 24 of the historical fiction tale about a lady secretly writing stories about the new deputy in town. Even though it’s interesting to read about the tales she creates for her columns, the book is mostly about life in Pine Gap.

Stay tuned for the complete review soon!

Xander is making everyone hungry!

K-Poppin‘s “To Be Honest” co-host  is already enjoying good eats in 2017. Even though he dined alone, Alexander didn’t let that stop him from having a ball with his fandom. The singer and actor recently shared photos of his appetizing meals via Instagram.

Check out his snapshots and captions below:

“Spinach fettuccine with beef.🍴This is how live-alone men eat.🙄 Ain’t nobody got time for plating. It looks bad but well it’s yummy.☺️ I always accidentally cook too much… Wanna join me? #Xander #DiningAlone #SpinachFettuccine #beef #CantLiveWithoutMeet”

alexandereusebio2

“Having dinner alone in one of my favorite places with good memories.😊 When I first came to Korea, being a collective society, people here used to think that it’s weird of me to eat alone. But recently ‘eating/drinking alone’ has become common in Korea due to the changing society. Now I won’t be a weirdo anymore~😌 Bon appetit! #Xander #ButterfingerPancakes #DiningAlone #habit #ImNotAlone #ImWithMyself #WhyIsMyselfSoHot”
