"True Hollywood Noir" by Dina Di Mambro was a bit of a waste of time, unfortunately. It was self-published and really could have benefited from some editing, there was a lot of needless repetition. All the information in the book was basically pulled from other books, TV shows, etc. Nothing really new.
"The Walking Dead: the Fall of the Governor Part 2" by Robert Kirkman was pretty good. Better than the show has been lately, sadly. Lilly Caul finds out she is pregnant and is determined to stand by the governor and make Woodbury a safe place. She ignores his ever increasing madness, but by the time Michonne is done with him it's hard to ignore his spiteful vengeance. Lilly covers for him with the rest of the town while he's recuperating, and eventually when Blake is back on his feet he starts planning an attack on the prison with Lilly acting as his right hand girl. Lilly suffers a miscarriage, and is more determined than ever to make the prison pay. The go out there, guns blazing, and some of the survivors escape, but not before Lilly shoots and kills Judith and Lori. When she realizes she's killed a mother and her baby, Lilly turns on the governor and takes him down. She and a small group of Woodbury residents survive and make it back to rebuild and hopefully make Woodbury a better place. I did like it, but that being said between this book and the first one "Fall of the Governor Part 1", seriously both books were way too long and totally unnecessary. Just seemed like they were trying to cash in on the popularity of the show.
"Nicholson" by Marc Eliot is a great bio about a great actor who has definitely lived an interesting life. Eliot pulls no punches in describing all of Jack's faults and bad moments. He has a bit of a snarky humor that made it really fun to read.
