This is the second book in the Jesse Stone book series, and I am so glad there are more books and even movies starring Tom Selleck. Stone and his team have to solve another crime but this one includes a group of people who take hostages and one of the members of the group ends…

Night Passage – by Robert Parker
This is the first book of the Jesse Stone series, and I was intrigued by the fact that Mike Lupica, a James Patterson coauthor and author on his front, has written some of the later Jesse Stone books. So, I decided to read the first book and, I really enjoyed it. I was kept in…
Unstoppable: A Story of Love, Faith, and the Power Couple Who Ignited the College Sports Broadcasting Boom – by George Hirthler
I got this book from Netgalley, so I can read and review it before it’s published. Sometimes I choose books purely on the title and the description, and this was one of them. I had no who this power couple was, but I was interested to learn more. Rick was a great television programmer and…
Lion & Lamb – by James Patterson and Duane Swierczynski
Just like all the Alex Cross books I have read by James Patterson, this one had me hooked immediately and kept me in suspense throughout the whole book. This is only the 2nd book I have read by him that is coauthored with somebody else. The first was Mike Lupica and they have another book…
Living the Beatles Legend: The Untold Story of Mal Evans – by Kenneth Womack
This book was provided to me from Netgalley, so I can read and review it before it’s published. Before I begin my review, let me quickly say that The Beatles are my favorite band. When I was 13 years old, I purchased The Beatles complete collections of CDs. I eventually added a little bit of…
Ride Free: A Memoir – by Willie G Davidson
Unlike the autobiography I read about Billy Busch, from the Anheuser-Busch company, where for most of the book, he discussed his fairy tale life growing up, Willie Davidson from the Harley-Davidson company didn’t do that. Willie discussed in really good details his passion for art and motorcycles. Even though, I am not a motorcycle enthusiast,…

He primarily focuses on Magic Johnson and the Los Angeles Lakers, Michael Jordan and the Chicago Bulls, Isiah Thomas and the Detroit Pistons, and Larry Bird and the…
The Mutt For Me – by Don Hughes
This book was provided to me from Netgalley, so I can read and review it before it’s published. Even though I did read it, I didn’t enjoy it. It was just a quick story of Don and a dog he adopted named Barbie from the local shelter. Don was a volunteer there and had helped…
The Blues Brothers: An Epic Friendship, the Rise of Improv, and the Making of an American Film Classic – by Daniel de Vise
This book was provided to me from Netgalley, so I can read and review it before it’s published. It’s not one of my favorite movies, although, I did love the music and the comedy of Dan Aykroyd and John Belushi, and a few lines are embedded in my brain. I don’t remember the first time…
Family Reins: The Extraordinary Rise and Epic Fall of an American Dynasty – by Billy Busch
I didn’t know anything about the Busch family or the history of the Anheuser-Busch company, until I read this book. The title is spot on, as Billy tells the story how the company got started and then the fall when it got brought by another company. I also didn’t know that the company tried and…
