This book was provided to me from Netgalley, so I can read and review it before it’s published. I was only interested in this book, because I read that Dave Kindred was a retired former sportswriter, who moved back home and then decided to write about a local high school girls basketball team. That really…

Swamp Story – by Dave Barry
I have read most of the fiction works by Dave Barry, and really enjoyed the humor and characters in all of them. So, when I saw this an upcoming release, I didn’t even read the description. I threw it in my Wishlist so I could read it when it came out. This was one fantastic,…
The Tastemaker: My Life with the Legends and Geniuses of Rock Music – by Tony King
I saw this book as an advertisement on my Kindle, and when I read the description and the names of Elton John, John Lennon, the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, Freddie Mercury, and more, I was intrigued and instantly purchased it. A lot of the autobiographies/biographies books I have this year have been either been sports…
Uncle of the Year: And Other Debatable Triumphs – by Andrew Rannells
This book was provided to me from Netgalley, so I can read and review it before it’s published. I did read his first book, Too Much Is Not Enough, and really enjoyed it. And this new one, didn’t disappoint me at all. I enjoyed reading more about him and like the fact that he is…
Don’t Tell Anybody the Secrets I Told You: A Memoir – by Lucinda Williams
When I saw this book as an upcoming release a few weeks ago, I immediately threw it in my Amazon Wishlist (I use it to keep track of books I want to read). I do have a few of her songs on my iPhone playlist. One of them is called Are You Alright, and one…
LeBron – by Jeff Benedict
When I saw this book about LeBron James, I was immediately intrigued. I did have to stop reading it a few times as I had other books to read, but when I finally finished it, I was glad I read it and learned a lot more about him than I knew previously. It was he…
Tell Me Everything: A Memoir – by Minka Kelly
This book was provided to me by Netgalley, so I can read and review it before it’s published. The only reason I read this book is because I loved her character, Lila Garrity, on Friday Night Lights! But unfortunately, she doesn’t talk much about that show. I am pretty sure that she has a lot…
Bingo!: Forty Years in the NBA – by Ralph Lawler
I kept seeing this book in the Amazon library and was interested in reading it, but I always had another book I was reading until now. And, when I finished, I was glad because so far, it has been the best book I have read this year. First, let me tell you that I am…
Top Billin’: Stories of Laughter, Lessons, and Triumph – by Bill Bellamy
This book was provided to me by Netgalley, so I can read and review it before it’s published. Of all the books I have read this year, and reviewed, this will be the first where one I read, but I didn’t like it. I was expecting a lot more stories of him being a comedian…
Opposable Thumbs: How Siskel & Ebert Changed Movies Forever – by Matt Singer
This book was provided to me from Netgalley so I can read and read it before it’s published. The only thing I knew about Siskel and Ebert, is they had a television show about movies, because I watched it occasionally when I was younger. Where I live, we had two movie critics, Larry Ratliff and…
