I started to read his book called The Daddy Diaries: The Year I Grew Up, but I stopped because I wanted to start at the beginning of his life, not at the birth of his kids! I also didn’t know a whole lot about him, so I was eager to learn. I enjoyed reading about…
Pageboy: A Memoir – by Elliot Page
When I saw this book as an upcoming new release a few months ago, I put it on my Amazon Wishlist, so when it comes out, I can read it. And not forget about it! I had no clue how much he struggled with gender dysphoria. I thought everything was fine and dandy. Boy, I…
Game Changer – by Bob Whitsett
This book was provided to me from Netgalley, so I can read and review it before it’s published. I had no clue about this book, until I saw this book on a list provided by @SprtBookReviews. I, immediately, put this book in my Amazon Wishlist, only to know that I would have to wait till…
Cross Down – by James Patterson and Brendan Dubois
This book has been in my Amazon Wishlist for several months, and on the day it got officially released, I was all over it! It only took me two days to finish it. Yes, I have read all the other books in the Alex Cross series, and really enjoyed all of them. Despite the title,…
Reflections On…Books – Part 3
I have really enjoyed reading books, and writing reviews on Netgalley, Amazon, Goodreads, Facebook, and my website. Netgalley allows me to read and review books before they are published. I just need to find a way to better promote them and myself. I seem to always have that problem. How can I get people to…
The Boys of Dunbar: The Story of the Greatest High School Basketball Team – by Alejandro Danois
I don’t remember where I saw this book advertised, but when I clicked on it and read the description, I was totally blown away by the names of the players on that Dunbar High School basketball team. Four of them, I am very familiar with – Reggie Lewis, Reggie Williams, David Wingate, and Muggsy Bogues….
Soundtrack of Silence – by Matt Hay
This book was provided to me from Netgalley, so I can read and review it before it’s published. The only reason I read this book, was because I liked the title (a very nice playlist of verses of songs was mentioned throughout the book). I really want that playlist! So, basically, Matt is losing his…
I Sang That: A Memoir from Hollywood – by Sally Stevens
I had no clue who Sally Stevens was, as I only read this book because of the title and description. I enjoyed her stories of being a singer with Nat King Cole and Burt Bacharach, just to name a few stars that she sang and toured with. In addition, she led her voice on the…
Lucky Me: A Memoir of Changing the Odds – by Rich Paul
This book was provided to me from Netgalley, so I can read and review it before it’s published. A few weeks ago, I read a biography of LeBron James, and that is where I first heard the name of Rich Paul. He was an associate of LeBron and was in his very small circle of…
Tell It Like It Is: My Story – by Aaron Neville
This book was provided to me from Netgalley, so I can read and review it before it’s published. Man, I had no idea of the troubles Aaron Neville got into throughout his life. I always pictured him as a clean dude who was always singing with his family. But I am glad he persevered, because…
