I got this book from NetGalley, so I can read and review it before it’s published. As a music fan, I knew who Carl Perkins was and was interested in learning more about him. Plus, The Beatles covered some of his songs and The Beatles were my favorite band for a very long time. I…
I have been reading this series to Niko, my 8-year-old son, and he absolutely loves them! I won’t spoil anything, but he figured something out in the beginning of the book and he was correct. Sometimes at silly parts (or scenes of chaos), I have to stop and repeat it so he can understand it….
The first Spenser book I read was in January of this year, and I just finished book 28 a few days ago! I am rolling along in his adventures, and am really enjoying them. I don’t care that for the most part, the plots are similar. I am looking forward to book 32 as that…
I needed a break from the fiction thriller books I have been reading, and this one filled that void with a lot of laughs from me. I have read a few books and seen some movies about the National Lampoon, so I knew who Matty Simmons was. If you are a fan of the movie…
I got this one from Netgalley, so I can read and review it before it’s published. I needed a break from the fiction thriller books I have been reading. I had never heard of Kenny Sailors, but was intrigued by the description and wanted to learn more. He was raised by his mother, who taught…
I got a generic email from the Marketing Director saying, based on my previous reviews of celebrity memoirs from Simon & Schuster, I can get this one from Netgalley. I knew of Jaleel White, Urkel and his passion for basketball, but never paid attention to the show Family Matters. Unlike other child actors, Jaleel never…
I got this book from Netgalley, so I can read and review it before it’s published. Every few weeks, I scroll through the books on Netgalley to see if anything new pops out to me; this one did. His mother was never reliable and any money that came in, went out immediately. There was no…
So far, of all the Funjungle books I have read to my 8-year-old son, this was his favorite. He liked the excitement, the adventures, and all the funny things that happened (especially, the wheelchair rumble towards the end)! His favorite phrase was from J.J. McCracken when he said, “Crap on crackers!” Last night, we were…
This was my Book of the Month selection from May. Although I purchased the physical book, I ended up reading it on my Kindle. I actually canceled by BOTM subscription as I wasn’t enjoying the selection of books and genres to choose monthly. So, I have one more BOTM left, and, hopefully, I will read…
This is the 2nd book in the Jane Smith series. You definitely would need to read 12 Months to Live first, as a lot of the characters return for this book. For me, and at times, I was a bit confused with some of them, and found myself going back in the book to refresh…
