I wouldn’t have known who Eddie Floyd was had it not been for my 7 year old son. Let me quickly explain… He likes music as much as I do and somehow, he ended up with a song called Big Bird by Eddie Floyd in his library. He likes the instruments and the song itself….
Mona of the Manor – by Armistead Maupin
When I saw this book as an upcoming release, I immediately threw it in my wishlist and I didn’t care that it was months and month away from being officially published. I had already read the previous 9 books from this series and enjoyed them, especially all the characters. They had diverse backgrounds and sexual…
Darling Girls – by Sally Hepworth
This was my 3rd book in three months from the Book of the Month Club. I will tell you, that my choices are limited as I am predestined for thrillers and memoirs; everything else I can ignore. My only complaint is it seems the club is aimed toward books about females. Where are the manly…

What a Fool Believes: A Memoir – by Michael McDonald with Paul Reiser
I got this book from Netgalley, so I can read and review it before it’s published. I knew who he was, and then had to check on Paul Reiser to make sure it was the comedian or somebody else with the same name. Yep, the comedian. Ok, so a pretty nifty combination. I am in…
Ma’s in Trouble Again – by David Wilson
I got this book directly from the author as he wanted me to read it and provide feedback before it’s published. It’s the third book in this series. A year ago, he posted in the Goodreads Society Facebook page, if anybody would read one of his books, and share a review on Goodreads, Amazon, and…
The Punk-Rock Queen of the Jews: A Memoir – by Chef Rossi
I got this book from Netgalley so I could read and review it before it’s published. I will admit and tell you the only reason I was interested in this book was because of the title. So, basically, I went in blind and I came out in color and already have another book of hers…
