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…
Listen for the Lie – by Amy Tintera

Elvis and Me: The True Story of the Love Between Priscilla Presley and the King of Rock N’ Roll – by Priscilla Beaulieu Presley
I was scrolling through the autobiographies at the library, and this one popped up and I was intrigued. I know they got married, and had a daughter in Lisa Marie. I also have a book on my wishlist co-written by Lisa Marie and her daughter, Riley Keough. Riley had to finish it after Lisa Marie…
A Good Bad Boy: Luke Perry and How a Generation Grew Up – by Margaret Wappler
When I saw this book as an upcoming release a few months ago, I was intrigued and threw it in my Amazon wishlist, so I could purchase it later. A few days ago, I saw it was on Netgalley, and I requested it and they approved it. I enjoy getting books from them as I…
It’s Hard for Me to Live with Me: A Memoir – by Rex Chapman
I knew Rex Chapman as an NBA player, but I had no clue about his dad being a basketball coach, his playing days at Kentucky, and his addiction to pain medications and gambling on horses. He started his NBA playing days with the expansion franchise, the Charlotte Hornets. Also on that team was Del Curry,…
The Resort – by Sara Ochs (from Book of the Month)

The Utterly Uninteresting and Unadventurous Tales of Fred, the Vampire Accountant – by Drew Hayes
A few days ago, I asked my wife what she was reading on her iPad, and this was the book she answered. Normally, not my genre of things I like to read about. But, this one sounded interesting; an accountant who happens to be a vampire. She shared the book with me, and I immediately…
My Mama, Cass: A Memoir – by Owen Elliot-Kugell
I got this book from Netgalley so I can read and review it before it’s published. You can definitely call me stupid for not knowing that Cass Elliot had a daughter. And, when I saw this book written by her, I was immediately intrigued. Being a fan of 1960’s music, I definitely know the Mamas…
The Other Fab Four: The Remarkable True Story of the Liverbirds, Britain’s First Female Rock Band – by Mary McGlory and Sylvia Saunders
I got this book from Netgalley so I can read and review it before it’s published. Had I not gotten a promotional email from the publishing company on February 8th, I doubt I would’ve been interested in this book. So, good job to the marketing team for a getting my attention. Even though I know…
