Somewhere in the Internet world, I saw this book and was half curious about it. I mean, horror isn’t my favorite type of genre to read. So, basically, imagine a store like Ikea, but in the book it’s called Orsk, and everything is a copy of IKEA. Weird names for stuff as well. Somebody, not…

The Woman in Me – by Britney Spears
I am glad I read this one as I had no clue how bad her life was during the 13 years she was in a conservatorship, with her dad as the conservator. Her family took control of everything she did and she did it primarily because she knew if she just agreed, she would see…
Ice: Why I Was Born to Score – by George Gervin
Being a San Antonio Spurs fan, I was very intrigued when I saw that the Iceman had written a book. I bounced it for a while in Amazon WishList, and when it finally won the game, I purchased it and enjoyed all of it from the front row. But I did enjoy reading how he…

So, this is the 32nd book in the Alex Cross series, and even though I enjoyed reading this one, I am finding them to be very similar plots to all the other books. Something happens, and Alex Cross and his partner, James Sampson will eventually solve it. Yeah, the writing keeps me eager to know…

Thank You (Falettinme Be Mice Elf Agin): A Memoir – by Sly Stone
Being a fan of 1960’s music, I was really interested to read Sly Stone’s autobiography. I did enjoy learning about how he became a musician and the stories behind the big hits. It’s also nice that I can ask Alexa to play a song after I read about it as I did that for his…
Robert B. Parker’s Blind Spot – by Reed Farrel Coleman
This is the 13th book in the Jesse Stone series, and the first by Reed Farrel Coleman. This one explores Jesse Stone’s baseball playing days and how one of his teammates ends up being a suspect in a murder case. Unlike all the other books, this one or maybe it’s Reed’s style, is a bite…

I wouldn’t call Airplane! my favorite comedy movie of all time, but it does rank in my top 10! Please don’t ask for this list now as I would really have to think about it. Ok, now I am thinking about it so here it goes: Animal House, Coming to America, Caddyshack, National Lampoon Vacation…
