I have had this book on my Amazon Wishlist since May 23, 2023, and couldn’t wait for it to be published. I knew of his life as Captain Picard from Star Trek: The Next Generation and Professor X from the X-Men movies. I am not by any means a fan of Star Trek but have…

Robert B. Parker’s Killing the Blues – by Michael Brandman
This is the 10th book in the Jesse Stone series, and the first by Michael Brandman after Robert Parker passed away. That is one of the reasons why I was interested in this series, as a few other authors have continued the series. I wanted to see if I could spot the difference between them,…

Wrecker – by Carl Hiaasen
I have read most (if not all) of his other fiction books and liked them all very much. I have had this one in my Amazon Wishlist since March, and it finally was published a few days ago. And this one didn’t disappoint me at all. The main character goes by Wrecker, he is 15…
12 Months to Live – by James Patterson and Mike Lupica
James Patterson and Mike Lupica co-authored another book earlier this year, and I enjoyed that one. So, when I saw this one, I immediately threw it in my Amazon Wishlist and read it as soon as it was available. I didn’t even care what it was about! Jane Smith is a criminal defense attorney who…
Finding Me- by Viola Davis
I kind of knew who Viola Davis is, but I became more interested in her as she was in some of the Jesse Stone movies I have been watching lately. Man, her life growing up was hard as she witnessed verbal and sexual abuse of herself, her mother, and her sisters. But she persevered and…
Every Other Weekend: Coming of Age with Two Different Dads – by Anthony Mohr
I got this book from Netgalley for free. Every few days, I will browse through the Netgalley selection of free books to see what is available. When I saw this one, I was intrigued as it was about Anthony’s dad (a radio actor) and his stepfather (a businessman) and the very different lives they led…
Stone Cold – by Robert Parker
This is the 4th book in the Jesse Stone series, and one of the main reasons I am reading it is that after Robert Parker passed away, a few other authors have continued the series. There are also movies (which aren’t great, but it keeps me amused) starring Tom Selleck as Jesse Stone and Viola…
Every Shot Counts: A Memoir of Resilience – by Carlos Boozer
I got this book from Netgalley, so I can read and review it before it’s published. Just like the last book I read, Boston Ball, this book was in that same list that somebody compiled about the best upcoming sports books and when I saw it, I immediately was intrigued and threw it in my…
Boston Ball: Rick Pitino, Jim Calhoun, Gary Williams, and the Forgotten Cradle of Basketball Coaches – by Clayton Trutor
I got this book from Netgalley, so I can read and review it before it’s published. I saw this book a few months ago on a list that somebody compiled about the best upcoming sports books and when I saw it, I immediately was intrigued and threw it in my Amazon Wishlist. I use that…
