This book was provided to me from Netgalley, so I can read and review it before it’s published. My parents would often play the local oldies station in the car, and that is where my love of the 60’s music started for me. When I turned 13 in 1990, I purchased The Beatles box set…

Mise en Place: Memoir of a Girl Chef – by Marisa Mangani
Sometimes, I read a book where I know nothing of the author, and the description appeals to me. I am very glad that Amazon allows free samples of books and I do take full advantage of that. If I like the book, I buy it. If not, hey, I tried, and it wasn’t for me;…
Most Talkative: Stories from the Front Lines of Pop Culture – by Andy Cohen
I started to read his book called The Daddy Diaries: The Year I Grew Up, but I stopped because I wanted to start at the beginning of his life, not at the birth of his kids! I also didn’t know a whole lot about him, so I was eager to learn. I enjoyed reading about…
Pageboy: A Memoir – by Elliot Page
When I saw this book as an upcoming new release a few months ago, I put it on my Amazon Wishlist, so when it comes out, I can read it. And not forget about it! I had no clue how much he struggled with gender dysphoria. I thought everything was fine and dandy. Boy, I…
Game Changer – by Bob Whitsett
This book was provided to me from Netgalley, so I can read and review it before it’s published. I had no clue about this book, until I saw this book on a list provided by @SprtBookReviews. I, immediately, put this book in my Amazon Wishlist, only to know that I would have to wait till…
Cross Down – by James Patterson and Brendan Dubois
This book has been in my Amazon Wishlist for several months, and on the day it got officially released, I was all over it! It only took me two days to finish it. Yes, I have read all the other books in the Alex Cross series, and really enjoyed all of them. Despite the title,…
Reflections On…Books – Part 3
I have really enjoyed reading books, and writing reviews on Netgalley, Amazon, Goodreads, Facebook, and my website. Netgalley allows me to read and review books before they are published. I just need to find a way to better promote them and myself. I seem to always have that problem. How can I get people to…
The Boys of Dunbar: The Story of the Greatest High School Basketball Team – by Alejandro Danois
I don’t remember where I saw this book advertised, but when I clicked on it and read the description, I was totally blown away by the names of the players on that Dunbar High School basketball team. Four of them, I am very familiar with – Reggie Lewis, Reggie Williams, David Wingate, and Muggsy Bogues….
Soundtrack of Silence – by Matt Hay
This book was provided to me from Netgalley, so I can read and review it before it’s published. The only reason I read this book, was because I liked the title (a very nice playlist of verses of songs was mentioned throughout the book). I really want that playlist! So, basically, Matt is losing his…
I Sang That: A Memoir from Hollywood – by Sally Stevens
I had no clue who Sally Stevens was, as I only read this book because of the title and description. I enjoyed her stories of being a singer with Nat King Cole and Burt Bacharach, just to name a few stars that she sang and toured with. In addition, she led her voice on the…
