In the Goodreads Society Facebook page, I saw a post from David Wilson asking very nicely if anybody would read one of his books, and post a review on Goodreads, Amazon, and any other platform. I know how hard it is to get people to leave reviews as I am also a published writer, so…

Sideman: In Pursuit of the Next Gig – by Mark Rivera
I saw this book in the Kindle library a few weeks ago, and Mark Rivera was mentioned by name in a prior book I read recently. So, I was a bit intrigued by this Mark fellow. Not me, somebody else named Mark! I didn’t think I would enjoy this book about a saxophone player, but…
The Education of Kendrick Perkins: A Memoir – by Kendrick Perkins
I was a bit disappointed in this book, as I had to skip several parts of the book where it felt like I was being lectured about certain political and cultural things. I also expected to learn more about his time in high school. A few things I enjoyed about it were about his time…
Warrior: My Path to Being Brave – by Lisa Guerrero
When I was browsing through books, and saw that Lisa Guerrero had written an autobiography, I immediately knew I wanted to read it. I knew who she was from her work as a sideline reporter on Monday Night Football and The Best Damn Sports Show Period. I didn’t know that her mom died when she…
Prisoner of X: 20 Years in the Hole at Hustler Magazine – by Alan MacDonnell
This book was mentioned in the Chuck Berry book I recently read, and I am always intrigued by people who are writers and then they write a book about it. I enjoyed reading this book, and he had a lot of interesting stories of Hustler and Larry Flynt.
Chuck Berry: An American Life – by RJ Smith
I will admit and tell you that it took me a few times to get into this book as I couldn’t get past the first few chapters. But I finally decided to skim through them really quick and start from where his parents met. I enjoyed reading about his life, his musical influences, what his…
Uphill: A Memoir – by Jemele Hill
Before Niko was born in 2016, I was a sports fan; not the biggest and flashiest, but a fan in general. I was a frequent viewer of ESPN, and that is how I know who Jemele Hill is. I didn’t know about her controversial Tweets that got her in trouble a few times, I didn’t…
After Happy Ever After – by Adam Fletcher
After the 3rd book ends, Adam and Evelyn make a drastic decision to move to Istanbul for a few months to enjoy the scenery and to test their relationship. Well, this book, tells us what happened, and just like his other “weird travel series”, I really enjoyed this one. With all of his books I…
Tuk-Tuk for Two: Escape to India with two strangers, in the unforgettable race of a lifetime – by Adam Fletcher
This is the 3rd book by Adam Fletcher in his “weird travel series.” And just like the first two, I really enjoyed this one. Yes, I googled an image of a Tuk-Tuk, just to have a better idea of what they were dealing with. So, it is indeed a story of two strangers, and of…
Don’t Come Back: a travel adventure of bad-tempered baboons, black magic, and breakups – by Adam Fletcher
This is the 2nd book in his weird travel series, and just like the 1st, I really enjoyed it. He asks a lot of interesting questions to the locals and engages them in conversations about their particular country. I like his style of writing and am now reading his 3rd book in the series.
