I have had this book in my Want To Read list on Goodreads since January of this year. I was really looking forward to this one, and when I finished it, it was MEH. Nothing excited happened to Sunny. It could just be I am so used to Spenser as a private investigator, and lots…

The Last Manager: How Earl Weaver Tricked, Tormented, and Reinvented Baseball – by John W. Miller
I got this book from Netgalley, so I can read and review it before it’s published. As I occasionally browse the Netgalley selections, I kept coming across this one, and I was intrigued, but kept scrolling past it. I mean, I knew of Earl Weaver, but didn’t want to be a part of a book…
Carl Perkins: The King of Rockabilly – by Jeff Apter
I got this book from NetGalley, so I can read and review it before it’s published. As a music fan, I knew who Carl Perkins was and was interested in learning more about him. Plus, The Beatles covered some of his songs and The Beatles were my favorite band for a very long time. I…
Spenser – Books, Movies, and Television
The first Spenser book I read was in January of this year, and I just finished book 28 a few days ago! I am rolling along in his adventures, and am really enjoying them. I don’t care that for the most part, the plots are similar. I am looking forward to book 32 as that…
Fat, Drunk, & Stupid: The Inside Story Behind the Making of Animal House – by Matty Simmons
I needed a break from the fiction thriller books I have been reading, and this one filled that void with a lot of laughs from me. I have read a few books and seen some movies about the National Lampoon, so I knew who Matty Simmons was. If you are a fan of the movie…
Beyond the Jump Shot: The Elevated Life of Kenny Sailors – by Debbie Sorensen
I got this one from Netgalley, so I can read and review it before it’s published. I needed a break from the fiction thriller books I have been reading. I had never heard of Kenny Sailors, but was intrigued by the description and wanted to learn more. He was raised by his mother, who taught…
Growing Up Urkel – by Jaleel White
I got a generic email from the Marketing Director saying, based on my previous reviews of celebrity memoirs from Simon & Schuster, I can get this one from Netgalley. I knew of Jaleel White, Urkel and his passion for basketball, but never paid attention to the show Family Matters. Unlike other child actors, Jaleel never…
Hotel Goodbyes – by Stephen Jon Thompson
I got this book from Netgalley, so I can read and review it before it’s published. Every few weeks, I scroll through the books on Netgalley to see if anything new pops out to me; this one did. His mother was never reliable and any money that came in, went out immediately. There was no…
Middletide – by Sara Crouch
This was my Book of the Month selection from May. Although I purchased the physical book, I ended up reading it on my Kindle. I actually canceled by BOTM subscription as I wasn’t enjoying the selection of books and genres to choose monthly. So, I have one more BOTM left, and, hopefully, I will read…
Hard to Kill (Jane Smith, #2) – by James Patterson and Mike Lupica
This is the 2nd book in the Jane Smith series. You definitely would need to read 12 Months to Live first, as a lot of the characters return for this book. For me, and at times, I was a bit confused with some of them, and found myself going back in the book to refresh…
