This book provided a lot of great insight on her Russian imprisonment and how she got through it. I am not going to go into detail, but she had lawyers who were constantly in touch and working on stuff behind the scenes and fellow inmates who helped translate Russian to English. She got to read…
I got this book from Netgalley, so I can read and review it before it’s published. The only reason I selected this book was due to the cover image (he was dressed half in a basketball jersey and the other half was a business suit) and the description (he played college basketball where his Kentucky…
I got this book from Netgalley so I can read and review it before it’s published. For somebody, like me, who isn’t a fan of soccer clubs in England and in general, this book was easy to read, and I never found myself confused with the verbiage. It’s really cool to see the progression of…
This book has been in my Goodreads Want To Read bookshelf since February. For a Seinfeld fan like me, I really enjoyed learning more about how he got the role of Kessler/Kramer, all the extra insights from a lot of the episodes, his comedic opportunities and miss-opportunities, and his family. I didn’t care for his…
I got this book from Netgalley so I can read and review it before it’s published. I enjoyed the parts of his basketball days (in Lagos, Nigeria and Houston; both for college and the NBA), but I skipped some parts about his religious beliefs as I just wasn’t interested in that aspect. Overall, I am…
This is the 2nd book in the Teddy Fitzroy Funjungle series, and I just finished reading it to my 8-year-old son this morning. I really enjoy reading to him, and he understands everything and sometimes we have to stop to discuss what just happened. Last night, he told me to stop reading because he had…
I had this one in my TBR pile for a while, and I downloaded a sample when it came out, but I just couldn’t get into to. But, last weekend, at the local library, they had this book available, and I decided to try it again. Well, I am glad I did, because I enjoyed…
When I saw this book as an upcoming release, I was excited to learn more about him. All I knew him from was Home Alone and City Slickers. I actually read a free sample from Amazon on my Kindle, and then found the book at my local library. So, I had no clue he was…
Sometimes, I find myself going down a rabbit hole of similar books. I just read books about Stuckey’s and Howard Johnson’s, and now I just finished this one about the founder of Dunkin’ Donuts. I enjoyed learning about his background and all of his jobs. He was driven to be successful, and surrounded himself with…
This was actually an interesting book, as I learned a lot about the Howard Johnson legacy. Not only did this book dive into a wonderful history of the company, but also about perfection as everything that was done had to be performed a certain way. I, for one, had no clue it got started as…
