I belong to several Facebook groups for writers and book reviews, and in one of them, James Baily self-promoted this book. I saved the post so I could not only add it to my Amazon Wishlist, but also so I could reply to him directly. I have corresponded with a few authors. The premise for…

Alcatraz Ghost Story: Roy Gardner’s Amazing Train Robberies, Escapes, and Lifelong Love – by Brian Stannard
I got this book from Netgalley so I can read and review it before its published. I actually kept scrolling past this book on Netgalley, but a few days ago, I stopped and clicked and was intrigued. I have always been a bit fascinated with Alcatraz, and when I took a trip to San Francisco…

Horrorstör – by Grady Hendrix
Somewhere in the Internet world, I saw this book and was half curious about it. I mean, horror isn’t my favorite type of genre to read. So, basically, imagine a store like Ikea, but in the book it’s called Orsk, and everything is a copy of IKEA. Weird names for stuff as well. Somebody, not…
The Woman in Me – by Britney Spears
I am glad I read this one as I had no clue how bad her life was during the 13 years she was in a conservatorship, with her dad as the conservator. Her family took control of everything she did and she did it primarily because she knew if she just agreed, she would see…
Ice: Why I Was Born to Score – by George Gervin
Being a San Antonio Spurs fan, I was very intrigued when I saw that the Iceman had written a book. I bounced it for a while in Amazon WishList, and when it finally won the game, I purchased it and enjoyed all of it from the front row. But I did enjoy reading how he…
Alex Cross Must Die – by James Patterson
So, this is the 32nd book in the Alex Cross series, and even though I enjoyed reading this one, I am finding them to be very similar plots to all the other books. Something happens, and Alex Cross and his partner, James Sampson will eventually solve it. Yeah, the writing keeps me eager to know…
