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…

Spenser Books – by Robert Parker
I am not doing reviews of the Spenser books because they are similar plots and the outcomes are predictable. Despite that, I still am really enjoying them. I have just completed book 16 of 51! I like Spenser, Hawk, and Spenser’s girlfriend, Dr. Susan Silverman. There are also movies and television shows for Spenser and…
The End of Baseball: A Novel – by Peter Schilling Jr.
I have had this book in a paper format for a long time. And, every time I see it looking at me, I pick it up and can only get through the first few pages. I mean, I do want to read it. So, a few weeks ago, I decided to try again, but this…
Mona of the Manor – by Armistead Maupin
When I saw this book as an upcoming release, I immediately threw it in my wishlist and I didn’t care that it was months and month away from being officially published.

I got this book directly from the author as he wanted me to read it and provide feedback before it’s published. It’s the third book in this series. A year ago, he posted in the Goodreads Society Facebook page, if anybody would read one of his books, and share a review on Goodreads, Amazon, and…

The Resort – by Sara Ochs (from Book of the Month)
I got this hardcover book from the Book of the Month club. Yeah, I am first time member and a long time reader of books. I had a few choices from the club, and chose a Thriller. All I had was the description, and I was ready to solve some murders on a resort. The…
The Utterly Uninteresting and Unadventurous Tales of Fred, the Vampire Accountant – by Drew Hayes
A few days ago, I asked my wife what she was reading on her iPad, and this was the book she answered. Normally, not my genre of things I like to read about. But, this one sounded interesting; an accountant who happens to be a vampire. She shared the book with me, and I immediately…
