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.

Darling Girls – by Sally Hepworth
This was my 3rd book in three months from the Book of the Month Club. I will tell you, that my choices are limited as I am predestined for thrillers and memoirs; everything else I can ignore. My only complaint is it seems the club is aimed toward books about females. Where are the manly…
Ma’s in Trouble Again – by David Wilson

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…
The Godwulf Manuscript – by Robert Parker
I have finished all the Jesse Stone and Sunny Randall books by Robert Parker and a few other authors after he passed. Now, I am tackling Spenser, another private investigator like Sunny. The cool thing is, all three are in the same realm so there are returning characters from the Jesse and Sunny series. I…
