I belong to several Facebook groups for books, and this author was recommended as a possible series for me to read. Although it’s not my preferred genre, I have really been enjoying fiction police thrillers. I have read all the Alex Cross books, Michael Bennett books, and just finished all the Women’s Murder Club books…
Now that I finished all twenty-five books in the series, what am I supposed to do now? Can I get a table at Susie’s Cafe and wait for Lindsey, Claire, Yuki, and Cindy to arrive? I really enjoyed the series, and each member of the club could easily have their own series of books. I…
I don’t typically read memoirs like this, but I was drawn to Jeremy Renner’s story after hearing about his devastating accident on New Year’s Day 2023. This book is his raw and deeply personal account of that day and the long, painful road to recovery that followed. Renner doesn’t shy away from the trauma—nothing is…
I am fully vested in this series, and have been really enjoying it. I like how Patterson and whomever is helping him write it describes in fantastic detail the action and sometimes it’s pretty graphic. The research for it must be a lot and it makes it sound real. I like that each member, Lindsay,…
Last November, I read two basketball biographies about Abe Saperstein and Red Klotz, and in both, Eddie Gottlieb was mentioned. I was intrigued about Gottlieb and everything he did for the NBA as well as Negro baseball. He played, coached, and owned the Philadelphia SPHAS, one of the best semi professional basketball teams way…
I saw a substack review from allsportsbookreviews.substack.com, and thought I would give it a read. The author, Brad Proteus, got a job with the San Jose Rhinos, a professional roller hockey team. He ended up becoming the GM of the team. He was in his mid 20’s, and this was the mid 90’s. In his…
I have read all the James Patterson Alex Cross and Michael Bennett books and wanted to try this one by him. I have also read all the Jesse Stone and Spenser books by Robert Parker. As you can see, that is a lot of macho men and I was ready for a change and that…
I saw this book as a new release, and although I was halfway interested in it, I scrolled past it and moved on. Then, a few weeks later, Mike Campbell was one of the musicians featured on the FireAid concert in L.A where the proceeds helped the victims of the wildfires. So, that is when…
So, I finished reading all the Michael Bennett books, and enjoyed them. Although, about halfway through, I almost stopped completely because I was tired of reading about bad things happening in New York City. But, I trudged on. Even though, I knew Bennett would solve the cases, how he got there was the whole point…
I got this book from Netgalley so I can read and review it before it’s published. But, that didn’t happen as I tried a few times to read it and just couldn’t get my mindset into it. A few days ago, though, I needed a break from the Michael Bennett books I have been reading…
So far, I am really enjoying this series. I started it on February 11th, and have been reading them pretty quickly. My next question is should I read Patterson’s Private series next or the Women’s Murder Club? I will let you know that I prefer memoirs, but this genre is starting to pull me…
I have read all the Alex Cross books by James Patterson, and was looking for another similar series of books, and I came across Michael Bennett also by James Patterson. Both are cops; Cross in DC and Bennett in NYPD. Bennett and his wife, Maeve, have 10 adopted children. We learn early on that she…
If you’re looking for a history of Microsoft, this isn’t the book you should choose as this is about his childhood, school years, and his passion for programming computers. Yes, there is a little bit about Microsoft and how it got started as well as how Bill met Paul Allen and Steve Ballmer. But, that…
When I saw that a new Jesse Stone book was being published by a new author, I was ready to dive in and didn’t care about who wrote it as in prior books by Parker, all the writers kept the same style. I couldn’t tell the difference. And I have read all the Jesse Stone…
After I finished Nick de Semlyen’s other book called, Wild and Crazy Guys: How the Comedy Mavericks of the ’80s Changed Hollywood Forever, I wanted more so I read this one about: Sylvester Stallone, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Chuck Norris, Jackie Chan, Dolph Lundgren, Steven Seagal, Jean-Claude Van Damme, and Bruce Willis. I got a brief background…
I was book-less for a few days as nothing I had available was appealing. Throughout my book browsing at the library and the Kindle store, I kept seeing this one. Well, I decided to give it a whirl as I like comedy movies! This book is about Bill Murray, Chevy Chase, Steve Martin, Dan Aykroyd,…
I got this book from Netgalley so I can read and review it before it’s published. Sonny Vaccaro is a sports marketing executive who worked for Niko, Adidas, and Reebok. He also was in charge of a quite a few high school basketball all star games. He helped bring Michael Jordan to Niko and Kobe…
I got this book from Netgalley so I can read and review it before it’s published. Being a fan of The Beatles, I knew about Yoko. But, I was intrigued and interested to read her story as told by David Sheff, who is also a close friend of hers. Sheff is the one who got…
I tried this book a few weeks ago, and just couldn’t get into it. But, I tried again this past weekend, and I really enjoyed it. It was a beautifully written story about the love he shared with his brother and the band itself. I had no clue their dad was a musician, the family…
I saw this book as a new release a few weeks ago, and thought I threw it in my Want to Read list on Goodreads for future consumption, but that didn’t happen. Last Wednesday, I was scanning through the Apple Book new releases and saw it and downloaded a sample. The sample was enough for…
