After I read James Patterson by James Patterson, I became a fan and devoured all the Alex Cross, Women’s Murder Club, and Michael Bennett books. So, yeah Alex Cross was my first. Back in 2022, is when I read, Along Came a Spider (the first book in the series). When I saw this one, Return…
I got this from Netgalley, so I can read and review it before it’s published. Before I begin, I will tell you that when I was 13 years old in 1990, Larry Bird was my favorite player in the NBA. Don’t know why, when I had my hometown San Antonio Spurs to cheer for. A…
I got this book from Netgalley, so I can read and review it before it’s published. Now, before I begin, I do need to inform you that although I knew who she was when I was younger, I don’t remember reading any of her books. I did read part of one of the Fudge books…
I read Searching for Candy by Tracey J. Morgan in 2022, so I was already familiar with Candy’s life, Reading another book about his life wouldn’t hurt me, so I was on-board and eager. And, I even took some notes while I read it for this review, unlike in 2022 when I just read it….
I never would’ve known about this book had it not been for a friend of mine, Richard Oliver, on Facebook, who shared an update status where he interviewed Robert Steinfeld (Bob) at the JCC in San Antonio. Now, let me tell you that when I worked for the San Antonio Spurs from 1999 to 2002,…
I knew of Allen Iverson from his college and professional playing days. I also knew of what happened at the bowling alley that landed him in jail when he was in high school. Being a fan of the NBA, I enjoyed watching him play ball. So, when I saw this memoir of his life, I…
I knew a little bit about Babe and read a little bit about her in a book called Shattering the Glass: The Remarkable History of Women’s Basketball by Susan Shackleford and Pamela Grundy, but I wanted to know more, and this book didn’t disappoint me at all. From her high school basketball team as a…
I got this from Netgalley, so I can read and review it before it’s published. Having just read a biography on Moses Malone and read Julius Erving’s memoir a few years ago, and also reading a memoir about Eddie Gottlieb, the man responsible for professional basketball in Philadelphia, I was intrigued. This book is pretty…
I was aware of who Madden and Summerall were and was eager to read this book. I am glad this book didn’t go into extreme details for every NFL game John Madden and Pat Summerall worked together as broadcast partners. This book highlighted how they got started as broadcasters and how they got together as…
When I saw this one as an upcoming new release, I immediately threw it in my “want to read” list on Goodreads. I was interested in to learn more about his life growing up with an actor dad and an actor brother. I was interested in some of his movies that I thoroughly enjoyed –…
I have recently finished reading all of the Lucas Davenport Prey books, so I was familiar with Virgil Flowers. It was nice, though, in this book, that I got a lot more insight into Virgil’s parents, his marriages and divorces, his fashion (rock and roll t-shirts), and his curb appeal to the ladies. There is…
I have had this book in my want to read list for a while, and I have tried a few times to get into it, and stopped. It’s something that intrigued me, but again, I just couldn’t get into it. Well, a few days ago, I tried again, and this time, I trudged slowly through…
I got this book from Netgalley, so I can read and review it before it’s published. As a music fan, when I saw this book, I was definetely intrigued. I did get the opportunity to visit the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame once, but that was many years ago. I also own most of…
I got this from Netgalley, so I can read and review it before it’s published. Before I dive in, I was a huge basketball fan (mainly San Antonio Spurs, but also the league in general). So, when I saw this biography of Moses, I was all in and extremely intrigued. I knew a little about…
I got this from Netgalley, so I can read and review it before it’s published. Before I dive in, I was a huge basketball fan (mainly San Antonio Spurs, but also the league in general) when Tim was in the NBA and this book actually brought back a lot of memories of him, his teammates,…
I just finished reading the Prey series by John Sandford, and Kidd is in some of those books. I thought I would give this series a read before I start the Virgil Flowers series. Well, I didn’t like it as much as I thought I should and am glad I didn’t start with this one…
I just finished reading all the Lucas Davenport series books. I wasn’t sure if I would like this story, as it felt forced by the publishers and editors – just to get something written for these two authors and characters. I am glad it was a quick read for me, as there was hardly any…
I was a little bit sad that this is the last book in the Lucas Davenport series, but am also glad at the same time that I can start the Kidd series and Virgil Flowers series by Sandford. I have already read all the Letty Davenport books by Sandford. I will definitely be in line…
I got this book from Netgalley so I can read and review it before it’s published. I just happen to stumble on this book while I was browsing on Netgalley, and I was interested. I mean, I knew a little about her and wanted to learn more. I am not a fan of her music,…
I got this one from Netgalley, so I can read and review it before it’s published. I was interested in his background and how he got started, and was satisfied with that aspect. I loved reading about his passion for music, especially hip-hop and how rapping put him on the map to succeed, and succeed…
