I really enjoyed this one, primarily because it revolved around Joe Pike and something that happened while he was a police officer. It also provided a lot of great insight to Pike. There is a lot of collaboration amongst LAPD and Cole and Pike. Eventually, Cole and Pike get in trouble with the law. The…
I finished all the Lucas Davenport and Virgil Flowers books by John Sandford and just read the most recent Spenser book by Mike Lupica. I had the Harry Bosch and Lincoln Rhymes first books in my want to read list, and tried them, but just couldn’t get into them. So, I googled similar books to…
Normally, this wouldn’t be a book I would read, but a few days ago I saw that Bill Gates recommended some books and this was one of them. The description intrigued me, so I decided to check it out. As I was reading it, it reminded me a little bit of the book called, A…
I have had this one in my want to read list since June 30th. The wait was definitely worth it, as I inhaled it and didn’t want to put it down once I started it. I was glad to see Hawk, Tony Marcus, Belson, Quirk, and even Jesse Stone back as well, and of course,…
It’s funny because I had this book in my Want to Read list, and when it finally made it to my Currently Reading list, it was Thanksgiving and my wife turned on the movie, Back To The Future, for us to watch. And, I am glad to say my 9-year-old on liked it. Now, we…
It’s funny because I had this book in my Want to Read list, and when it finally made it to my Currently Reading list, it was Thanksgiving and my wife turned on the movie, Clue, for all of us. My 9-year-old son liked it so much, that we watched it again and then again the…
I only knew of Cheryl Hines from the tv show Curb Your Enthusiasm (even though I have never watched it). I didn’t know she was part of The Groundlings. Her teacher was Lisa Kudrow before she got Friends. How cool is that? If you are a fan of Curb, she provides a lot of great…
I got this book from Netgalley so I can read and review it before it’s published. Now, before I start, I need to tell you I have only seen a few of her movies, so I wasn’t that familiar with her. It was a really quick read for me, and I enjoyed her stories of…
Well, I am a little bit sad that I have just finished reading all the Virgil Flowers books. What am I supposed to do with my life now that I don’t know what “that fucking flowers” is up to? Maybe I will see him on the road here in Minnesota where I live! I like…
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…
