Reflections On…Books (book #4)

Posted on 05/27/202505/27/2025 by Mark

I have been keeping track of the books I read on Goodreads since 2020, but since 2023, I have been writing reviews. You see, I had an online writing presence since 2011, and piggybacked on that. Contact me if you’re curious about that part of my life! I rarely don’t like a book other or…

Reflections On…Books (book #3)

Posted on 05/19/202505/23/2025 by Mark

I have been reading a lot of fiction police thrillers and often wonder how much research the authors put into it to make it sound real, because to me, everything that takes place is extremely detailed. From the actual crime (which usually takes place at the beginning of the book), to the police work involved…

Reflections On…Sports and Spurs

Posted on 03/29/202505/23/2025 by Mark

Before Niko was born in 2016, I was a huge NBA basketball and San Antonio Spurs fan. Football and baseball, were not on my horizon. I could watch those two sports, but I wasn’t enamored like basketball. If anything, I liked basketball first and high school football second.  Why high school football? Well, from 1997…

Reflections On…Books (book #2)

Posted on 06/07/202305/23/2025 by Mark

I have really enjoyed reading books, and writing reviews on Netgalley, Amazon, Goodreads, Facebook, and my website. Netgalley allows me to read and review books before they are published. I just need to find a way to better promote them and myself. I seem to always have that problem. How can I get people to…

Reflections On…Books

Posted on 03/22/202305/23/2025 by Mark

I don’t have anybody in my very small circle of friends that I can sit down with and chat about the most recent books I have read. Nina will listen, but only to a certain point as she has different tastes of books than me. My parents have a very short attention span with my…

Reflections On…Podcasts

Posted on 06/27/202105/23/2025 by Mark

I have been listening to podcasts for several years; mostly comedy where the host or hosts interview somebody, a few music ones, and some sport ones, during my drive to and from work. That drive time averages about 2 and a half hours each day, so I can listen to quite a few throughout the…

Reflections On…Music

Posted on 04/11/202105/23/2025 by Mark

If you asked me what my favorite music genre is, I would quickly answer oldies; 50’s and 60’s! The funny thing about that is the fact that the majority of those artists are my parents age. I wasn’t even born! I was born in 1977 so, I should like late 80’s and 90’s! But, I…
