This is an amazingly honest book written by a man who obviously has the self-confidence to not be too worried about what people think of him because he knows who he is. Sure, there are a few things I was not thrilled to learn but you gotta give the man credit for being so forthright. … Continue reading Greenlights by Matthew McConaughey

The Sentinel by Lee Child and Andrew Child
I love Jack Reacher so I was a little, okay, more than a little concerned that when Lee Child decided to retire and turn over the series to his younger brother, Andrew Child that Jack was going to go down the proverbial drain. Yes, I know Andrew Child is an author with a number of … Continue reading The Sentinel by Lee Child and Andrew Child
Where The Crawdads Sing by Delia Owens
This is obviously a huge hit with over 33000 reviews on Amazon, so given the hype, I had to read it. I am pleased to say that it was even better than I expected.

The Marsh King’s Daughter by Karen Dionne

Past Tense by Lee Child
I love Jack Reacher. I think I am in awe of him. Everytime a new book comes out by Lee Child, I rush to get it. Some authors are just like that, but then when you finish the book (in one sitting because you can not put it down) you go into a kind of … Continue reading Past Tense by Lee Child

Obviously, I love books, so a book about a bookstore has to be icing on the cake, but this was way different from what I expected. The main character, Clay, gets a job at the bookstore as a clerk, working the night shift. He has … Continue reading Mr Penumbra’s 24- Hour Bookstore by Robin Sloan
