I have often heard it said that people who wind up doing comedy almost always come from a troubled past. I had no idea of just how dark Billy West's past was. Billy is one of the most talented voice over actors in the business. This is one of the most honest biographies I have … Continue reading Book Recommendation – Voice-a-Versa

Book Recommendation – Crooks
As an Italian, I couldn't help but pick this book up because of the title. Crooks: A Novel About Crime and Family by Lou Berney was actually one that I listened to in the car. I have to say that whoever narrated it did a great job. His pacing and inflection conveyed exactly what was … Continue reading Book Recommendation – Crooks
Book Recommendation – The Last Letters of Sally and Walter
I must be getting old. I recently finished The Last Letters of Sally and Walter by Cammie McGovern. I picked this up at the library because I guess I thought that it was about two people writing letters to each other. I never really noticed the cover design and was oblivious that it is designed … Continue reading Book Recommendation – The Last Letters of Sally and Walter
Book Recommendation – The Book of Doors
"The Book of ...." It is probably a coincidence that the last couple books I have read have titles that start with those three words. While today's book is similar to The Book of Lost Hours, The Book of Doors was one that read like a cool sci-fi movie. Here is the Goodreads synopsis: If … Continue reading Book Recommendation – The Book of Doors
Book Recommendation – The Book of Lost Hours
I read The Book of Lost Hours because of the first line in the Goodreads Synopsis: "For fans of The Ministry of Time and The Midnight Library." I loved The Midnight Library (and am about to start The Midnight Train) and the Ministry of Time was ok. Once the book got underway, it was much different than I … Continue reading Book Recommendation – The Book of Lost Hours
Book Recommendation – Joe Nuthin’s Guide to Life
Awhile back I bought some books from Thrift Books. I earned some free books by doing so. I had a couple that I had to use before they expired and I went to my "To Read" list. One that I had not been able to get on the Libby or Hoopla Apps was Joe Nuthin's … Continue reading Book Recommendation – Joe Nuthin’s Guide to Life
Book Recommendation – How To Get Away With Murder
The latest book placed on my “finished” stack was an enjoyable one. I was actually surprised to find out it was the debut novel for Rebecca Philipson. I listened to the audiobook, which was very well done. Here is the Goodreads synopsis: This fresh debut thriller finds a Scotland Yard detective trying to find the … Continue reading Book Recommendation – How To Get Away With Murder
Book Recommendations – This Book Made Me Think of You
This is one of those books that the title caught my attention. When I read what it was about, the premise peaked my interest. Before I go on, here is the Goodreads synopsis: Twelve stories. Twelve months. Once chance to heal her heart... When Tilly Nightingale receives a call telling her there’s a birthday gift … Continue reading Book Recommendations – This Book Made Me Think of You
Book Recommendation – On a Sea of Glass
I have to give a huge "thank you" to my buddy Max from the Power Pop Blog for recommending the book I just finished - On a Sea of Glass. He is a Titanic buff like me, and he told me that this was the most thorough book on the subject. He was SO right. … Continue reading Book Recommendation – On a Sea of Glass
Book Recommendation – Theo of Golden
This book is one that I had seen on many "Highly Recommend" lists on Goodreads and blogs I read. I'm not sure what took me so long to actually find out what the book was about. I added it to my "Want to Read" list and finally got the opportunity to read it. I actually … Continue reading Book Recommendation – Theo of Golden
