THE BOBBY GOLD STORIES BY: ANTHONY BOURDAIN
First let me start off by saying, this book isn’t anything special…. but it is. It is because it’s Anthony Bourdain. He’s special. He was special before he died and he’s extra special now. So right away, WOW. It feels you get a little insight to his brain, what he was thinking creatively and that…

THE SUN ALSO RISES (FIESTA) BY: ERNEST HEMINGWAY

LIGHTNING STRIKE BY: WILLIAM KENT KRUEGER
OH this one was interesting. This is my first Krueger book. Funny how life can time things perfectly. I just happen to attend a Smithsonian presentation of the Indian code talkers which briefed viewers in the beginning of boarding schools, etc while reading this book. Anyways – the book was good. A good mystery.…
