Book Review: Going the Distance by Mike Sielski
I went through a massive Rocky phase several years ago, and while during that time I came across trivia, I never went too deeply into the film’s history outside of circulating interviews. It’s exciting to see books like this popping up for the 50th anniversary…

Book Review: Not That Fancy by Reba McEntire
Though I don’t consider myself an all-out country music fan, I have fond memories of watching Reba’s performance of Fancy on a CMT awards show or special when I was a kid. I was somewhat familiar with her sitcom through a friend, and tidbits of memories like these were enough to make me want to…

Book Review: The Phantom by Bob Drury & Tom Clavin
I never tire of coming across new biographies of people who fought in World War II. How have I never heard of this man before?!…

Book Review: The JPII Field Guide by Bobby Angel & Jackie Angel
Pope John Paul II will forever be one of my favorite saints, not only because of his life and legacy, but also because he is one of the only saints (currently) who was alive in my lifetime. I have vivid memories of his papacy (which impresses me as he passed away when I was still…

Book Review: Basilicas by Grady Connolly

Book Review: Library of Forbidden Books by Mario Escobar
For some reason, I thought I’d read more of Mario Escobar’s books, but this is only my second. I remember Auschwitz Lullaby fondly, and I have The Teacher of Warsaw sitting on my bookshelf, but I digress. I was excited to get the opportunity to read his newest release!…

Book Review: We Are Never Ever Solving This Murder by Sarah Fox
I’d had the chance to read the first book in this series when it came out, but I passed on it because it seemed to tread too much into romance (I like my mysteries/thrillers to be very focused on the mystery). I didn’t realize this was part of the same series, although I should have…

Book Review: Kingdom of Devils by Katherine Grandjean
When I think of true crime, my mind immediately goes to the 20th century. I have read about and delved into a few cases from before the 1900s, but not often. When this book showed up in my inbox and I saw that it discusses America’s ‘first’ serial killers around the time of the American…
