Checked out a bunch of books at the library then used the money we saved on brunch.
so-so3 ⭐ Celebrity author, books are one thing but when they use their life to tell a fake story, it doesn‘t always work. This book very much reads like Alex Rodriguez is sharing the glory days of his youth. It‘s overly long and tad bit tripe and feels like a giant fish story. I do think the illustrations are great and I love how in the end they included real pictures and Ted bits about Alex Rodriguez‘s life.
We‘re in the middle of a hostile government takeover, but it‘s still Opening Day.
pickIf you are a baseball fan, you are going to like this novel. Joe Castle was hit in the head with a baseball. Life changes for both the Warren Tracey and Joe Castle after that incident. I liked Warren‘s son Paul and the story behind the life of the two men. 4/5 ⭐️
Still not many (14) but some are pretty memorable.
1. The Pride of the Yankees
2. 12 Angry Men
3. Gaslight
4. To Kill A Mockingbird

1. My glasses glow in the dark. I didn‘t know that when I bought them.
2. It‘s that time of year again. I‘m not much on sports but baseball I enjoy.
3. Litsy
4. Libby has been my constant the last couple weeks.
5. Warm blankets.
It‘s the little things this week 😊

The good news is this was a compelling and interesting story. It‘s 1922 in St. Louis, and the MC gets inadvertently involved in investigating the murder of a player for a local Negro League team. He finds out more than he expected about the racism and violence of the KKK and segregation. There‘s also a little personal crisis in his life.
The bad news is I can‘t find the next installment. Not insurmountable but inconvenient.
