Today’s book review is of the book My Wild and Precious Life. It is Susanne Rheault’s memoir and I found it so interesting. Her writing is so good and her life is so interesting and full that I was captivated from start to finish.

After an experience at a brothel in Reno where he didn’t do anything with the women there but started conversation, he became really interested in telling the stories of these women and wanted to give…

Book Review: Newsreal
Earlier this year I was sent an advanced copy of Newsreal: A View Through the Lens When… and I finally had the time to finish reading it yesterday so I wanted to share a few thoughts on the book with you. Newsreal is written by Tim Ortman and he writes about starting out his career as an TV news cameraman eventually becoming an acclaimed and awarding winning one. While his career has spanned decades, the book focuses on the seven years he spent in the foreign news pool for NBC. I was really interested in reading this book because, if you didn’t know, I’m really in to keeping up with the…
