Book Reviews......

I've got a reading list going on my Kindle so I thought I would review what I have read so far. Actually, it's not so much of a review, it's more like what the book was about so you can decide if you want to spend the money.

In The President's Secret Service by Robert Kessler:
JFK was a perv
LBJ was a pig
Nixon was weird
Ford was a cheapskate
Carter was an a-hole
Reagan was really down to earth and nice
Bush 41 was nice; Barbara was mother-hen to everyone and a Secret Service favorite
Clinton...well, living with Hillary explained a lot!
Bush 43 was a regular guy
Obama is ok (so far)
Secret Service is overworked, underpaid, understaffed, and it's not what you know it's who you know.

Mancation, or Pete and Burt's Almost Gay Adventure in Baltimore by Noel Davis
I've only read a sample of this, but from what I've read so far, it's great! It's about a couple of straight guys who go on a vacation together to see a ballgame. But since they are traveling together, everyone just assumes they are a gay couple.

On Grandma's Porch by Debra Leigh Smith, et al
A collection of short stories written by various people reminiscing about life with their Grandparents. Some are funny, some are sad, but overall it's a great book if you want to read something light.
