I don't usually read biographies, but I have to admit that I'm curious about Michael J Fox life.
ReplyDeleteHere is my Halloween edition of TT.
I've been wondering about this book. Michael J. Fox comes across as a genuinely nice guy, and I've been wondering what his autobiography might reveal about his background.
ReplyDeleteMy Teaser today is from THE FUNERAL DRESS.
Good tease. I hope you enjoy the bio. I look forward to your thoughts.

I have been wanting to read this book. Thank you for the reminder to start looking for it again. My TT can be seen here: http://meandu-justthinking.blogspot.ca/2013/10/teaser-tuesdays-oct-29.html
ReplyDeleteThat's such an intriguing teaser! A little sad. I love MJFox - might have to take a look at his book.
ReplyDeleteHere's my teaser from Night Film by Marisha Pessl
I should pick this one up. Sounds good.
ReplyDeleteThat is certainly true for anyone who is in or has been in the military. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI have one of his other books, this looks interesting too!
