There's a trio of books coming out tomorrow that I am eagerly anticipating the release of.
First is a book I have already read, but I am looking forward to seeing its launch.
Written by Stan Bunger, Mornings With Madden is a collection of John Madden's tales and insights into American football and beyond.
Bunger was the presenter of a radio show in which Madden would appear. The author has been able to collect a bunch of Madden's stories from both memory and the archives and has sewn them together to form one of the most interesting books about the iconic football legend.
I gave Mornings With Madden five stars when I reviewed it on August 3rd 2024. I genuinely am looking forward to seeing how others find it. It will - for sure - add to the legend of Madden.
The next book I am looking forward to seeing is Batman Resurrection by John Jackson Miller.
I came across the cover when searching through Audible or Amazon over the summer and made a note of its release date in my planner.
As you'll see, in the image immediately below, the novel is an authorised sequel to Tim Burton's Batman movie from 1989.
I plan to buy this book, but will hold off from reading it until I rewatch the movie just so I can go from one story to its follow-up.
Speaking of movies - the third book in the aforementioned trio is an autobiography by my favourite actor.
Sonny Boy by Al Pacino is also coming tomorrow. I don't plan on 'reading' this one. I am going to use one of my Audible credits and get the audiobook of it.
Pacino reads the book himself (according to Audible), so it's a no-brainer to me. Listening to it is how I would like to consume this one. I always prefer listening to autobiographies written by their writer and this is - without a shadow of a doubt - the prime example I can use.
I would not like anyone else to read Sonny Boy other than Pacino. If, when the time comes tomorrow, I realise Al Pacino does not narrate his book, I'll simply pass on the audiobook and purchase a physical copy.
The bottom line - I am getting Sonny Boy either way.
Order Mornings With Madden from Amazon UK
