  • Revenge of the Lawn Gnomes

    Book 34 of the Goosebumps series. What do you do when crazy things begin to happen and you’re the only one who knows? Well of course you become the number one suspect. Not to worry though, with help from your sister and friend you might just survive. Enjoy this fun little tale about mischievous lawn…

  • Night of the Living Dummy 2

    This is book 31 of the Goosebumps series. Our favorite indestructible psycho dummy is back looking for another slave. This concept is the dark side of Toy Story when you know the toy is alive but no one else does and anytime he is about to get caught he can just play not real. The…

  • Be Careful What You Wish For

    Book 12 of Goosebumps. This is your twist on the standard genie with the three wishes. Overall it was pretty straightforward with wishes gone wrong and a mild twist at the end. This one is not scary and would be appropriate for even non-horror readers. Or even for those struggling to fit in in middle…

  • Return of the Mummy

    Book 23 of the Goosebumps series. This time it is back to Egypt in a part 2 to The Curse of the Mummy (book 5). This one is just as supernatural and refers back to the first story, not that you’d have to read that one first but it would help. I liked the tie…

  • You Can’t Scare Me

    This was a fun one talking about revenge and mud monsters. Three tries to scare Courtney and well you’ll have to read how it goes. I am a little surprised at the ending as they are usually a bit creepier but it was a good ending anyway.

  • CivCEO

    Book 1 and I loved the concept on this one. One of the best parts of this was the alternate view of LitRPG, going at it from a pure business perspective verses battle based. Overall, I liked the character development and progression of the building. I am excited to see how it moves forward from…

  • Why I Am Afraid of Bees

    Book 17 of the Goosebumps series. This is a milder version of The Fly but a similar concept. It has a good ending and isn’t as much horror as Freaky Friday type vibe. A fun short story with an RL Stine twist at the very end.

  • Welcome to Camp Nightmare

    Goosebumps book 9. This one takes us to an unusual summer camp. It has a nice twist and is spooky in the in between. I like the false clues as you follow along with Billy trying to figure out what is going on and what is happening to the campers that keep disappearing. Over a…

  • Joseph Smith’s Gold Plates

    This is a historical look at the stories surrounding the Book of Mormon. The author is a known historian and he does try to stay neutral and discuss the facts as they’ve been recorded. Overall it was an interesting read and a good look at the historical events and the different items that surrounded it.

  • The Lost Metal

    Book 7 of the Mistborn series. This moves us into the Industrial Revolution in the fictitious world of Scadrial. This is the end of the era and arc. That does mean it is action packed and this is a concluding book. As a whole the Mistborn series is worth the read. The magic system is…
