  • Bones of the Past

    Villains Code book 2. This book draws you in and keeps the story ever moving forward. Lots of action and character development. I enjoyed every step of the one. I love the underlying premise of what do you stand for. I like that villain doesn’t necessarily mean evil. I love how the story blends the…

  • The Return of the Graveyard Ghost

    Book 133 of the Boxcar Children. This is a spooky mystery with a happy ending. The concept of the twist makes this a fun lighthearted mystery with an underlying warning that even when you are doing what you see as right, you can be besmirching someone’s reputation and causing many unseen problems. When you do…

  • Aesop’s Fables

    If you’ve never read these, take the time and do it. There is so much wisdom to be gleaned. This is not my first time through these, but I learned much more now at my older age than I did when I was younger. I am even trying to figure out how I can add…

  • Thank You for Listening

    This was another Goodreads challenge books. This however was my favorite of the challenges so far. This is an adult themed book and does lean on the romance genre and so there are a couple of scenes that could have been mellowed a bit and there is a little profanity. All in all it is…

  • The Dutch House

    This book was a challenge book by Goodreads. To me it was reminiscent of A Tree Grows in Brooklyn. While the setting and style are not my preference, I did enjoy this one. This to me speaks more about the circles of our lives and how we approach the hand we are dealt. Overall, love,…

  • The Onset

    Book 1 of the A Student Wants to Live series. As with a lot of books in this genre, this feels written for the early college crowd. Overall, the writing is fine and there are plenty of discoveries and changes that allow the “game” world to feel huge. This novel is set in Russia, which…

  • Legends and Lattes

    Book 1 of Legends & Lattes. This fun book takes us into the thought of moving from adventurer to NPC. I enjoyed this book. The various characters were fun and varied. How do you make starting a coffee shop fun and interesting? This book does that in spades. This book was an exciting fun read…

  • Phule’s Errand

    Book 6 of Phule’s Company. Dad to see this series end. This is one that I really enjoyed and felt it could have continued indefinitely. This was a fun read. The company stays on current assignment, but all goes haywire when General Blitzkrieg come to visit and Beeker has taken a sudden leave of absence.…

  • No Phule like an old Phule.

    Book 5 of Phule’s Company. This one is more of the slapstick fun comedy that you’ve come to appreciate from the series. It is sad to think that there is only one more book in this series. This time we are introduced to Phule’s father and I love that way his character plays off of…

  • Traitor

    Book 5 of the Piggy series. This was a fun horror. There is a traitor among you, who is it? Can the figure it out before the monster gets them all. Pretty standard horror premise. Overall, this book has stayed pretty standard to the series. This series for me is really a 3.5 and being…
