  • Shark Night

    This odd book was interesting. A fun exciting running around being chased and lost. This was a fun book that leaves you wondering what someone would do to create realism. And leaves you wondering how did it end. With a horror writer you are welcome to assume the worst. Overall a decent read, just not…

  • Solve for Happy

    This is one of those rare books that becomes a strong recommend to all. This book has so many great concepts and I enjoyed it throughout. I love the mathematical approach to life the universe and everything. While not a religious book per se, there are definite strong beliefs put forward and a beautiful way…

  • A Horse Named Dragon

    Book 114 of the Boxcar Children series. This one is all about life in the ranch. Horse ranch to be specific. When horses start disappearing the Alden kids find themselves in another mystery. Fun and adventure follow with a lot of cool details, like another use for goldfish. A great read for readers of all…

  • Phule’s Company

    This is book 1 of the Phule’s Company series and the second series I am reading through by Robert Asprin. His writing style is wonderful. This book is a strong opener giving us several characters we are excited for. This book is themed for treating people how you want them to be and watch them…

  • Fugitive

    Book 11 of Zom-B. This book is a great builder for the final book. Loose ends are getting tied up and all the pieces are on the board. The final scenes are looming. That said there was still plenty of action and giving of the finger. Still not appropriate for younger or sensitive readers. Overall…

  • How to Fight a Dragon’s Fury

    Book 12 of How to Train Your Dragon. This is the conclusion to the series and wraps up very well. This concludes in a way to wrap up the various storylines and still allow it to be considered historical fiction. The entire series is age appropriate and leaves us with a smile and knowing that…

  • How to Betray a Dragon’s Hero

    Book 11 of How to Train Your Dragon. This is the builder for the final book in the series. That said it isn’t boring. Lots of close calls and danger coupled with dating rescues and sacrifices. This book could be mid series as it does not let up until the end and leaves out valiente…

  • The Cure

    Book 2 of Piggy. Super fun adventure. Fast paced and lots of escapes that are narrow and harrowing as they search for the cure. Still maintains the video game feel with swinging axe and all. Still continues to be appropriate for Goosebumps readers and others.

  • Infected

    Piggy book 1. This novel reads like a video game. There is plenty of action running and fighting the infected creatures of the island. A lot is held back and I wonder if those familiar with the series are able to fill in blanks that I am hoping will be revealed soon. The writing is…

  • The Carpet People

    This book in true Terry Pratchett style had me laughing and loving the comparisons. I loved the concept on this one and loved the scale change based on the size of the carpet people. Overall a great read and super fun story. I love that this was rewritten from an earlier work and comparing the…
