This is a book from John McPhee long time writer for the New Yorker among other things. It contains a lot of great information on just the process of writing. Tires is not a step by step or do this… type of book. More it is at a higher and at once a lower level.…

Book 21 of the Goosebumps series. Practical jokes and worms. Lots of worms. This one does have a grossness factor and is less mystical than other tales. Overall it is entertaining and is an interesting way to take this old saying.

The conclusion to a wonderful series. We wrap the whole thing up and end with an explanation of what is going on. Logan features prominently in this one. Overall the series was a fun one to read with lots of business details that kept one thinking how things can be resolved with words far better…

Dragons! This one takes the war to the Tradesmen. Charles is in the center of it again. More trades, more deals, and actually a little bit of fighting. Overall it is a continuation and we get to see more deals and more trading. The series is still entertaining and moving in different directions. If you’ve…

Book 16 of the Goosebumps series. This one was interesting as the adults were a part of the scare, which is a little out of the ordinary. Obviously they are secondary characters. This is an odd funny one that will make you think twice at stopping at just any amusement park, especially ones that say…

This time we change tactics and although this is still so about trade, I love the new direction. The series continues to be fun and entertaining as Charles negotiates his way to ruling the world. I am glad I picked up this series and look forward to book 4.
