  • The Seattle Puzzle

    Book 111 of Boxcar Children. This should be called, “Best places to visit in Seattle” and should be given out by the tourism board. Aside from that it was a fun scavenger hunt through the city. This one had no bad guys and was just a fun for all ages puzzle. Fun and different and…

  • The Secret of the Mask

    Book 110 of the Boxcar Children series. This one is filled with Native American details as the children are yet again solving mysteries and catching bad guys. This time it is really close to home including a robbery in their own garage. Lots of suspects and a few red herrings will keep you wondering all…

  • The Chosen

    Book 1 of Arcane Kingdom Online. This fun fast paced RPGLit book has a little different flavor to it. Systems are similar to others but character sheet data is kept to a minimum and it has a good character start with a strong twist at the end. Overall I am excited to start through this…

  • Ignition

    Book 4 of the Nova Terra: Tower series. As always this book was fast paced with crazy fun development and super powers. I really have enjoyed this series and look forward to the next book. The only thing I would have liked to have seen differently, is Thorn being in truly dangerous situations. There were…

  • Rainbow in the Dark

    This standalone novel was a mix between Catcher in the Rye and Alice in Wonderland with lots of profanity. A lot of this book you just spent confused. It comes together in the end, but the writing in the 2nd person is awkward and distracting for me and I don’t feel it added anymore to…

  • Home, Siege Home

    Book 6 of The Good Guys series. This was a great RPGLit book. It very seldom gives the stats pages and focuses more on character growth. What I really enjoy is the idea of the hyper-successful character still needing to train. There was a sad absence of Mr. Paul in this one, but plenty of…

  • The Rock ‘N’ Roll Mystery

    Book 109 of Boxcar Children series. This was a fun mystery and maybe it is just the van but totally felt like Scooby-Doo. This was a criminal one with the authorities involved. Lots of clues but it seemed the criminal was a little obvious. Aside from that there were still a couple of red herrings…

  • The Empire

    Book 4 of the Infinite Realm series. We finally get to see the empire of the 3rd iteration. This was a fun read and went over a lot of items. I loved the false ending and all the other introspection that it covers. It feels like we have made some epic steps. I am excited…

  • God of Land

    Book 7 of the Realm Between. This adventure deepens our understanding and we finally are moving forward toward the end. Secrets are revealed and new friends are made. This series is fun but definitely mature audiences are advised. Both course language and adult themes are prevalent through the book and series. That said, there is…

  • The Other Wind

    Book 6 in the Earthsea series. This book is more of a diatribe than adventure novel. It is more like reminisces. It is like an extension of the end of Tales from Earthsea. I had a hard time keeping interested and found myself mentally roaming. Of the series this was the hard one for me…
