Book 1 of Tower. This took a lot of catch up as I have not read Nova Terra. I would love to have read the first series but here we are. That said you will enjoy this one either way. Totally appropriate for YA readers who enjoy LitRPG novels. I love the concept of the…

Book 3 of Monsterious. This was the nightmare of all campers. Giant spiders and intelligent to match. A fun midgrade read that isn’t too scary, however young and sensitive readers be warned. Aside from that it is the same Goosebump like scare that will keep your reluctant readers going far beyond their required read time.…

This book is literally about sentences. If you’re not a writer I am not sure if you’ll enjoy this. If you are a bit of a nerd and can get excited about complex sentence structure, then you’ll enjoy this to no end, I know I did. For writers I would hope more would read this…

This book is more an analogy for how businesses move into new product lines. Albeit it harkens back to Animal Farm it is not nearly so dark nor ominous. A lot of the story is what we see all too often. Seems to me we see this type of innovation crippling behavior all too often…

Book 4 of the How to Train Your Dragon series. This might be one of my favorites of the entire series. A lot of action and we see a return of Camicazi. I hope we have more adventures with her as she offsets Hiccup well and keeps the humor going. If you’re down for a…

Book 7 of Young Wizards. This was an excellent novel. This was a two arm adventure coupled with a foreign exchange twist. Overall it is what you’ve come to expect from this series. There are strong religious undertones as with the others without it being specific to any one religion. I do love how involved…

Book 6 of Young Wizards. This was interesting as it addressed autism. It also drove through the road of grief. As it discussed the steps of grief in the loss of a parent. It is interesting as the two main characters conquer their own issues and yet end up helping each other. This is a…
