  • One More Last Time

    Book 1 of The Good Guys. This LitRPG novel fits the genre pretty well. The being is a bit odd and there is a lot of course language, so I would only recommend it to older YA and those who do not mind a number of curse words. Aside from that it is a fun…

  • How I Write

    This is a bit dated but still a good starting point for those looking to write a book. It is a good compilation of knowledge I have read over numerous areas. If your dream is to write a book but don’t know where to start, this is a good jumping off point.

  • Transformation

    Book 5 of Battle Mage Farmer. This was a wonderful read. I have enjoyed the series up to now and always love how the MC has to find a new way to do something that used to be so easy. The other big change is that we see some progress on reducing from points. Aside…

  • Forge Master

    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…

  • Terror in Shadow Canyon

    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.…

  • How to Write a Sentence and Read One

    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…

  • How Stella Saved the Farm

    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…

  • How to Twist a Dragon’s Tale

    Book 5 of How to Train Your Dragon. I feel like these books are even getting better. This one was fast exciting and perfect for reluctant readers. A love story of a different sort and all our favorite players are there again. Just have to ask a bodyguard or not? The twist ending is both…

  • The Clue in the Corn Maze

    Book 101 of the Boxcar Children series. A fun mystery out on the farm. If you’ve ever been to a corn maze you’ll enjoy this one. There is a vandal loose trying to stop the festival. Super great red herrings and a good ending. This book is appropriate for those young readers who could read…

  • Mattimeo

    Book 3 of Redwall. If you’ve read the first two books you’ll see this in the same plot structure. Why fix something that isn’t broken. This is a great story that pulls at any parent’s heartstrings. What would you do if your child was stolen? Well, if you are Matthias there isn’t far enough you…
