    Book 1 of the Divine Seed series. I will start off by saying that I loved this book. For me it fired on all cylinders. There were areas I wish he would have explored a little more. But if you have read the Divine Dungeon series then you will love this one too. They are…

    Book 1 of the Myth series. This is a classic. Super fun and exciting. The story keeps you engaged all the way through. A great balance of wonder and humor that will keep you laughing all the way through. If you get a chance read this one. It is an oldie but a goodie.

  • The Andalite’s Gift

    Book 1 of Megamorphs from the Animorphs series. This was interesting as all the characters got their own chapter. Aside from that it is all the action you have come to enjoy.

  • Understanding Your Inner Genius

    This was a Great Courses program that discussed what genius is and how we rate it. All in all I think it comes down to not trying to put labels on things that just have too many ways you could call it genius. The work on electrical impulses to stimulate and strengthen mental capacities was…

  • The Mystery at Skeleton Point

    Book 91 of the Boxcar Children. This was a fun mystery. The children have lots of suspects and many people who just do not want them around. This was a little bit of a break from the norm, but action packed and of course they will have to do their homework to catch the baddies.…

  • The Stuffed Bear Mystery

    Book 90 of the Boxcar Children. Thieves beware when the Alden Children are on the case. Lots of suspects but who could have stolen the missing bear? Lots of strange red herrings in this one and not my favorite ending. All in all a solid mystery and great for the young ones being able to…
