  • James Patterson

    Autobiography by the world’s best selling author. Interesting to learn more about him. I would recommend it to die hard fans as it gives you a little look at the person behind all of those novels. It also really gives you a human look at who he is. Fun stories and more await you.

  • Forest of Desire

    Book 2 of The Alchemist series. I like the series so far. This is an RPGLit book where the people don’t know or acknowledge that there are I in a video game. The main character continues to defeat enemies far stronger than he. This leaves a little to the yeah right factor, but you’re also…

  • The Mystery of the Secret Message

    Book 55 of the Boxcar Children. A mystery right in Greenfield who would have guessed. Shadowy figures, ransacked items, vandalized statues. What are the Alden children to do. And all of this right before a big celebration. Can the children solve the mystery in time? The series continues to entertain.

  • Winds of Fate

    Book 3 of Feyroll. This was a fun book in the series. Got to love adventures in the fridge north. If you love Vikings you’ll love this installment. An impossible quest and old acquaintances. The series has hit stride. Since we have been west, east, and now north the only way left is to the…

  • The Road East

    Book 2 of Fayroll. This was a great second novel. A lot of setup hooks and preparation for the rest of the series. This book feels like a lot of ground work, but it surprises me that there are 12 books in the series right now. Although at least this book slowed down the insanely…

  • More Than A Game

    Book 1 of Feyroll. This Russian author has created a wonderful immersive RPGLit book that will keep you going right through the end. I am surprised at the level up speed as it almost felt like it was going too fast for believability. Aside from that, tremendous bad guys, good fight scenes, and strange quests…

  • The Hurricane Mystery

    Book 54 of the Boxcar Children. Something strange is a foot right after a hurricane. Pirates, Hidden treasure, and all. It is up to the Alden children to sort this mess out and right in the middle of the whole thing is a thief. Not to worry though they will have this solved before dinner…

  • The Body

    This is the book that inspired the movie “Stand By Me” and if you’re a child of the 80’s a well loved classic. This book and the movie are very similar and was a pleasant stroll down memory lane. There are a few parts I could have done without. To me it is like the…

  • The Guide Dog Mystery

    Book 53 of the Boxcar Children. Can you think of anything worse than stealing someone’s guide dog? I couldn’t. It is ok because the Alden children are on the case. This was a fantastic ride with some good red herrings. Maybe it was just that I really want this perpetrator caught. A quick happy story…

  • The Cursed Carnival and Other Calamities

    This is a varied collection of short stories that I believe are continuations from each author’s main body of work. To me it was like I was coming in the middle of the movie on each story. They were all well written but I think I need to spend a little more time with each…
