A great read. The Hunger Games before the Hunger Games were ever thought about. A dystopian future where there are no happy endings. If you want to experience what the true Hunger Games would be like, pick this up. I love the concept of doing something to keep people from realizing how bad it really…

Book 39 of Animorphs. This was probably my favorite of the whole series. This one posed some very deep philosophical questions. And while the answer to the question was taken out of their hands, I wish there had been a different resolution. Overall this book will have you thinking well beyond that last page.

This books by Christian writer CS Lewis is an excellent look at the idea of miracles and he spends a lot of time looking at both sides of this coin. This is a really in-depth review on the way we can approach our own beliefs in miracles. Well thought out and discussed. I would defiantly…

I have been a huge fan of John C Maxwell for years. This book is no exception to his amazing works. From the very beginning they are not just thoughtful or inspiring by all very positive. If you’re looking for a book to read to help you become a better reader, look no further.

Book 49 of the Boxcar Children. This time it is personal. Someone has stolen the boxcar and the Aldens need to figure out who. Loved this one. Lots of red herrings and a perfect conclusion leads to a great story and this one nailed it. This is in the top 10 for the series and…

Book 10 of A Series of Unfortunate Events. This book picks up with the orphans in immediate danger. As usual they will have to use there particular talents to get out of this one. They meet some new friends/enemies and we revisit some old faces. Overall a solid book in the series. Excited to get…

Book 9 of the Series of Unfortunate Events. This one was filled with even more misfortune. The best part is the reversal of roles as it is not Count Olaf in disguise this time. Lots of near misses but still ends up on a very literal cliffhanger. Excited to see if we can get even…

Book 48 of Boxcar Children. This was a mystery about a mystery writer. Ok that was just fun to say. The overall mystery wasn’t terrific but had a cloak and dagger feel to it. The mystery was more about what it was that the person wanted with a couple of people suspects. Strange coincidences made…

Book 2 of Battlemage Farmer series. Loving this LitRPG series. It is different than others but I still really enjoy it. Cannot wait to read book 3. If you want to try out this genera this would be a good series that is a little more fantasy and lighter of the pretty standard RPG elements.

The movie follows this book pretty well. I still felt closer to the characters in the book than I did in the movie. Highly recommend you read this book as it has some great perspectives and thought processes. I truly see this book as a modern classic and think it should be required reading in…
