This was an excellent book for those looking to improve their lives. I loved the under tone of hard work. I also loved the ideas around being upbeat. I took several notes and have ideas that I want to change. If you’re in a sales role this is a must read. If you want to…

Book 41 of the Boxcar Children. This was a fantastic mystery. Definitely kept you guessing with lots of strange goings on. I loved the red herring in this one. Completely pulled the suspicion off of the bad guy. This is in that top 10 for the series for sure. Recommended.

This was an interesting YA read with a South America twist. Yeah I know it happens on Brooklyn. Overall it is a different take on magic and myth. I enjoyed the storyline and the characters were relatable. The ending was very supernatural and felt like it stood out against the balance of the story. I…

I have not read this book since I was a child but it is still as heart-touching as it ever was. This book is a classic for a very good reason EB White has a wonderful way of bringing the farmyard alive. Each character leaps off the page. Highly recommend a read for any youngsters.…

Although I enjoyed a previous series, this book felt like it was trying to be too many things. I would have liked to have seen this “idea” broken out into three books and gone much deeper into each of the parts. I liked the book ok, but would just call it sci-if at this point…

Book 40 of the Boxcar Children. One step forward and two back sometimes. This felt less complex than the last book I loved a good red herring and thus lacked it vs the last book. Overall the book was well paced and the mystery was solved. Just as a whole felt lies complex.

Book 39 of the Boxcar Children. This was a fun little adventure as most are. This was the first real use of a red herring I have seen in the series. Perhaps it will turn into something later in the series, which was hinted at. Either way it was masterfully done.

This was a fun quick little read. Plenty of action adventure when a mouse sized boy tries to navigate the world. As a classic it leaves you wondering what he will do next. Great option for those early readers looking for a fun story.

A nonfiction book focused on how to get more out of less land. I do like that the author focuses on sustainability and has a lot of helpful information on taking your garden to the next level. This is a great beginning book to see what you r be doing wrong or could do better.…

Book 7 of the Way of the Shaman. This was a great conclusion to the series. I liked the wrap up. Overall the series is one I would recommend to a mature audience. I loved the this latest installment I would rather this have taken three or four more books because I really would have…
