  • Becca and the Prisoner’s Cross

    This was a fun quick read. Gave us more insight into the repercussions from Serpent’s Curse. It is a fun tale tools with lots of action and puzzles. Series still great for fans of 39 Clues.

  • The Serpent’s Curse

    In reading order book 3 of the Copernicus series. Still lots of action and near misses. While two force battle each other through a man and his children. Boy this time the clock is ticking. Shall be interesting to see how this series gets concluded as it is far less books than one would assume…

  • Wade and the Scorpion’s Claw

    The suggested reading for this series puts this book as the second to read. It is interesting and introduces us to more bad guys. However, this was an instance when they really did not accomplish much aside from meeting other players in the race. More and more it is like 39 Clues. If you enjoyed…

  • Inspiring Experiences That Build Faith

    This is a book of the various stories told by the late Thomas S. Monson. If you know his stories, then you know a compilation like this is both heart-warming and inspiring. Highly recommend.

  • The Forbidden Stone

    Book 1 of the Copernicus Legacy series. This book is reminiscent of the 39 Clues series. Fast pace, lots action / near misses. Barely escaping the bad guys. Kids vs adults in following the clues to the prizes. This YA series would play well for fans of 39 Clues. If you have an adventure loving…

    The master of horror gets dark with this one. In the prologue he states that this novel almost was never published because of how dark it is. After reading this I completely understand. Very well written and something that could leave you with nightmares. This book is very adult themes and language. I am impressed…

  • Discovering the Quality of Success

    This book is a nonfiction book talking about ways we can be better ourselves. There are several touching stories and a lot about just living a quality life. Albeit dated, we have only seen the things he talks about getting worse. My favorite part is him talking about the fact that craftsmanship is getting less…

  • The Mystery of the Lost Village

    Book 37 of the Boxcar Children. This was an exciting book that felt well researched. Lots of cool Native American historical information sprinkled in (Navajo specifically). It was enough to make me want to look further into how the Native Americans lived and thrives in the wilds of North America. I suggest you do not…

  • Good Omens

    If you have watched the series you will see that they have done an outstanding job with the translation from the book. Have have enjoyed both the series and the book. Definitely a whole new way at looking at the end of days. I love the humor in this book along with the premise. The…

  • Siege Tactics

    Book 4 in the Spells, Swords, & Stealth series. A good read, still waiting for the two groups to converge. The party has grown stronger and a lot happens to move the story along. Overall the series keeps me going but there still is a bit off with the pacing. Mostly with the non main…
