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.

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…

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…

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…

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…

This book was specific to the experiences related to The Moth. That said it was still very insightful to the various tools that a storyteller can utilize to properly convey a story. I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to improve their delivery on a story or that feels they have a wonderful…

Book 3 in the Spells, Swords, & Stealth series. Really enjoyed this one. There were a few inappropriate words that I think the novel would have been even better without. The concept is very interesting and this book went further to blur the reality between the game and the real world. I am very excited…

Book 11 of the Left Behind series. This is right at the end. I am very curious what the next two books are about. Lots of death in this one. Key figures are finally killed off. The end of this book is not cheery at all and leaves me wanting to get into the next…
