This was book 2 of the Way of the Shaman series. The book was paced well and kept me involved. My one complaint is waking at 2:00 in the morning ticked off that the author had blatantly violated the standard 3 try series and as such had temporarily stopped me reading. Looking from the end,…

The Alden kids are in a deep mystery this time. This was a little more like a mystery than the early books. Again these feel less cheesy and more like a fun mystery. Are they still age appropriate for the young ones? Absolutely yes. If you have a kid that is struggling to read. This…

The boxcar children are at it again and as you guessed it this time they are aboard a train. These short books get better each installment. Still a little cheesy but aside from that enjoyable reads. I would recommend this book of you just want to get a taste of the Alden family adventures.

I was delighted that this novel was more to my liking. I felt like this was a much stronger novel. Lots of great twists and red herrings to keep you guessing. The end of the novel I thought was a little coincidental on timing which I felt was unbelievable. That said I think this is…

Alex is hot after the next group of baddies. However this novel was not the same caliper as the last two. Did I enjoy it? Yes. But that said this felt like far less of the psychology and more of The “who dunnit”. That said there were good twists but it felt like this novel…

Book 1 of Animorphs. This is a strong middle grade book. Was it well paced, yes. Did it remind me of Power Rangers? Yes. For the length is it worth the read? Still going with a yes on this one. I would say that boys and girls age 10 and up would enjoy this. Also,…

Top form going back to the roots of this series. Loved this novel, probably not too 10 but it was everything a psychological thriller should be. Including the psychos. This was top notch in pacing and intrigue. I was excited to see that Alex drove the action in this one. Little different than previous novels…

The next Alex Delaware and the author is still firing on all cylinders. This has more twist then a rattlesnake nest and just as deadly. This one is in my top 5 of the Jonathon Kellerman novels so far. If you have yet to dive in, stepping into this one would give you both a…

John C. Maxwell is one of my favorites. I have yet to read / listen to any of his works and not gain a far greater insight. I did not do the program as outlined, but will at some future point. Albeit serendipitous that I read this on the heels of another Christian leadership book.…

This book was very well thought out and presented. This is a Christian approach to controlling who you are becoming and what you think. The author does use a number of Bible verses to illustrate his points and the narrative is both informative and entertaining. If you’re looking to better who you are, this little…
