This is a blog reviewing the latest book I have read along with the books I have self-published. Please feel free to follow along with my reading / writing journey.

So this is the first novel I have read by Jonathon Kellerman. It is a little dated having been published in 1985. That being said it was still a fun thriller to read. The pacing was nice. I find it funny that it is a Doctor named Alex for those who follow my Alex Cross…

Hansel and Gretel retold in a different way. This time a series of stories from traditional Brothers Grimm. It is a bit gorey and I would not recommend it for younger readers. But if you have older teenagers they would enjoy it. The devil and a dragon even feature, which should delight any fantasy YA…

Interesting the style of writing and how it has changed since 1977. I have never read these, but really harkens to a Tom Sawyer type feel. Short and fun read and appropriate even for young children.

How real are all of those scientific break throughs? Albeit it is worrisome to think that all of the science data could be called into question, I think it would be worse to close our eyes to the thoughts brought up in this book. After reading this I wonder how broad these issues are in…

Yet more in the saga of Darren Shan, half vampire. This time he must leave vampire mountain in search of the would be vampire lord. Back on the road again with familiar faces and some new ones. Will they be able to stop him in time?

The latest in SlappyWorld novels. This was a good read and different while being the same. This is an enjoyable novel and I would recommend it to read. Not too scary. This does deal with violence and bullying but I think the violence isn’t really repeatable so I would not worry too much based on…

This is a little different grammar book. Before you start to snore, this is a fun one. Albeit this relates more to British English than to American there is still a lot of pertinent information for Americans. A lot of the history of grammar is outlined and I enjoyed the examples on how we gain…

I wish I would have read this book in college. He has a great approach to figuring out what the best fit for you is in your career search. This is worth the read if you are trying to figure out what you want to do or what you want to do next. If you’re…

This book is exactly what you would expect from a life coach. His approach to how you view your life feels fresh and innovative. Albeit I did not do all of the exercises, I feel like the more you put into this the more you could take charge of your life. If you are trying…

A twisted fairytale where the author changes one piece of the Sleeping Beauty story. The novel was a good read giving a different look at this age old tale. The ending is decent and it is a fun tale, just looking at about a 3 star story. Adventure story with a strong female lead however…
