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.

This was a biography of the President of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. The writing was done in episodes detailing specific topics to tell you more about the man behind the office. If you want to know more about a revolutionary heart surgeon, who became a prophet this is a fabulous…

If you are an old school Scooby Doo fan this is a twist on that. Even to the point of trying to make the characters feel then. Albeit there is a considerable amount of cussing. I wanted to enjoy this book and did not hate it. But the thing that made Scooby Doo so amazing…

I am a huge fan of the Lunar Chronicles. This is a great backstory to Alice in Wonderland’s Queen of Hearts. If you’ve read the others then you will love this one. Even though it is a 2.5 book in the series, it is not necessary to read to enjoy the regular series. Although I…

This is a funny look at the coming Anti-Christ. Fun to see an angel and devil working together. So much of this clever little book was plotted well. The end felt a little rushed and I would have liked to have a little more views of young Adam. But all in all it was worth…

This is book 5 is the Miss Peregrine’s Peculiar Children series. Fast paced and exiting with a little love interest mixed in. This one was a fun read, if you’ve enjoyed the Peculiar children so far. However it does leave you knowing there is a book 6. I have not researched it but I expect…

Not a high ranking on this one because I am not a huge fan of fan fiction. This is a collection of short stories in the Magnus Chase universe that is written by various authors. If you are a die hard fan then read it. Otherwise you will not miss out if you miss this…

This is the third installment of the Cirque de Freak series. If you have read the first two books of the vampire’s apprentice then you’ll enjoy this brief read. Darren is bumbling through his role as best he can when he finds out that there is more to the vampire world than he thought. Including…

This is the fourth book in the Trials of Apollo series. If you’ve followed the Percy Jackson series as I have this spinoff series is just as fun to read. Old friends are back and things are just as dire as ever. Obviously I enjoy Rick Riordan’s writing and if you do too, make sure…

If you enjoy the peculiar tales you will enjoy this series of short stories. They are not necessary to enjoy the regular series. I was hoping for it to be tales to enlarge the full cast but it isn’t. Enjoyable nonetheless.

Before Hunger Games, Suzanne Collins wrote Gregor the Overlander. While her writing has gotten better as she has grown as an author, this is still a good read. Definitely a middle-grade book with lots of adventure and wonder making it a fun little read. If you are up for a New York crossover of Alice…
