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.

The next Goosebumps SlappyWorld novel. Also stand alone. This one is fun with its twists and turns. If you’re a fan I don’t have to sell you on this one. This is fun with robotics and takes a different turn than I expected. A fun little read and about average for scary for someone age…

Book 6 in the SlappyWorld series. Also stand alone albeit it would like to see a sequel to this one. I enjoyed the characters and would like to see a resolution to the feud(s) with them all in danger of Slappy. But we will have to see. This book defiantly answers what is worse than…

The next in the SlappyWorld series. Again stand alone and entertaining. Definite elements that don’t quite fit together but for the age they would go unnoticed. It is another tale hosted by Slappy but he does not appear in the story. I am hoping like in previous series he pulls all the stories together in…

Back to SlappyWorld. These are stand alone novels so far, it will be interesting to see if the next one ties together or if it will be stand alone again. Warning – vomiting and monster scenes. For a young kid I do think this would be terrifying for anyone else it is another Goosebumps story.…

Another novel from SlappyWorld. This is a fun fast read. I love how the author does the pacing in these books. They are quick and to the point. This one is a little explosive but if you’re a fan, I would recommend continuing with this series.

Plunging back into the underworld we follow Gregor the warrior as he battles his way through another prophecy. Only no one wants to tell him what this one is. Lots of familiar faces return both good and bad. If you’ve followed the adventure up to this point then this one will be very familiar and…

This is part of the SlappysWorld spin off from Goosebumps. A small quick read and a fun pirate adventure. Slappy does some commentary but does not appear in the actual novel. If you’re a Goosebumps fan then read on and enjoy.

This is an alternate history of Disney’s Aladdin story. It broaches the question of Aladdin never getting the lamp. It focuses more on the “street rat” angle of the story. It is darker but still manages a happy ending. Be warned there are killings and torture talked about but neither in great detail. I would…

I must confess I never saw the movie so I have not idea how it compares. First warning this is what I would consider either high PG-13 or R. Leaning mostly toward an R rating. This book is very slow at the first and I almost quit several times but it was recommended to me…

Must better escalation, but still leaves you without a big payoff. This story is reminiscent of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, with a strange vampire twist. Excellently done and kept the pages turning. Hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
