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 one is a mid series builder. Not to say that there was not plenty of action in this one, but it felt like it was laying the ground work as it opened up several directions the story could go and then did not do anything with them. Overall, still a strong read. Be aware…

The adventure and chapter count continue. More unbelievable monsters, epic fights, and great nonstandard solutions. As deadly and crazy as ever the plot note thickens. There is much more to this game than the players know. Reminiscent of Tower of Power and Tower series. It am excited to see how this deepens as the world…

This continues our escapades of White Raven as he finds new and interesting ways of solving the puzzles in the game. The storyline continues to get more and more chaotic as new problems, stresses, and quests are brought in. Overall, a pleasant read albeit there are a few rough spots in translation. As always please…

This continuation takes a strong turn into psychological thriller. Not quite, but leaves you with a lot to think about. The translator only has a couple of odd things, none of which were more than a bit of awkwardness. Good story fun challenging and in this book we start to see skills advance. Excited for…

Book 1. This fun RPGLit book, albeit it is a translation, the translation is very well done. There were only a few very minor spots that you might notice, but overall it is well done. The main premise of playing a game for the money to send your sister to school meanders to him wanting…

Villains Code book 2. This book draws you in and keeps the story ever moving forward. Lots of action and character development. I enjoyed every step of the one. I love the underlying premise of what do you stand for. I like that villain doesn’t necessarily mean evil. I love how the story blends the…

Book 133 of the Boxcar Children. This is a spooky mystery with a happy ending. The concept of the twist makes this a fun lighthearted mystery with an underlying warning that even when you are doing what you see as right, you can be besmirching someone’s reputation and causing many unseen problems. When you do…

If you’ve never read these, take the time and do it. There is so much wisdom to be gleaned. This is not my first time through these, but I learned much more now at my older age than I did when I was younger. I am even trying to figure out how I can add…

This was another Goodreads challenge books. This however was my favorite of the challenges so far. This is an adult themed book and does lean on the romance genre and so there are a couple of scenes that could have been mellowed a bit and there is a little profanity. All in all it is…

This book was a challenge book by Goodreads. To me it was reminiscent of A Tree Grows in Brooklyn. While the setting and style are not my preference, I did enjoy this one. This to me speaks more about the circles of our lives and how we approach the hand we are dealt. Overall, love,…
