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.

Book 4 of Zom-B. This book begins to give us a background on what is going on. As we start to understand the two large forces at play. Although this has a much different ending to the others so far. This book was less action and more a builder book for the series. Also, our…

Book 3 of Zom-B. This continuation diverges a little from the previous books as B is mostly a loner in this one. This is interesting as we also see a racism dropped as a theme. The theme now seems more of self sacrifice. The changes are believable and we get really involved in her story.…

Book 2 of Zom-B. This feels much more like Cirque and a lot of the same existential questions are asked. We are moving into the meat of the series, but don’t think anyone is safe. I am really enjoying this, not safe for kids series. The book is action packed and continues to poke at…

Book 1 of the Zom-B series. This book is a great little horror book. I loved Daren Sham’s Cirque De Freak series and this book feels much the same yet darker. Very much a book about racism abuse and hate. The ending leaves me wondering about book 2. A good book but strong in the…

This book by Eoin Colfer and Andrew Donkin is a fictitious tale that could be a true story. Danger, greed, and hope battle n this journey from Ghana to Europe. This definitely addresses all the travesties that we see in illegal crossings and the motivations that people have to attempt them. It was an interesting…

Book 9 of How to Train Your Dragon. This book is the beginning of the end of the series. Finally we see Hiccup coming into his own. This book highlights his leadership and is a way the acceptance of the hero to his destiny, which is funny that it is happening 5 books in, but…

This is a book you read if you’ve read all the Artemis Fowl books and you are just really bored. I am not saying that this book is just to cash in on those fans of the series, but at least it is funny and if you have read all the books, it is a…

Book 8 of How to Train Your Dragon. This book gives us a lot of the history and in that it is a good setup book for finishing up the series. Only the end of the series is several books away. I am interested to see how the story evolves from here. We have our…

Book 7 of How to Tame Your Dragon. What starts out as a simple swim contest ends up with Hiccup and friends in a mess of trouble in pure Hiccup fashion. Super fun adventure that gives a nod to the Vikings visiting America. I loved the topic of hate breeding hate and making a decision…

This is classic Eoin Colfer style. What a fantastic short story. This story could have been twice as long and never had the punch this one does. There are a lot of subtle themes running through this but my favorite was the passing of one generation on to the next. And that as one generation…
