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.

Battle Mage Farmer book 4. This was exciting and interesting wrapped in one and still Mr. Seth Ring does not fail to entertain. This book is what I hope a lot in the LitRPG genre takes note of. This is a clean series that I feel would appeal to the YA market without the parental…

Book 96 of the Boxcar Children. Not every mystery has to be nefarios and this is just a nice sweet one that is appropriate for even young readers. This was a super fun one and even though there are no bad guys, it still was great.

Three of heard phrase coined in this eternal WWII set novel. If you’ve ever watched Mash or other satirical military shows this is right up your alley. This classic is just as true to human behavior as it ever was. In the spirit of 1984, Fahrenheit 451, Animal Farm and others we see true human…

This was a short nonfiction narrative of the history of Utah. This felt less focused on the war and more on the political views from that time period. The book was an interesting read but the title felt a bit misleading. Overall if you are looking for a viewpoint of the history of the settling…

Book 2 of Monsterious. This was a delightful little mystery novel. Danger and intrigue ensue as babies begin to vanish. Our two young detectives are on the trail of the supernatural perpetrator. However there is a wonderful twist on this and is a satisfying ending for any middle grade reader. This series is slightly on…

This is a literal coming of age story. There is a lot of charm along with lessons that come during that awkward stage between child and adult. Albeit a tad technologically dated, I don’t think that this is much different than what children/young adults still go through today. There were a lot of good points…

This is a great look into the issues that black men face, even in today’s world. It is beautifully written and allows those of us who do not know that world intimate chance to see a different America. This gritty look at what he would call another world allows us to get into the mindset…

This is a life changing book of healing and learning acceptance of even yourself. I recommend giving this the time to see the author’s journey. Not that everyone could follow this journey but that there is a lot that can be learned. There is a difference in beliefs and yet a deep understanding of how…

Book 3 of the Myth series. Hilarity continues in this newest installment. If you’ve followed this far you know that trouble and unlikely situations follow Skeeve everywhere he goes and this is no exception. This series continues to gain momentum as we get to know the characters better and enjoy their antics. Don’t miss this…

I like this book as it talks about not trying to become lost in the crowd but standing up and being counted. There is some minor language. My favorite part was bucking the with us or against us trap that we see so prevalent around us. Recognizing that is a huge step of not falling…
