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 is a wonderful telling of the history of Halloween. In a similar style to Something Wicked This Way Comes we have some Halloween antics that mixes just right with the supernatural. Overall it is another classic by Ray Bradbury and teaches a lesson while being immensely entertaining. Good reading for middle grade up and…

Book 4 of the Myth Adventure series. Hilarity continues to ensue in this forth installment in the series. This has far less of our favorite pervect. But that is not to say that Skeeve is getting into any less trouble. A looming marriage, the mob, and a missing pervect are less he finds himself in.…

Book 2 of Redwall. The first book is great, but this second book deepens and makes us so excited to learn more of these simple woodland creatures. We get to learn more of the history of the beginning of Redwall. If you are looking for a series that is great for young readers this is…

This classic novel of a futuristic dystopian world shows us the dark side of perversion and religious extremism. Told from a woman’s viewpoint of being used as a womb we can see the way people are devalued as the standard have and have nots take advantage of the lower classes. Not so far fetched as…

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…
