Artemis Fowl
Book 1 of Artemis Fowl. This was a great novel of a boy genius going up against the hidden world of fairies. It is a twist to the Harry Potter style story where our protagonist joins the hidden world. As we he is the villain. Sometimes it is fun cheering for the bad guy. I…

The Comic Book Mystery
Book 93 of the Boxcar Children Mysteries. This was a fun mystery about a serious topic of people forging other people’s work. With the advent of AI we are seeing a lot more of this with people using artists/authors good names to pass off work they never did. It is sad that this is not…

Book 1 of the Divine Seed series. I will start off by saying that I loved this book. For me it fired on all cylinders. There were areas I wish he would have explored a little more. But if you have read the Divine Dungeon series then you will love this one too. They are…
