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 3 of The Menagerie series. The final book in the series. This was a great wrap up to the whole series. It is great to see how the author was about to tie together all the hooks throughout the books. What a great finish. I highly recommend this series for your young readers. An…

Another Stephen King great book. I love how he left this. This is a great example of things that go bump in the night. Albeit a short book it is worth the read and probably the cleanest work he has done. Strongly recommended.

If you’ve read the whole series this little addition is a fun revisit to the parts that you loved best. Aside from that it is really like any other revisit meant it give fans a last glimpse of that world without plot or point. If you’re a big fan go ahead and enjoy another glimpse.…

Book 45 of Animorphs. This was a pivotal book. It is obvious the series is winding down. Lots of action and some huge movements in the plot. Crazy to think of the series coming to an end after this long. If you’ve been reading along, this is a can’t miss part of the story. Still…

This was a great read. A wonderful engaging plot line. Relatable characters. Harry Patter meets the X-Men. Unfortunately, it will be one I would rarely recommend mostly due to advocating underage drinking and crass language. Mr. Hayes is a wonderful writer, but I would only recommend to a mature audience due to language alone. Sadly…

This is a novel that will take you through the US during the 1960s. This is a work of fiction or is it? Steinbeck is such an amazing writer he leaves you feeling like you’ve been there. Charley breaks up the story and yet moves the story along. Even the truck feels like a character…

Boxcar Children book 64. This should be the Alden’s go to Hawaii. It is amazing that bad people are everywhere, even in paradise. The only part I did not care for in this book is that there really was no repercussion for evil heartless conglomerate. Overall a good read with numerous bad people.

Book 2 of the Mad Wolf’s Daughter. This was an interesting follow up to the series. This felt more like it should have just been a continuation of the first book as it did not seem to have a plot of its own. Aside from that, well worth the read to finish the story but…

This was a very fun adventure. A great example of the hero’s journey. I love that the main character is the youngest girl. Can she put aside her feelings and help the enemy to get her family back? Can this young girl actually succeed? I would recommend this little read for those loving fast paced…

Book 63 of the Boxcar Children. Peacock Hall is in trouble. Tax trouble and it will be taken by the county if the Aldens cannot figure out the secret treasure of Peacock Hall. Shady figures are everywhere offering money to buy the property and tear it down. Benny to the rescue. This is a fun…
