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 2 of Fayroll. This was a great second novel. A lot of setup hooks and preparation for the rest of the series. This book feels like a lot of ground work, but it surprises me that there are 12 books in the series right now. Although at least this book slowed down the insanely…

Book 1 of Feyroll. This Russian author has created a wonderful immersive RPGLit book that will keep you going right through the end. I am surprised at the level up speed as it almost felt like it was going too fast for believability. Aside from that, tremendous bad guys, good fight scenes, and strange quests…

Book 54 of the Boxcar Children. Something strange is a foot right after a hurricane. Pirates, Hidden treasure, and all. It is up to the Alden children to sort this mess out and right in the middle of the whole thing is a thief. Not to worry though they will have this solved before dinner…

This is the book that inspired the movie “Stand By Me” and if you’re a child of the 80’s a well loved classic. This book and the movie are very similar and was a pleasant stroll down memory lane. There are a few parts I could have done without. To me it is like the…

Book 53 of the Boxcar Children. Can you think of anything worse than stealing someone’s guide dog? I couldn’t. It is ok because the Alden children are on the case. This was a fantastic ride with some good red herrings. Maybe it was just that I really want this perpetrator caught. A quick happy story…

This is a varied collection of short stories that I believe are continuations from each author’s main body of work. To me it was like I was coming in the middle of the movie on each story. They were all well written but I think I need to spend a little more time with each…

Book 13 of a Series of Unfortunate Events. This is the end of the series and I feel it stayed true to the rest of the story. It was a nice close. I was curious how he would end this and am glad that he took this way to end it. I do recommend the…

Book 12 of The Series of Unfortunate Events. This was interesting. The orphans are in the middle of all the villains and good guys. They themselves seem to be straddling that line between good and bad. It will be interesting to see how it all ends in the next book.

Book 41 of Animorphs. This was a fantastic look at a possible future. This was unlike any in the series and still leaves you with more questions than answers. I like that at some level the author is addressing how hard a secret would be to keep inside a household. Regardless a nice dystopian feel…

Book 52 of the Boxcar Children. The Alden’s are off to look for the Lost Dutchman’s Mine. We’ll at least they’re the area. The formula is still working well with plenty of red herrings and suspects along the way. Well written and a little different scenery than normal but they still get their bad guy.
