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 10 of A Series of Unfortunate Events. This book picks up with the orphans in immediate danger. As usual they will have to use there particular talents to get out of this one. They meet some new friends/enemies and we revisit some old faces. Overall a solid book in the series. Excited to get…

Book 9 of the Series of Unfortunate Events. This one was filled with even more misfortune. The best part is the reversal of roles as it is not Count Olaf in disguise this time. Lots of near misses but still ends up on a very literal cliffhanger. Excited to see if we can get even…

Book 48 of Boxcar Children. This was a mystery about a mystery writer. Ok that was just fun to say. The overall mystery wasn’t terrific but had a cloak and dagger feel to it. The mystery was more about what it was that the person wanted with a couple of people suspects. Strange coincidences made…

Book 2 of Battlemage Farmer series. Loving this LitRPG series. It is different than others but I still really enjoy it. Cannot wait to read book 3. If you want to try out this genera this would be a good series that is a little more fantasy and lighter of the pretty standard RPG elements.

The movie follows this book pretty well. I still felt closer to the characters in the book than I did in the movie. Highly recommend you read this book as it has some great perspectives and thought processes. I truly see this book as a modern classic and think it should be required reading in…

The famously written work by Stephen King that he says he does not remember the bulk of writing. I felt like there was a difference in this to his other works with a lot more of parts where very little seems to happen. It is woven together masterfully and leaves you knowing it was King’s…

Book 47 of the Boxcar Children. A decent Mystery about someone trying to sabotage a new business in town. Lucky the Boxcar Children are in the case. This was a fun short adventure that highlights the fun sport of hot air ballooning. The metaphor of people sabotaging things because they are afraid of change is…

Book 46 of the Boxcar Children series. The old ice cream parlor is the center of this mystery. Between cream missing and stuff being left out it seems that someone has it in for the new owner. Although it has plenty of twists the ending on this one felt too contrived. Another story of there…

This is a prequel novel to the hunger games that gives is insight into the person of President Cornelius Snow. I get that he is the villain. But, the about face the end of this book does feels artificial. A lot of the book is dry so I only recommend this to avid Hunger Game…

Book 45 of the Boxcar Children series. This was great, a perfect amount of possibilities (red herrings) but they felt more reasonable aside from the whole, I’ll take a priceless object home with me and forget where I put it. Still was a fun read.
