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 51 of the Boxcar Children. This book was full of twists. Wonderfully put together. Loved the guy in the disguise. Loved the intention. This book was a strong representation of the mystery genera. I liked it.

Book 11 of the Series of Unfortunate Events. This was another in the series that takes us deeper into the misfortune. This was great as it had some fantastic twists. I am excited for the final two books in the series. For such a short book, this felt like a lot was covered.

A great read. The Hunger Games before the Hunger Games were ever thought about. A dystopian future where there are no happy endings. If you want to experience what the true Hunger Games would be like, pick this up. I love the concept of doing something to keep people from realizing how bad it really…

Book 39 of Animorphs. This was probably my favorite of the whole series. This one posed some very deep philosophical questions. And while the answer to the question was taken out of their hands, I wish there had been a different resolution. Overall this book will have you thinking well beyond that last page.

Book 49 of the Boxcar Children. This time it is personal. Someone has stolen the boxcar and the Aldens need to figure out who. Loved this one. Lots of red herrings and a perfect conclusion leads to a great story and this one nailed it. This is in the top 10 for the series and…

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…
