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.

I love to read about why we do the things we do. This is that book. It talks about the positive and negatives. Right at the end it talks a lot about unrecognized habits and ways we can find the driver of that habit. The problem I had was when they start trying to say…

Book 38 of the Animorphs. This was of my favorites so far. There was some great destruction, but more than that we got to deepen Ax’s character. I do wish they would have added a new character to the team, but I guess not at this point. Lots of action and an exciting ending. I…

Book 8 of The Series of Unfortunate Events takes a drastic turn in a different direction. I am so excited that the author has broken formula and moved in a much different direction. Misfortune still follows the orphans, as does the crazy luck to get them out of hairy situations and right into worse. I…

Book 7 of The Series of Unfortunate Events. This one was more tragedy for the orphans. However it feels like the series is taking a new step based on the ending of this one. The book was a great example of “group think” and the dangers that can happen with mob mentality. If the series…

Book 6 of The Series of Unfortunate Events. Another set of guardians and another Olaf plot. This book was longer than the previous ones and there were more twists and turns, but result in a net zero ending. Looks like the orphans will be off to yet another guardian soon. Still loving the series and…

Why to bad things happen to good people? I wrote this book as a metaphor for 13 and up on dealing with tramatuc events in our lives. There is no magic wand to take away the suffering that we all go through when something unfortunate happens in our lives. How do we find our support…

Book 5 of The Series of Unfortunate Events. This was a fun boarding school focused novel. Nothing has changed in the story line, everything things are looking up, suddenly they get bad. This was fun and fast paced. The series still maintains a strong recommend.

This book was very different than what I imagined it to be. This book is more of a drama that a fantasy story. That said it is an intriguing story and keeps you engaged in the story. I do like how it is three stories that blend into one. Overall it is a recommend for…

Book 37 of Animorphs. This was a fun what ID novel if Jake was not there to lead. Super action packed with all out attack and little down time. Definitely one of those get through by the skin of your teeth stories. More than one of these would be unbelievable, but this ended up as…

Book 4 of A Series of Unfortunate Events. This was another fun read. Albeit no mention of child labor laws. Still the orphans breeding foisted on yet another relative who could not care less about them. This one is a tad more gory than previous ones yet still only about as sever as a Goosebumps…
