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 A Series Of Unfortunate Events. The orphans are shipped off to yet another guardian and Count Olaf has yet another scheme. Super fun twists and turns, but as the series states, another dark sad ending for the orphans. I do recommend this series for young readers.

You know I am going to love it if Malcolm Gladwell wrote it. This book is no exception. I loved the look at how the market moves and feel it to be pretty accurate in my own life. I know I am constantly looking to experts on what is the best product. The question now…

Book 1 of Game of Thrones. To start with. The book is well written with strong character voices and an in-depth plot structure. This book is for mature audiences and I would recommend that due to numerous adult themes. All that said I just did not enjoy this one. I am not huge of castle…

Book 2 of A Series of Unfortunate Events. A fun novel allowing the children to have a moment of happiness before it all becomes bleak again. Going through this series again I am pleased to still enjoy the clever bits it has. I love the fact that they are never automatically believed, seems a lot…

Book 5 of Spells, Swords, and Stealth. This was a good read. On Parker with the rest of the series. It feels strange to keep the secondary story alive as it feels to bare bones to fit in with the majority of the story. When the two stories come together I am sure it will…

A fun novel by a well respected author. It is no surprise to say this is a classic and no surprise it was made into a movie. This is a kid pleaser and I would highly recommend it for even reluctant readers. A fun adventure and great companions.

Book 1 of A Series of Unfortunate Events. This was a fun revisit as I have read it before. To me these books feel like Goosebumps written by Ronald Dahl. That said it is a good beginning to a series despite the title. These books are intentionally short and thus the weakest part is in…

I was really expecting this to be a good one. It shaped up to but but I feel it missed the opportunity. The story was good and the plot ran fine. Would just have liked to have seen the bad guy developed further. It felt like it was rushed. Overall decent.

Book 5 of the Unwanteds Quests series. This installment picks up where the last book left off. I do not know what it is about this series, but I am having a hard time finishing it. There are only two books left and it will be a push to get through those. Albeit I am…

Book 1 of The Alchemist series. I love the author’s writing style. These books are action packed and full of danger. My only complaint is that I would like to have explorered the Alchemist class and more about what could be done. The only other complaint is that everything else goes on hold while I…
