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 23 of the Animorphs. This was not the all out fire fight that previous books have been. Did it have a skirmish? Yes. But mostly it was steeped in character development for Tobias. This was an excellent view of a teenage boy trying to figure out who he is. The author nailed that albeit…

This was book 4 in the Left Behind series. Still high paced action giving picture of life as we progress through the Book of Revelations. I enjoyed this one albeit I am uncertain how the twist they threw into this one lays out. You’ll have to see what you think. This book to me felt…

Book 3 of the Left Behind series. If you want a gripping story that will pull you along and yet be a convincing interpretation of the final days as outlined by the Book of Revelations then this series will keep you on the edge of your seat. I highly recommend it this far even if…

This is book 22 of the Animorphs. This book is very dark and is the end of the mini series. Although I really enjoyed it, I would warm younger readers again these three books until they could handle the dark subject matter. If I were to grade these three books against all the others so…

Book 21 of the Animorphs. This was as exciting as the last one. I like the overall theme of this mini part of the series. The last book and this one both ended in a “to be continued”. This is a new ploy by the author to get you excited for the next book and…

This is a very long read and worth every word. After spending 2020 talking about Covid this book sure has a lot of relevance. Such an interesting idea and moving characters. A lot of points to ponder that make this a gem. The plot keeps you reading and enjoying. Just remember to never trust your…

Book 20 of the Animorphs. Probably my favorite of the series so far. And the first to be continued. This was exciting and full throttle. The humor was good. The characters were not as whiny as usual and an overall good plot. Top of my top 10 for the series so far. I recommend picking…

Book 19 of the Animorphs. This was a great read. I love when a book gives you another way to think about a problem. This was such a book. For the series this one hits the top ten. If you’re reading through the series, do not miss this one. It was a definite breath of…

Book 19 of the Boxcar Children. This is a fun working adventure in a department store. It was pretty straightforward but I doubt the clues would have been as obvious to younger kids. This was a fun read and definitely a recommended read in the series.

This was a retelling of the old Rumpelstiltskin fairytale. It was a clever spin, but I had a hard time getting through it. I am not sure even why I struggled. While I was a huge fan of the Lunar Chronicles, this just did not engage me in the same way. This book does end…
