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.

Is this a perfect book? No. Do I think it should be a part of middle school reading? Yes. This book is smart use of our own intuition in possible bad situations. There is a bit of a rant at the end but aside from the rant, there is a lot of good information on…

Book 18 of the Boxcar Children. This was a fun one reviewing pollution and ways companies can be socially responsible and still turn a profit. I liked the idea that it isn’t environment or business but there is ways we can find to do both as long as owners can get behind doing the right…

Stephen King is a master writer. Each of the short stories were vivid and keep you deeply engrossed. It is hard to compare him with other works, aside from his deep dark themes, his prose sings off the page. The part that I find most intriguing is his ability to end a tale without a…

The third and concluding book in the Beyonders series. This series was good and the concluding book tied things together nicely. However it does not have me running out to get the next Brandon Mull book. Might I read other series by him in the future, possibly. But for now I will be moving on…

Book 7 of The Unwanteds. This was a great conclusion to the series. Albeit I thought it would go another way. That said if you can put up a dome to protect from the elements and you can create a hurricane, this plot hole was glaring and made the whole end 1/2 of the book…

Book 6 of Unwanteds. This is the second to last book in the series. Problems that have plagued the other novels in this series have been much better resolved in this book. The story felt more homogeneous and gave more insight to the world they live in. Albeit, we will have to see in the…

This was Unwanteds Book 5. The pacing was good through most of it. This book really felt like it was trying to figure out what to be. And in the end takes a good story and throws a confusing “time-bomb” element that really felt nearly pointless. I feel like there is a full plot line…

Animorphs book 15. Another sea adventure. Lots of moral dilemmas in this one. But it leaves us with a question if the Zerks now know they are human. The pacing is good. Yet another battle in a war that seems to have not really changed the over arching plot line. I am curious as we…

This is book 2 in Beyonders. There is a lot I like about this series. It is the genera of Epic Fantasy I struggle with. I always have to keep in mind that book 2 is the builder and you just have to push through it. The story isn’t bad but the middle drags just…

This is book 3 in the series The Way of the Shaman. I love these books. This is the third LitRPG that I have read. This one has great pacing and keeps you involved throughout. The plot is well thought out with plenty of twists and turns along the way. Basically if you’ve done any…
