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.

Sometimes the books that become movies surprise me and this is one of those times. It was a fun read but I don’t see why it became such a hit. I am sure I am in the minority, but this is not a top ten book for me. Nor is it a strong recommend. There…

This was book 4 of the Unwanteds series. I did enjoy this novel and felt it brought the whole world into better focus. Less silly coincidental things happening. Lots of action. This was well done and I think YA would love the read. The only complaint I could have would be that it wants to…

Book 3 of the Unwanteds. I did enjoy this book. There were numerous things too keep focused on however even sidetracked seemed to have a purpose. Almost a little too good to be true coincidences. The pacing was good and kept the story on track. Lots of familiar faces and deepening of characters. There were…

Boxcar Children #17 this was not my favorite. There was nothing wrong just cannot get that excited over the subject matter. This was not in my top 10 but was fine and I would still recommend it to those young readers out there.

This was book 2 of the Unwanteds series. Nothing unusual / unexpected. That’s not to say there are good twists. But this is what I expected to happen to move the overall plot along and it no surprise f you’re familiar with the hero’s journey. That said, I am most interested in where the series…

Animorphs book 13. To start with, I am excited to write this review. This book was great. It hit on all levels. Even though this is stand alone, the emotional payoff is far more impressive. So far in the series this is the top book. This books explains a lot more and gives us greater…

First book in this fantasy / dystopian future novel. Well written, kept me engaged. Albeit exciting, it is a fun world and I am excited to see where the book series goes from here. I have to believe with a series this long that it will get a stronger plot line, not saying this was…

This was a well written non-fiction book talking about the science behind dinosaurs. The author is good to give us insights as to what science is and is not. Albeit the is a little soap boxing l, most of the book is very interesting. This is a subject that still has years if not decades…

This is the second book on the Left Behind series. I love the writing, it is engaging and fast pace while weaving in various scriptures. Definitely looking forward to book 3. This book is an important step in the hero’s journey. You will understand as you read it. I will be interested to see where…

Book 3 of the Atlee Pines series. This book mirrored a lot of book 1. Corruption from high up, cover ups, and lots of people dying. I find it an interesting choice that other authors I have read with a male instead of female protagonist they would be extremely promiscuous. Even though she keeps meeting…
