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 was defiantly not in the target audience for this book. I found it dull, confusing, and way too long for nothing to happen. This is not to say people who love epic fantasy will not like it. But I am not a huge fan and this book would not be the key to making…

This was my favorite of the Animorphs so far. The story is hitting stride. The pacing was good with no unbelievable save right at the end. We also get to know more about the Yeerks. The message to this one felt stronger than the last 5 books. Again this series is a good choice for…

Book 2 of the Spiderwick Chronicles. This was just as fun and fast paced as the first. Still I recommend these books to reluctant readers as they are very short and packed with adventure that pulls you through the story. So far recommend you read the. In order to understand the story.

This is the first book of The Spiderwick Chronicles. Right away the story grabbed me reminding me of Artemis Fowl. These books are extremely short, but I feel would appeal to the reluctant reader as they have good pacing. There is a reason for their fame. At least that is what I think so far.

Another or the Animorphs series. Overall, I am enjoying the story. The author has not hit stride and there are still some parts I assume but wish were better explained. In the series this book was better, but the author is so worried you might start in the middle that I wish I could skip…

This is a classic story. If you have not heard about it, I believe you must be living under a rock. This book has great pacing and really weaves in bible to the story. The voices are very distinct and the plot is engaging. I would recommend this one is a strong read. I am…

This is book 4 of the Animorphs. I have been expecting for these books to get significantly better. They are still a little clunky with the pacing. They are good books but still need that little something that makes it great. All said it is still on the recommend list.

The Boxcar children have a new mystery on their hands. A fun winter cabin adventure. This is not among my top favorites of the Boxcar series. However it was a fun adventure that would key into those young readers out there. If you love short quick adventures then reading about the Boxcar Children is for…

Another of the Animorphs. Still a fast pace middle grade series. This was, so far in the series, the best. The author has hit stride and got pacing right and excitement. If you have hung in there so far, you will be glad you did. The books are stand alone enough you could pick up…

Final releases book of the Alex Delaware series. This is definitely what you would expect at this point in the series. One of the top of the series so far. The funnest part of this was the process on a super cold case. This one has twists and turns right to the end. If you…
