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.

To say that Dakota Krout novels are my guilty pleasure would be spot on. This novel kept me pushing forward waiting to see what happens next. This novel reveals more about the dungeon’s history. Should be interesting what happens in the next two books. This book could be a series completion, but would leave the…

There are few books that are life changers. This is one of those books. This book makes you want to be better. It really puts into perspective the consumerism and lack of forgiveness that exist in our culture. Also, I feel we have become more partially present instead of being where we are. The three…

A book about the Salem witch trials and jealousy. I listen the the play done by the BBC staring Richard Dreyfus. If you get the chance I highly recommend it. This is an interesting time and speaks to how people can become overzealous and forgo logic and sound reasoning. This book / play will give…

This was a very interesting read. It reads like a discovery channel special. It talks about all the magic surrounding items discussed in the Harry Potter series. It was very interesting and delves into that unseeable world of magic. It struck me how the history of the creature plays into a lot of modern schools.…

This is the sequel to The House of Scorpion. Continuing the story we get to see the changing of the guard. As a stand alone it is not as good as the first book, but the writing was good. I did not like that the author killed off the guide character just to reinsert the…

Hopalong is at it again. Lucky beyond belief and a quick draw he is out to win the west. More criminals in this final of the four books in this series and it leaves little to be desired. Cassidy is uncovering plots and putting himself in harms way. I don’t live in the old west…

Book 3 of the Completion Chronicles. I still am very much enjoying this series. I wish the library had the next 3 books on audio. Might have to break down and get Kindle Unlimited to finish the next 3 books. Super fun series and keeps you guessing what will happen next. The pacing is very…

Book 2 and I am really enjoying this series. Still wishing I could play this game. Of course it looks like it would be a full time job. That aside if you are looking for just a fun read. Nothing too in depth as far as underlying messages. Just good old fashion hack and slash…

This book should have been how to stop and smell the roses. It was more a book about how to get back in touch with nature. The book had several exercises that would help you commune better with nature. In the high stress world we live in any chance to get outside of the hustle…
