Dandelion WineOne of my favorite books is Ray Bradbury's Something Wicked this Way Comes. Every Halloween I read or listen to that book. It is a fun story that helps remind me of being a kid with an endless imagination. This book is just like that. As much as I like Ray Bradbury's books I... Continue Reading →
Today is my birthday. I have been blogging for over a year now and didn't bother with a Birthday post last year. Why write one now you might ask? The reason is because a lot has happened over this past year and I have changed. I figured I would share more about myself and let... Continue Reading →
Too Far GoneWhen last we left our band of zombie slayers they had just stumbled upon a community or people living behind walls to keep the undead out. We've been through this before. For those who have read the series all I have to say is "Woodbury". As much as everyone wants this new community... Continue Reading →

The Girl Who Loved Tom GordonI have been reading a lot of YA right now. Yes it is really just two series so all of the characters are the same. Between The Last Apprentice and the Percy Jackson series I have been getting the two confused at times so I needed to return to the... Continue Reading →
Grimalkin the Witch Assassin"Her trade is death and torture". What a quote, I wasn't sure how I felt about this book not being a Tom and Spook story until I read this line. Yes you read this right, this book isn't necessarily the next chapter in Tom's story, but it does answer come questions. When... Continue Reading →
WonderstruckI have sat here at my computer looking at the blinking cursor trying to figure out what to say about this book and I am just at a loss. There are some books that you don't expect to take your literary breath away and this childrens' book did that to me. My wife and I... Continue Reading →
The Battle of the LabyrinthThis book is a great example of how a great ending can make up for a slow story. I've read a bunch of reviews on this book, mainly because I was looking for inspiration, and so many people loved the whole thing. I found most of this kind of slow, not... Continue Reading →
