Veronica Mars“A long time ago, we used to be friends but I, haven’t thought of you lately at all.” That opening song has brought back so many memories, and I must ask that you please forgive me. I am about to really let my inner nerd out on this post. I remember when Veronica Mars... Continue Reading →
Monkey Me and the Pet ShowI love reading to my son. I don't get to do this very often but I love this time that he and I get to spend together. Awhile back I was fortunate enough to get approved for the first in this series by Schoolastic through NetGalley. My son and I loved it and... Continue Reading →
The Ocean at the End of the LaneI have not read much by Neil Gaiman, but he has been an author who has always intrigued me. I saw the movie Coraline and have the book still to read, and I have always been interested in his comic series Sandman. The first book of his I... Continue Reading →
The Raven BoysLately I have been trying to be more open to YA books. I really liked the Hunger Games series, and my wife is a big fan of the genre. We really enjoy talking about books together, so I want to know why she likes them so much. She reads some of the books... Continue Reading →
The Valley of Fear This marks my 100th Post on my blog, and I can't be more proud to post my first Sherlock Holmes review here. I have written many reviews on the Conan Doyle Holmes books as well as many Pastiches on Goodreads and Amazon, but this will be the first here. If I... Continue Reading →
The SilmarillionI'm not a big fan of the sci-fi or fantasy genre, but I love The Lord of the Rings books and the Hobbit. My dad read these books to me as a bed time story when I was nine. I loved the world of Middle Earth and all the different creatures that lived there.... Continue Reading →

Rocketeer and the SpiritThis is exactly what the title implies, Pulp Fiction. This was a lot of fun to read. I remeber when the movie The Rocketeer was first released. I watched that movie almost a hundred times before our VHS copy wore out. I loved the idea of being able to strap a rocket... Continue Reading →
Realm KnightsI have read a few of the Grimm Fairy Tales graphic novels, and I have liked them. When I read the description of this book and saw it was going to include Snow White, Captain Hook, Robyn Hood, Van Helsing and others I had to get it. I was fortunate enough to get this...

Confessions of a Murder SuspectI am not usually a fan of YA, but I was interested when I read this description and then saw it was a giveaway on Goodreads. I don't usually win those, but I had a good year and won this book also. I have enjoyed James Patterson in the past, so... Continue Reading →
