FrozenI can't lie. I really enjoy Disney movies. It is one of the many things I have never grown out of, but now I have an excuse to watch them. I have kids. I'm also secure enough in my manhood to say that I really enjoyed Tangled. At the time I was a big fan... Continue Reading →
FirestarterI'm a big fan of Stephen King and I would like to think I can be considered a "Constant Reader". It was only a few years ago that I really got into his books and now I am on a mission to read everything by him. Whenever I need a new book to read and... Continue Reading →
The Dream ThievesIn an earlier post for The Raven Boys, I mentioned that my wife and I got to meet Maggie Stiefvater at a book signing. She is a really funny and approachable person, and that makes me want to read her books even more. I finished The Raven Boys and thought is was pretty... Continue Reading →
Green Arrow Vol 4I have always liked Green Arrow. He isn't one of my favorite superheroes, but I always had respect for the character. He is very much like Batman when it came to having billions of dollars and cool gadgets, but Oliver Queen always seemed like the opposite of Batman. Queen seemed to love... Continue Reading →
The TurningI didn’t know what to expect from this book, nor did I really have high aspirations for this book right from the start.

I didn’t hate this series, but for me, my ratings of these books just keep dropping. I liked... Continue Reading →

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 →
