Prisoner of AzkabanThis was the first of the Harry Potter books I read. I had seen the first two movies and figured I would just pick up where they left off.This book is my favorite of all of the books in the series which made me so angry when the movie came out. There were... Continue Reading →

Chamber of SecretsThis is the last of the Harry Potter books I haven't read. I was a late comer to the series for my own reasons. I bought the 5th book on the day it came out as well as 3 and 4. I started at book 3 since I had seen the first two... Continue Reading →

Sorcerer's StoneI'm going to start this post and review being honest. I rated this book when I first joined Goodreads in 2010 but I have never read this book and I had no idea until recently. My son is almost 6 and my wife has been dying to read these books to him for a... Continue Reading →

 Candy and the CankersaurI'll be honest for a moment. My blog isn't all that popular and I get that, but I have fun doing that and that's all that matters to me. I use my blog to seek out advanced reader copies of books so I can feed my addiction for good books. This is... Continue Reading →

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 Composer is DeadI'm a fan of Lemony Snicket. I really liked the Series of Unfortunate Events books and had no idea that he did a children's picture book. A good Blogging friend of mine, Angie at Angela's Anxious Life, did a post called the Top Ten Most Unique Books and this was on it. I just got this... 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 →

Monkey Me and the Golden MonkeyI love to read to my kids when I get the chance. Lately I have been working 2 jobs, so I'm never home. I work six days out of the week, and four of those days I am at both jobs. I feel like such a horrible parent because I'm... Continue Reading →
