Shiny Happy People I have read a couple things by Clay McLeod Chapman and I really enjoyed them. When I saw he was writing a Young Adult Horror/SciFi book I immediately thought of my 12 year old daughter. I thought; this could be a great book for us to read together and have our own...

The GatesThis was a really odd book. I have heard good things about John Connolly and I have been anxious to read one of his books. Sadly since the only time I have is for audio books at work this was the only one I could find at my library. I had no idea that... Continue Reading →
The Bone MagicianBefore I read this book I judged a book by its cover. I decided to give The Black Book of Secrets a try. I liked that one a lot and was excited to see it was part of a series. I was a little less excited when I found out the next book... Continue Reading →
The Black Book of SecretsI saw this book on Goodreads and it sounded pretty good. It sat in my to-read list for awhile until I saw it available in audio at my library. I gave it a try and liked it. I didn't know what to think at first because it started off pretty bleak.... Continue Reading →
Blue Lily, Lily BlueThis is not usually the kind of series I would read but YA has kind of grown on me. My wife is a big fan of Maggie Stiefvater's and we saw her at a book signing a year or two ago. For me, meeting an author can really make or break a... Continue Reading →
Fury of the Seventh SonThis is it, the end of a great series. The ending could have been a little stronger but I was pleased with how well this wrapped up. From what I have read Joseph Delaney is starting a new trilogy with Tom that I am quite anxious to get a hold of. As... Continue Reading →
I am AliceAfter coming off the disappointing previous book in the series Slither, I was looking forward to getting back the the main characters. Little did I know at first that Tom wouldn't really have much of a role in this book either. However, I really didn't mind because I really like Alice and wanted... Continue Reading →
SlitherI took a little break from this series but I'm ready to finish and find out what happens to Tom, Alice, and the Spook. This is listed as the 11th book in the series but really it doesn't fit in the story line. Like the 9th book, Grimalkin the Witch Assassin, this is a stand... Continue Reading →
The Son of NeptuneI'm not sure I know what to say about this book that I haven't already said in my review for The Lost Hero. I still felt like I have read this book before because of the parallels between the Percy Jackson series and of course the first book of this series. I... Continue Reading →
The Lost HeroI really enjoyed the Percy Jackson series and both my wife and a friend of mine raved about this series. They liked this series better than the Percy Jackson one so I had high hopes. Well, I wasn't all that impressed. I knew going into this that it isn't going to be all... Continue Reading →
