The Sea of MonstersIf I wasn’t hooked after the first book I definitely am now. With most of the character set up behind us in book one there was a lot more room for story and action. I couldn’t stop reading. When Percy returns to Camp Half Blood he finds that someone has poisoned the sacred tree... Continue Reading →

The Lightning ThiefWhy did I have to try a new series? My wife and a few of my friends have done nothing but rave about how amazing these books are. I saw the first movie and was only mildly interested back then. I needed a new audio book to listen to at work and the... Continue Reading →

Clash of the DemonsThis was an intense story for this series. A lot of emotional themes and some impressive battles made this one of my favorites of the series. Tom’s mother left for her homeland after the passing of his father a few books back. Now she has returned to ask Tom for his help... Continue Reading →

Warning, Opinions Ahead!!!I’m not one to rant and rave about things that upset me, especially on my blog.

Night of the Soul StealerQuestions answered and Secrets revealed; well sort of. There has been very little said about the Spook in the first two books, but in this one we finally get some answers to the questions that have been on my mind since the very begining. I really liked this book, mostly for... Continue Reading →

Curse of the BaneI was really impressed with The Revenge of the Witch so I couldn’t wait for this book to come in at my library. I am hooked and looking forward to all the other books in this series. Sometimes I like coming in late on a series because, it looks like the last... Continue Reading →

Revenge of the WitchFor someone who is not really a fan of YA I sure have read a lot of it lately.  In my defense I had no idea that this was teen fiction, and it was the only book I had on my to-read list that I could get from the library right when... 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 →
