Book reviews of books I have enjoyed.
Maren Klement It made sense in their strange kind of way. It was those moments that Alex could understand people who’d told him to be careful when dating a soldier as they could be peculiar people. What is it like to welcome home a soldier who has seen and done things he can’t speak of […]
MoreCharles Franklin “All these impossible tasks. Find Bliss. Replace Thomas. And now, another one. Kidnap a Saetos child.” I have read the first book in the budding Anistemi series, The Children of the Forgotten. A Search For Bliss is a prequel short story that will leave you wanting more.

MoreRoald Dahl “Occasionally one comes across parents who take the opposite line, who show no interest at all in their children, and these, of course, are far worse than the doting ones.” “Make sure everything you do is so completely crazy it’s unbelievable.” I have been planning to read all of Dahl’s work for some […]
MoreLouis Sachar “His parents couldn’t afford a lawyer. “You don’t need a lawyer,” his mother had said. “Just tell the truth.” Stanley told the truth, but perhaps it would have been better if he had lied a little.” Holes is on Time’s 100 Best YA lsit. I was able to borrow a digital copy from my […]
