One of my students recommended Don’t Get Caught to me and said it was pretty great. I’ll say that it was pretty ok. I enjoyed it well enough but I’m definitely not quite the audience for it anymore. I guarantee that had I read this in high school that I would’ve tried to start my own Chaos Club myself…but now? Not so much. Here’s some basic plot stuff: Max is pretty much a blend in kind of guy which is kind of good (he doesn’t […]
Sarcastic Kids are Good Kids
My son Tommy and I just finished reading Crimebiters 2 together and it was pretty cute. I was always partial to Nancy Drew, The Charisma series (girl spies! who are models! and can do cool stuff!) and (The New) Encyclopedia Brown books (now very old because I am very old) when I was a kid because I have always liked a good mystery. My son seems to enjoy a good mystery too because he brought this book home from his book fair along with […]

Belated Thanks (Cannonball 8 Book Exchange)
Before it becomes way to late to express my gratitude, I want to thank Alexis for the awesome books she sent as part of the Cannonball 8 Book exchange. Winger by Andrew Smith and Uprooted by Naomi Novik have been on my TBR list and high up at that. Now I have a good excuse to bump them all the way to the top. The Way of Kings by Brandon Sanderson is new to me, but I’m always looking for new fantasy series to jump […]

Thieves in Love
Fate’s Edge is the third book of The Edge series by Ilona Andrews. Kaldar Mar, cousin to Cerise from the previous book, is recruited by Lady Virai to retrieve a magical artifact stolen impossibly stolen from a literal Fort Knox type pyramid. If not retrieved, The Hand (bad guys) would have a devastating tool to wreak havoc in the Weird, Broken and Edge. Kaldar is a con man who loves a dangerous and challenging mission. That is his power – if you bet him to do […]
