This book has a lot to say, and it says it all over and over and over again. You will come away from the experience with no doubt about how the author feels about gender and sexual identity issues. If you aren’t exhausted by the relentless preaching, you might even…
When I was a kid, going to the library was the best treat I could imagine (except Disneyland, of course). Yes, I was a nerd. How could you tell? Imagine if I could have visited the one in this book: Escape from Mr. Lemoncello’s Library by Chris Grabenstein I was…
You ever accidentally outdo everyone and not even know it? It’s the best feeling, even if you just get to enjoy it from the sidelines. Watching Wanda alchemy… alchematize… do alchemy? Whatever, it’s like watching Secretariat blow past everyone on the track and just keep going. Roverpowered 4 from Drew…
Is it hard to come up with a new way to rave about another book in a great series? Who cares? It’s Drew Hayes + a cute dog. Bring it on! I’m going to be very serious now and tell you that Roverpowered 3 is a competent story written by…

What do you get when you mix a lawyer who is a little scattered with a suicidal angel? A little mayhem, a lot of nonsense, and maybe a bit of murder. That’s the story of this book, Curse the Day by Annabel Chase, and it works, for the most part….
Son of Tarzan by Edgar Rice Burroughs comes within a micrometer of edging out Tarzan of the Apes for top book in the series, and that is not something I say lightly. If you don’t know by now that I adore Tarzan, you’re either new to my orbit (welcome!) or…
Beasts of Tarzan by Edgar Rice Burroughs picks up the story about a year after the end of Return of Tarzan and features the same villains that plagued the first book. It’s a solid, but imperfect, continuation of the series, and worth reading. This is the first Tarzan book where…
Just in case this is the first Tarzan review of mine you’ve come across, let me warn you, I am an unapologetic fan of the man and his stories. Tarzan is, for me, what Star Trek or Star Wars or [insert culturally-relevant modern reference here] is to a mega fan….
