Son of Tarzan Beasts of Tarzan Return of Tarzan Talking to Dragons Just Stay Away

Son of Tarzan

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...

Beasts of Tarzan

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...

Return of Tarzan

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...

Talking to Dragons

Talking to Dragons was the first book Patricia C. Wrede wrote in the Enchanted Forest Chronicles, and it was never meant to be the capstone...

Just Stay Away

It’s always funny to me when authors write books about authors. Tell me you’ve never had a real job without telling me you’ve never had...

Review: Mind Tryst

by Robyn Carr Mind Tryst I have read quite a few Robyn Carr books over the years and find her to be a consistently good author of contemporary romance. As often happens I discovered her in an Christmas romance anthology and liked her writing so much that I sought out…

Friday Check In

I have been enjoying writing and posting my book reviews here. This poor blog was so neglected for so long that it has been a joy resurrecting it. It has also given me a reason to think more deeply and write with more analysis about the books I read and…

Review: You Are More Than Enough – You Are Magnificent

by Ganel-Lyn Condie You Are More Than Enough – You Are Magnificent I recently took a public speaking class and one of the other students did a speech on self compassion. She talked about how we attack and hurt ourselves in ways that we would never do to friends, families,…

Review: How do I Know If I Know?

by John Bytheway How Do I Know If I Know John Bytheway, besides having the cutest name since Picabo Street, is a fantastic speaker on LDS matters. No matter what subject he tackles he always inspires and uplifts his readers/listeners. I have been away from the church for quite awhile…

Review: Head On

by John Scalzi Head On Some authors write good books once in awhile with clunkers in between. Anne McCaffrey, for instance, with all of her brilliance, still managed to pump out some really bad fiction. I’m looking at you Petaybee. Then there are the authors you can rely on to…

Review: Wait, What?: And Life’s Other Essential Questions

by James E. Ryan Wait, What?: And Life’s Other Essential Questions I’m a sucker for inspirational, self-help books, especially those with a practical approach. This one hit nicely in that sweet spot between helpful and entertaining. This started as a graduation speech the author made at the Harvard School of…

Review: Dungeon Calamity

by Dakota Krout Dungeon Calamity The second book in this series was the strongest. The first book suffered from excessive world-building but in the second one, the author found his footing and really got things moving. He built up great momentum and introduced a credible threat that challenged both the…

Review: Dungeon Madness

by Dakota Krout Dungeon Madness So often the second book in a series is a let-down and you realize the author didn’t have more than one idea to explore. Other times the second book picks up where the first one left off and is even better. This book is one…

Review: Dungeon Born

by Dakota Krout Dungeon Born Are you a 12-14 year old boy who loves sitting on Grandma’s old couch in Mom’s basement munching on Doritos, arguing about how to build the perfect dungeon? Have you ever thought, wow, this is so much fun, I should write a book about it?…

Review: Painting Kisses

by Melanie Jacobson Painting Kisses Lia Carswell is an Artist with a capital “A.” She’s not your average dabbler, no, she’s an artiste! I got really tired of hearing how she paints what she feels and everyone who sees her paintings practically faints with admiration. She’s the kind of painter…
