| "Harry Potter and the Art of Spying" was a cute book that combines actual info about spying with an analysis of Harry Potter. A bit of an odd marriage, but it mostly worked. The spy info was interesting enough, although my personal favorite parts wer ...more | |

| I am not a natural teen-romance reader, and it's still not my preferred genre, but I have recently started playing D&D so I thought I'd give this a try for a change of pace. This book was fine. More "drama" than "dungeons" for my taste, but there's s ...more | |

In the very central core of this book is a pretty solid premise: a humorous allegory of high school as told by a dragon. I imagine after pitching that central premise to the editor, the editor said, "Okay. What else will be in this book?" And the auth ...more |

"Red Rabbit" was a book that had potential but ultimately fell short. The characters are mostly fine; certainly dynamic although there's just too many of them (every location has a new group of spies and they all blur together). I did like Zaitzev, he ...more |

| I enjoyed "The Mystery Knight' graphic novel. Like in the previous volumes, Ser Duncan and Egg are both great, and there's some good new characters are well, like Ser Kyle the Cat, Ser Glendon, Ser Uthor the Snail, and Ser John the Fiddler (however, ...more | |

The Hero's Guide to Saving Your Kingdom (The League of Princes, #1)
by Christopher Healy (Goodreads Author) |
|
| This book was a fun re-telling of the classic fairy tale myths, told through the point-of-view of the "Prince Charmings" who are otherwise very wooden, but here Liam, Duncan, Gustav, and Frederich are all dynamic: they have their strengths, they have ...more | |

| "How to Be a Kingdom Ninja" is a cute book; it's my son's and we like to watch American Ninja Warrior and Daniel Gil has been one of our favorites for awhile. The artwork is simple but effective, and the text has a lot of interesting Bible verses and ...more | |
