Secrets of Camp Whatever V02 The Doors to Nowhere by Chris Grine

by Leave a Comment

In some ways book two of Secrets of Camp Whatever: The Doors to Nowhere is better than book one. Still, there are a few bumps (if it has been a while since you read book one, you might have forgotten a few characters or a story point or two), but overall, Willow and the gang are back for another fun adventure where everything is normal. So, what if there are vampires, elves, gnomes, scary spirit creatures, trolls, and werewolves? Willow has their family and friends, […]

Refrigerators have stories too

There is a fifth book in the Lady Pancake and Sir French Toast series. This treat is called The Great Caper Caper. Yes, you read that right, there is a not so pleasant caper in our midst, and they are going to get our Lady and Sir into a sticky situation. Josh Funk adds the humorous text; Brendan Kearney adds the humorous illustrations to the mystery you will read. When the light in the fridge is missing, everyone fears they will be in near darkness […]

When book two makes you get the other series and book one….

The Only Living Girl V02: Beneath the Unseen City by David Gallaher

by Leave a Comment

I missed that the book I had in my hand was a book two when I picked up The Only Living Girl V02: Beneath the Unseen City by David Gallaher. However, it was not as difficult to follow as you might think. Of course, the “previously on “The Only Living Girl” recap did assist me in knowing where I was, but it would have been much better to have read first the “The Only Living Boy” series (which seems to introduce not only a few […]

Delilah and Mr. Selim have some adventures

Delilah Dirk and the Turkish Lieutenant (V01) by Tony Cliff

Delilah Dirk and the King’s Shilling (V02) by Tony Cliff

by Leave a Comment

I have wanted to read Delilah Dirk books for some time. A few weeks ago, I went to the library to pick up a book I had on hold and came out with three others. Two were the first two in the series by Tony Cliff, Delilah Dirk and the Turkish Lieutenant (V01) and Delilah Dirk and the King’s Shilling (V02). I have since learned there is a third book, and I’m contemplating finding a copy. First, this is basically a “Sherlock Holmes meets Indiana […]

When fan fics get old

My Hero Academia: Team Up Missions 2 by Yoko Akiyama

by Leave a Comment

Sometimes with popular series, when the author starts branching out into side series’, it can get a little overdone. My Hero Academia: Team-Up Missions started out what felt like the fan fics they basically are but entertaining. This does mean you need to know at least something of he main series; in this case, I do. Volume 2 of the Team-Up Missions spin-off continues that effect but it’s not nearly as entertaining. Why? Because the scenarios and combinations just aren’t all that interesting, and in […]
