I used to read many books throughout the week. Now, it seems, time has interrupted this process. So, as of today, I'll start something new and add the book titles I've read here and a few thoughts...

November 2014
Happy Slumbers Tom Lichtenberg This is the series of about Dragon Alley. I cannot remember if it is the third or fourth. I think the third. I enjoy these tales of the unknown. These are written in a younger readers fashion and could be read by those in middle school up. Worth it.

On the Run
Lorena McCourtney
The third in the Ivy Malone Series. I truly enjoy these funny, clean, and intelligently written tales. Definitely worth it. In fact, just purchased #4 in the Series.
Sam's Teach Yourself Unity Game Development in 24 Hours Mike GeigThis one is awesome. It tells it like it is. I really like the flow of this and am looking at using it for four classes. The downside is the book utilizes the C# Language and I teach the Javascript Language. I could change this and easily incorporate the language. Will research others and think about this aspect. Worth it.
~~~ *** ~~~
September 2014
I've been reading a lot of textbooks to review for classes I am building as well as thinking of rebuilding. I'll start adding these here as well.
Video Game Development with Unity Course I Bruce Kirkpatrick This is the text we use now. It is not to the version of Unity the students use and can be confusing for them. I've gone through to find the components which do not match up and have made a file based on these changes. We'll use this book once more and I'll be replacing the text with something different. This is a good book though...Worth it.

The Energy of Happiness
Don NenningerAnother How-To book on gathering energy to make happiness. This is basically a common sense kind of thing...If you are into How Tos...read it...If not...Let it go ;-D
Marked Kim Richardson

Dress for Success
Voice Writer
This is a tale by someone who probably writes with their voice. As the Author's name may imply. It was adult in nature and not the best I've read through the freebies on Barnes and Noble...Save yourself some time here. Always hate to say that about something someone took time to write...
Ghost in the Wall Tom Litchenberg
Another by Mr. Litchenberg. This one really got you to think about what was happening in the story. Very short and very deep. Worth reading.

J Dean
A very short tale of suspense. The story starts very innocently and ends with the reader wondering if the star attraction had a dream of if the nightmare is just beginning. Great read before bed...Sweet Dreams ;-D
Prisoner of Perfection Tom Lichtenberg This was the second in a series. I am reading the tales backwards. It will be ok. Seems just like watching Star Wars ;-D Anywhoooo. You know my likes of this author by now. If you have young children at home, they may enjoy this...and they are FREE.
The End of the Line Tom Lichtenberg This was the third in a series. It seemed I misunderstood and started with this one. As always, this author writes to a younger audience (in my considered opinion). These books are still good and quick reads when looking for something that can be started and stopped without confusion. Worth it ;-D
~~~ *** ~~~
May 2014
Dragon Town
Tom Lichtenberg
This was the third in a series. I seemed to have missed number two...A very fast read with a crazy ending. It is meant more for the younger reader. It seems all his book are FREE. Worth the cost ;-D
An Introduction to Meditation Mr. Jeremy Smith Another "how to meditate" book. They all follow the same philosophy. To just begin and begin slowly if needed. This one also shared different ways to relax yourself.
Abandoned Vanessa Finaughty Another quick read. Very short tale of suspense and terror. Worth a quick look.
Apathetically Ever After Mia Darien A very short 25 pager. Possibly good for young teens.
~~~ *** ~~~
April 2014
The Ice Diamond Cuff (Custodial Novel #4)
Alison Pensy
The last of this series. Very short book, about 250 pages...I think the whole series could have been one large book. Just my considered opinion. A great tale for young readers. Very "clean". If you have teenagers who like fantasy, this is a good, affordable series.
The Cypher Wheel (Custodial Novel #3) Alison Pensy I decided to complete the series of tales by this author as I have read the first two. This is a short book, about 222 pages. Can be read in one sitting. Same as the other two. There are areas that really intrigue the reader and a few that could use a little "something". I am not an author so cannot really figure this out...If you start the series...GO ahead and finish. I have one more to go...
Hostile Witness Rebecca Forster This book was about a lawyer and her efforts to show the court that a young girl with OCD is innocent of murder. Apparently this is the first in a series. I did not know this. I enjoyed the story very much. About 750 pages of quick reading. I may even get the next in line ;-D
~~~ *** ~~~
March 2014
The Blood that Bonds
Christopher BuechelerJust another vampire read. It was pretty good. Not sure I'll pay for the second in the series...We'll see. It was a quick read and worth the cost...FREE.
~~~ *** ~~~
February 2014
In Plain Sight (Ivy Malone Series #2)
Lorena McCourtney
This is the second in the LOL (Little Old Lady) series. It's fun to read a mystery novel with no cursing and hints of Jesus Christ. This "Sleuth" is like none you have ever read about. There were a few areas that made no sense when you think of persons and their ages...Anyway...I bought #3 to read later.That's how much I enjoy the "escape".

January 2014
Sneaky Tricks for snagging dates and meeting people
John Harold McCoy
I thought this book was hilarious. I mean, the author even knew he was presenting a topic that should be common since. Very quick read...and if you are a teen, maybe read it now.
Escaping the Matrix Edwin Harkness SpinaInteresting, quick read on how we are trapped in our own world. Steps on how to start focusing on what is our true inner voice. This book helps to distinguish between the ego and the higher self. Worth the read.
Shut the Fuck Up and Create Your Fucking Art Garrett Robinson
He actually says that! Talk about in your face. The author states that there really is nothing stopping each one of us from creating and presenting our work in this day. It's short and a quick read.
~~~ *** ~~~
December 2013
An Introduction to Meditation
Sarah Haywood
Another self help book to set me on the right track. This one states what all the rest do. There are some great ideas for visuals in helping specific areas of your life. It's FREE and worth at least a once over...
The Art of Saying No Charlene Richard
This is one that tells the same tale of how to say no and feel good about. Saying no without guilt. They all (books about saying no) say the same thing; however, it's always good to remind yourself how and when ;-D
Ready Player One Ernest Cline
This is the first novel by Cline and I can tell you it was a great read. It took me a LONG time to read the book below this one. Ready Player One went a lot quicker! Of course, the topic is what I like...Virtual environments and gaming. I am not a gamer; however, I teach Video Game Development. It interests me as how these two computer generated worlds can bring teaching and learning to a whole new arena. The tale here is a of a young man and his trials and tribulations of trying to find an "Easter Egg" hidden within the Oasis by its creator. The finder is awarded the world and a great deal of money. The tale brings to you greed, battles and in the midst...a love story. This is worth the read ;-D
Pride and Prejudice Jane Austin
One of "the classics". It was a tough read for me as it is not one of the genres I lean toward. I've been trying to go through a few to understand why they are classic. This one took me on a journey of how women were in earlier days. How they perceived themselves and others. What their role was...Interesting history for me. I'd say it's worth reading once ;-D
~~~ *** ~~~
November 2013
Trends in Educational Technology (Fifth Edition)
Donald P ElyOK. This one was a bathtub read. It just states the obvious in the world of technology as it relates to 2002. I'd have to steer you in a different direction if you want trendy educational technology ;-D
Talent is Overrated: What Really Separates World-Class Performers from Everybody Else
Geoff ColvinThis one goes into scientific study behind how we process out thoughts to achieve goals. In a quick sentence, it means practice, practice, practice. It was interesting to read ;-D
~~~ *** ~~~
October 2013
The Labyrinth
Kenneth McDonald
Interesting story. Very "Harry Potter" like. It kept me interested enough to finish. You might enjoy. The price is right ;-D
Veiled Eyes C.L. BevillI could have sworn I wrote about this tale last month...Guess not. This was a world of mystery, mythical, and magical beings. It is an easy read and by an author I have read before. This person can write great tales that create visuals that bring you into the world you are reading about. There were a few parts in this that I could have done without...That's just me. It's worth the FREE read folks. I'll be reading more from this author...Maybe the "Bubba" series though...
~~~ *** ~~~
September 2013
Bonded Nicky Charles
This is the first of a series I read waaaaayyyyy back in January. The story is about "weres" and how they function in society without humans knowing they exist. They have some great parts in the story and some not so great. It's an easy, quick read and if you enjoy tales of creatures, it's worth the read. Please note there are sexual acts involved within these tales. Wolves are unique in that way ;-D
A Feast of Flesh: Tales of Zombies, Monsters, and Demons Aaron Polson
This was full of several short stories. True to its title, there were ghouls galore. Some were better than others. Those that were "good" could indeed scare the crap out of you! It's FREE. Go ahead and Read ;-D
~~~ *** ~~~
August 2013
The Unsuspecting Mage (Morcyth Saga Series #1)
Brian S. PrattInteresting tale of two worlds which collide. I found myself at times wondering how the character gained so much "knowledge" in his short time within the mythical world. It was a good read and I couldn't wait to read more each day. Not sure if it was good enough to purchase the next series...We'll see what the future holds.
~~~ *** ~~~
July 2013
War of the Worlds
H.G. Wells
Wow! Why hadn't I read this one before?! What a great book. The vivid words took you through the tormented hell of the first narrator. I can say this is a great read if you have not experienced it before.
The Life Codes Patty Harpeneau
This read as a lesson from another realm. Nice information. It seems to be "code" we could all live by. This is worth a look at and worth really contemplating on what you have read. It could become a better world.
~~~ *** ~~~
June 2013
The Thirteenth Unicorn
W. D. Newman
This one was well written. It is a tale for younger readers; however, I thought any age could love this one. It had all the "magic" you could have in one tale. There were elves, dwarves, shape shifters, witches, goblins and more! It was a wonderful story. In fact, I can't wait to find out what else happens in Ben and Casey's world ;-D
The Hunter Jason PinterI was not sure if this was a full story or partial The reader was left wondering what was happening. I was unsure as to whether the story ended or whether it would go on. It was written well...Just unsure there...Maybe if a reader starts at the beginning it would be worth it.
The Time Machine
H.G. WellsI cannot believe that I never read this book! What a great tale of suspense. This one is written in a picturesque view. Very descriptive writing. You feel as if you are there in the world of the time traveler. Worth every minute reading! Go get it now if you have never read it! Geez...so sorry I waited so long to read it...
Less than a year to live
RJ Reilly
This one was found on AuthorStand. A quick read that gets your heart racing. What would you do if you had less than a year to live? How would you ensure your family is taken care of? This is worth the read and is short...
Alleyman
Darren KasenkowAnother short tale of "terror". It was not as frightening as it sounds; however, left me thinking that the main character was not all that bad. Was he on earth to assist or to exterminate. Very interesting. Makes me want to seek more by this author and see what rolls around in his brain...
~~~ *** ~~~
May 2013
Another Man's Wife plus 3 other tales of horror
David BernsteinOK. This was a quick read and not too bad. A couple of the tales really made me think about life and people. It's a short read and worth it if you like this genre.
A Killer Smile
Jack Ivey
This one was found on AuthorStand. A great site if you have never been there. This takes minutes to read; only two paragraphs! I enjoyed...Worth a peek.
Best Practices for Teaching with Emerging Technologies
Michelle Pacansky-Brock
I picked this one up at the Sloan-C conference. A must have for those teaching in today's Community Colleges. There were mostly things within that I already work with. There were some new and exciting options available as well. Sometimes I would read about an application I know; yet, a different way to use these was brought into play. This was worth the read...and a quick one. Be sure to have your highlighter and stick-ems ;-D
Invisible (Ivy Malone Series #1)
Lorena McCourtney
This was a tale of a "not the usual" investigator. It is a story of an older woman who finds herself alone after her best friend died (natural causes). She then starts investigating a recent vandalism of a cemetery, staying alone at night to catch the culprits. During this time, a younger friend is found murdered. In a crazy twist, everything becomes entwined into one. This is a quick read and brings God and Church into the mix. I look forward to #2; In Plain Sight. The
Emerald Staff (Custodial Novel #2)
Alison Pensy
A follow of the last book. Interesting tale. Now brought into the mix are Dragons. This takes the reader through many emotions. I found it very interesting that the main character is in college yet, when in a test, a bell rings for the class to be over. Is this something that England Institutions have? Anyway, these book have a great way of providing colorful words for the reader to feel they are in the world with Faedra. There are more in the series and I'll be reading them as well ;-D
The Amulet (Custodial Novel #1)
Alison Pensy
This was a tale of fairies and otherworldly realms. It held my attention for 400 plus pages! There were a few areas that shifted from one place to the next without explanation and a few pages that could have been omitted. Based on the title, you can see there is more than one in a series. I will actually look up the second and let you know how it goes. This one is worth the read. Would be a good one for Teens...

APRIL 2013
Three Ghost Stories
Charles Dickens
This one was very strange. It definitely showed a side of Dickens that was twisted. I think he may have been the Stephen King of the past...I actually listened to these tales while diving 426 miles through a desert during a high wind and thunderstorm. This added to the fear factor I must add. Though these reads may not be for everyone, for they are written in what I call "old english" (my term). It was worth the read (hearing) for me, for this is the genre I prefer...The audio books are free at: http://www.booksshouldbefree.com/
Dark Legacy
Anna DeStefano
Interesting story of psychic abilities and lucid dreaming. Short story, about 240 pages and quick to read. I was mesmerized through most of this. Worth the read.
A Cat Was Involved" A Chet and Bernie Mystery eShort Story
Spencer Quinn
his one was a tale to reflect on when Bernie and Chet first met. You may have remember me mentioning these books a few months ago. There were five that I read. Stories from the dog's point of view. Very ingenious of the author. This one is short and sweet...Worth the read.
~~~ *** ~~~
MARCH 2013
A Chunk of Hell
Steven Sidor
This one followed no path. I could not tell if it was three stories I read or one with three characters. The writing was good; the stories were good...Just no flow. Went from one thing to the next with no connections. This author will be good in time...Read only if you want mindless time.
The Smart Swarm
Peter Miller
This is not something I would have chosen to read myself. This is a book from a Book Review session at my place of employment. Though it is not in the genre I often choose, it proved very interesting.
The Last Lecture
Randy Pausch
Beautiful story and is worth every moment you spent reading it. A true hero and honorable being.
~~~ *** ~~~
FEBRUARY 2013
Haunted on Bourbon Street
Deanna Chase
This one had everything from Dream Walking to Wiccan. It takes place in New Orleans and goes deep into the mists of the supernatural. There are hosts galore! It hd more ups than downs. I'd have to say it was an OK read.
A Prison Tale
Scott Gibbs This is a short story which takes the reader into the mind of a man who killed his wife. The prison has decided to try a new method to reform prisoners. This takes the reader into the dark side of a sick man's mind. It is a quick read; however, may not be for everyone.
Sincerely, Jesus
Edward Goble This is the author's viewpoint on what the letters from Christ meant to the churches (people) after His resurrection. Very interesting. I may need to download more of this author's work. Worth a read ;-D
~~~ *** ~~~
JANUARY 2013
Heller
JD Nixon
Trapped in another world of a series of books! I guess this happens when you purchase so many free books. This one is about a security business. I love"who done its" so I enjoyed this one. It had a few unnecessary parts and the main character gets into a lot of mischief. I read it quickly and was mesmerized in many areas. I would say it is worth it ;-D
The Finding
Nicky Charles
This is a third in the series I liked this one better than the second. There seemed to be some story line that kept that me intrigued. If you read one...You should read all. Seems to be something I do ;-D
The Keeping
Nicky Charles
This is a second in a series. I was not as impressed. It proved to be longer and had more child-like antics. A lot of whining and aggression I am down for the count and in bed so it was read quickly. IN fact, have the third here to read. My hopes are for more adventure and hair raising scenes. We'll see what it brings ;-D
~~~ *** ~~~
December 2012
The Mating
Nicky Charles
This is a first in a series. It is a tale of "Weres" and their lives in the modern world around us. I enjoyed the style of writing and the descriptions of the landscape. This made me feel I was in this fantasy world. There were some parts that made me blush. It keeps your attention and is worth a read ;-D
Hide in Plain Site: The Three Sisters Inn
Marta Perry
A short story with suspense. When a series of "accidents" start happening in a small Amish community, the reader discovers the town is not as quaint as it seems. For me, it was easy to discover "who done it" by the foreshadowing of the writings. It's quick and easy to read ;-D
Irresistible Forces
Christina Jackson
A short tale of ghosts and WWI. It moves quickly and soundly. I'd say worth a read for a bedtime story ;-D
~~~ *** ~~~
November 2012
Irresistible Forces
Brenda Jacksone My first Harlequin Romance. I can remember a friend of mine reading one of these a day! It was pure smut people. The author had a colorful way of writing and I can see how women can get addicted to these novels...Worth one read if you have never experienced a romance novel ;-D
Santa's Little Red Spaceship
Jason Shultz This is one for the little people. It is a tale of future life with Santa taking on the galaxy, delivering Christmas toys to all the planets. The little ones will love it...Worth the read ;-D
416
Adam Silfre This one is full of 68 Chapters of stories with only 416 words per tale of terror. Each is written from a different person. There were a few that made me say...What the %#@?! Then there were others that really made you think...Worth the read ;-D
Fistful of Collar
Spencer Quinn The fifth of the series. Just as fun as the first! Chet the Jet is on another murder mystery. This tale brings Hollywood into Bernie's world, and a cat into Chet's. This one I liked...Worth the read ;-D
~~~ *** ~~~
October 2012
The Dog that Knew Too Much
Spencer Quinn The fourth of the series. Just as fun as the first! Chet, the dog, is on another missing person's adventure. This time involvement is with a child, gold nuggets and the beautiful Colorado landscape. Worth the read ;-D
To Fetch a Thief
Spencer Quinn The third of the series. Just as fun as the first! Chet, the dog, is on another missing person's adventure. This time it's an elephant who has disappeared. Worth the read ;-D
~~~ *** ~~~
September 2012
Watching Her Every Move
Diane DeRicci One of those freebies...Don't waste your time...
Apocalypse Soup Kitchen
A.W. Wilson A very quick read of the Zombie Apocalypse. Has a humorous twist and visual detail. If this is what you are into...Worth the read ;-D
Thereby Hangs a Tail
Spencer Quinn The second of the series. Just as fun as the first! Chet, the dog, is on another missing person's adventure. This one takes you to the desert and back. Pretty good tale (pardon the pun). Worth the read ;-D
Dog On It
Spencer Quinn The first of a series and the first of many I will read of this author's. Very fun. It's another detective story with a twist. The partner is a dog and the story is from the dog's point of view. If you are a dog lover, you have to get this one! Worth the read ;-D
Don't Blink (Preview)
James Patterson I added the preview for I did not know if was a preview! Started reading away. Very fast moving story. I was really into it. Now I'll have to purchase the whole book...I would have to say it's worth it ;-D
~~~ *** ~~~
August 2012
The Lurking Fear
H.P. Lovecraft
I cheated a bit on this one. It was actually an audio version produced on an old time radio broadcast. I listened while working on a computer project. I actually enjoyed! Worth the listen ;-D
The Confession: A Novel
John Grisham
Very intriguing book. I was mesmerized from page one. An interesting look at capital punishment in our country. Worth the read...
Using Comic Arts to Improve Speaking, Reading and Writing
Steve Bowkett, Tony Hitchman
This one took the comic strip in a whole new direction. The authors look at this topic with a more K-12 viewpoint. Being in Higher Education, it took some imagination to incorporate the thinking into assignments. Very fun book with great ideas...and templates! Worth the read...
~~~ *** ~~~
July 2012
Serial
Blake Couch, Jack Kilborn
These two hooked up and wrote of two serial killers who's paths cross. It was brutal reading and left some bad images in my brain...I would say worth it if you like thrillers...
Puppy Dog Tales
Alice V
Short tales told from the dog's perspective. Worth it if you love dogs...
Syndrome
Thomas HooverI enjoyed this book all the way to the last few pages. It could be believable (with the exception of a few paragraphs) the way written until you get to that last chapter! Still a pretty good read. A few grammatical errors...I would say worth a go through once round...
~~~ *** ~~~
June 2012
Summer's Crossing (Iron Fey Series)
Julie Kagawa A very short read which is filled with humor and conflict. Worth the quick look.
~~~ *** ~~~
MAY 2012
Alinora
Kara Lockley A setting in the physical world and the dream world. The two collide and become one. Interesting short read.
Cain's Apples
Brian Lee A short tale of man's greed and unnecessary wants. It's worth the quick read.
Life, Love, and a Polar Bear Tattoo
Heather Wardell This tale takes the reader on a journey through the eyes o f a woman making changes in her life. Some of the changes com easily and others take more time to resolve. It's a quick, mindless read which may provide you with some of your own ideas.
~~~ *** ~~~
APRIL 2012
Dawn of Avalon
Anna Elliott Another tale about Morgane and Merlin...Oh yes...Arthur and Uther...This one was a quick read and another viewpoint to the whole story. Unlike Mists of Avalon the story is quick and to the point. Sitting by the pool or at the beach? Read it there...
~~~ *** ~~~
MARCH 2012
Short Stories for Older, and Not Quite So Old, Children
Dandi Palmer Definitely geared more toward the young. Terms in the book were related to British styles. I was not too impressed...but then again...I am older...
Girls to the Rescue Book #1: Tales of Clever, Courageous Girls from Around the World
Bruce Lansky Another tale of stories geared toward the young at heart. I actually liked a few of these. Nice stories with an honest outcome. Worth reading to your children...or to be read by a preteen daughter...
The Help: a novel
Kathryn Stockett
What a great read. This one kept my attention from beginning to end. I was a little upset that it came to an end. I highly recommend the read! Looking forward to the movie...
When Night Falls
Margaret Daily A very short story with a "who done it" feel. Quick and easy. Great read for a waiting room ;-D
~~~ *** ~~~
February 2012
Last Breath
Michael Prescott Fast read. This one was not what I thought. The "Bad" in here began as "The Boogeyman". The young child in the beginning grows to a police officer and is forced to face her fear once again. I would say this is worth it!
Healing with Fairies: Messages, Manifestations, and Love from the World of Fairies
Doreen Virtue My first "Lend Me! To read. How cool is this feature! This author mentions The Course in Miracles several times. She is a writer who used channeling to get words to paper. This story is how she learns of fairies, imps and other small creatures who help u sin this world. I would say...worth it!
Renegade Robot
Tom Lichtenberg This is my second book by this author. I really enjoy his writing style. It's quick to read and always has that right amount of humor and drama. This tale is about a time after the robots "cleaned our mess". With only 133 pages of story...it's a quick read. I think you'll enjoy ;-D
~~~ *** ~~~
JANUARY 2012
Second Lives: A journey through virtual lives
Tim Guest I read this book a few years ago; maybe four. It was when I first ventured into the worlds of pixelated people. I really did not fully understand the book then. It was worth a reiteration. Tim Guest points out many MMORPs and the pros and cons of each. He even dives into all areas of the virtual environments to bring us, the readers, the real story. If you are into, or studying, these worlds, it's worth a check out.
Digital 3D Design: The use of 3d applications in the digital graphics design
Simon DanakerThis is a good one if you are adventuring into the 3D world. It explains all the areas of primitives and modeling aspects. The author dives into a few applications used to create these pixelated pieces. Lots of pictures ;-D
Bubba and the Dead Woman
C.L. BevilGreat read. This one had me interested the whole way through! It had humor and intelligence all rolled up in one big, southern style murder, who done it. I would recommend this to anyone who enjoys the silliness of crime scene dramas...and it's FREE!
~~~ *** ~~~
DECEMBER 2011
Being Virtual: Who you really are online
Davey Winder
Interesting take on the online world. This book touches on chats, social networks and virtual environments. Quick read. The author brings his "attitude" to white pages and keeps you interested. Worth a trip to the library ;-D
The Unofficial Guide to Building Your Business in Second Life Virtual World
Sue Martin Mahar and Jay Mahar
Written in 2009. Needs a few up dates here and there on the "techie stuff". Good if you are looking to bring the physical world and virtual world together. Good read ONLY if you are a business major person or would like a little business sense.
The Monster in the Box
H. Jason SchultzA quick read. Short and kind of sweet. The ending is really not what you expect! It's a FREE read for the Nook. Worth it ;-D
Where the Sky Ends
Gloria Piper Another FREE read from Barnes and Noble. I found the story a bit sad. It has total truth to it; yet, is written in a mythical setting. The cost is good for the read.
Dracula
Bram Stoker Another FREE read from Barnes and Noble. A classic tale. For me, it lulled me to sleep land. There were parts that were gripping and kept me ready for me...then there were those that just made the eyelids heavy. It should be read at least once in a lifetime.
How to Write a Great Book and Get It Published
Tome Evans Worth the read. There are excellent resources here for the novice and the educator. Another Freebie for the Nook! Worth it ;-D
Demon Girl
Penelope Fletcher This is the first of a three part series. First is free through Barnes and Noble. An adventure into the world of fairies, vampires, shifters, and many other creatures. The author has a great imagination; she just needs a proof reader!. There are times when the reader finds themselves thrust into a place which just appears out of nowhere. Worth the read ;-D
Snapdragon Alley
Tom Lichtenberg I found myself completely wrapped in this tale of a young man in search of a bus route which no one seems to know of; yet, it is on an older map from his Uncle who disappeared. I loved every minute of this tale...and it's FREE for the Nook. Worth it ;-D
Second Life
Tom Cantrell The first to be paid for on the Color Nook. Being a small $1.99, it did not disappoint me. A story which leads to secret work and second chances. It kept me quite entertained; though, I was not thrilled with the ending. Worth the read.
Demon Day
Penelope Fletcher Number two in the three part series. It was a small fee to purchase for the Nook and worth the read in my opinion. Once again, Ms. Fletcher needs to get a better proof reader. Someone who understands grammar and flow. Even through all this, the book is still worth your pennies ;-D
Remedial Magic
Jenna Black Save your time here. A story of a young girl being introduced to her "fae" family. One of those books that has to bring the subject matter into light that everyone else enjoys. It's free; however, this reader feels it was not up to par...
Demon Dark
Penelope Fletcher The last of three part series. Another small fee to pay for the final chapters of Rae, the main character of the book. I was thrilled when reading the fight scenes and the action...Not so happy with the ending. Felt it was too storybook. Usually, when I am unhappy with an ending, this is why...All in all, to complete the series, you might as well read it.
