Okay, so Nancy finds a diary during a house fire and believes there could be a clue in it to find the arsonist. (hence, the title) while leaving the scene, her car is in an accident and meets Ned Nickerson — Yay! He falls head-over heals in disgusting puppy love and will do anything to […]
While visiting Shadow Ranch, with her friends Bess and George, (surprise surprise) a mystery turns up. The ranch is supposedly haunted by the outlaw Dirk Valentine, who died leaving a hidden treasure to his sweetheart said to be on the property of Shadow Ranch. Not only does Nancy take this case but also a young […]
All of Lexie’s roommates were creepy, Abby appeared to know more than she lets on almost acting like a know-it-all Donna Reed, keeping everything orderly, watching all her ps and qs. Justin, is a squirrelly little thing, jumping at the slightest noise and willing to please. Raphael, really fades into the background, and sometimes I […]
I read this book about a month ago so I’m obviously late in posting a review. I waver between thinking this is good or bad, no matter what the book, (unless you’ve read it a thousand times) it is easy to forget details of said novel; but on the other hand it could be a testament […]
This book started off with great pacing and potential, but it also had its issues. Nina Borg was too much of a goody-too-shoes constantly helping people and questioning what is the right thing?

In the first half, we flip-flop from the kidnapped hobbits and the three companions. Even though they are under brutal, […]
The Secret Garden is a novel of Mary Mary quite contrary, whose parents die due to cholera and is sent off to live with an uncle. The house is old, dusty and filled with secrets. At first we all learn to hate the little brat. Anywhose, a little bird tells Mary of a secret garden […]
This book made me angry, I found there to be six victims in this story not three, and a vast miscarriage of justice. The West Memphis Three as they have been dubbed were guilty the minute they walked into the courtroom due to a biased jury and judge. Misskelley, who clearly has some learning disabilities […]
Book One: We begin in Hobbiton, in preparation for Bilbo’s eleventy-first birthday, exhibiting all that is good, clean (and a little odd) in other words what is worth fighting for — a very clever and fun opening to a novel. Although the night slowly becomes dark from there. After Bilbo’s sudden disappearance and Frodo’s inheritance of […]
I read The Horse and His Boy a few years ago and remember thinking that this installment did nothing to add to The Chronicle’s storyline. After rereading it, I realized how wrong I was. Shasta and his horse Bree travel from Tashbaan to Narnia almost like someone immigrating to the United States in hopes of […]
