Poseidon's Academy by Sarah A Vogler My rating: 2 of 5 stars This book reminded me of Rick Riordan books. True, the kids are not demigods, but they do have powers from the Greek gods.

Ben Braver and the Incredible Exploding Kid
Ben Braver and the Incredible Exploding Kid by Marcus Emerson My rating: 4 of 5 stars Not going to lie, this book gets an extra star because of the cover.

City of Thirst
City of Thirst by Carrie Ryan My rating: 3 of 5 stars This series is great, but I feel really bad for Fin at this point. It's a good thing the babysitter is there and remembers Marrill plus one.

Dad Is Fat
Dad Is Fat by Jim Gaffigan My rating: 3 of 5 stars I have to say, I think Jim is a much better father than he says he is. I've known some bad ones, and they wouldn't care even a quarter as much as he does. When I got to the parts about sleeping arrangements, … Continue reading Dad Is Fat
Boldfinger
Death by Cliché 3: Boldfinger by Bob Defendi My rating: 4 of 5 stars I'm really hoping there is a fourth book coming out, because Mr. Defendi, I have questions. For me, this series keeps getting better. I think the first book was hard for me to understand because I don't play the types of … Continue reading Boldfinger
