The Sisters Grimm Book 1: The Fairy-Tale Detectives (Sisters Grimm)

by Michael Buckley

The book was a little slow to start, but once it got going, it was a fun fantasy with plenty of twists. While it might scare the very young, it’s great for the older kids and adults alike.

Dawn's Light (A Restoration Novel)

by Terri Blackstock

The final book in the series was only okay. I understand what she was trying to do with it, but there was too much going on. As a result, the book was too rushed to accomplish any of it.

Hell Hole

by Chris Grabenstein

Ceepak is quick to notice the flaws with the suicide ruling of a soldier. But who really killed him and why? Plenty of action with characters I’ve really grown to love.

It Happened One Knife

by Jeffrey Cohen

I didn’t like the first in this series, but the second finds Jeffrey Cohen back to his normal, fun self. Lots of laughs and a decent mystery. Bring on the third.

The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor [Theatrical Release]

Like the others in the series, this isn’t memorable and deep. But it was entertaining while it was on. And I loved some of the lines.

I wasn’t familiar with the songs of ABBA before I saw the movie, but I really enjoyed it.

Delete This at Your Peril: One Man's Hilarious Exchanges with Internet Spammers

by Bob Servant

While a couple chapters get a little long, these exchanges are very funny. It’s hard to believe the spammers are as stupid as portrayed here.

Good Tie in (rated 4 stars)

Burn Notice: The Fix

by Tod Goldberg

The story could have been stronger, but the characters were spot on. Overall, I really did enjoy it.

Still fun (rated 5 stars)

Ramona the Pest (Ramona Quimby (Paperback))

by Beverly Cleary

Author Beverly Cleary has expertly captured the mind of a 5 year old in this book. It is heart warming and very funny, even as an adult. Recommended for children of all ages.

Smallville - The Complete First Season

The first few episodes are weak and repetitive. However, once the writers began to explore new territory, I got hooked on the characters. Why haven’t I been watching this show all along?
