I recently read A Night to Remember, by Walter Lord, great book. Also read The Return of Sherlock Holmes, by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle a while ago. I am currently reading The Friendly Dickens, by Norrie Epstein.

I finished reading Deadliest Cast Member: The COMPLETE SEASON TWO Collection book 2 which is about a former Seal agent who works as a Disneyland Security cast member who has to save Disneyland from Terrorists . Book 2 is actually a prequel to Deadliest Cast Member SEASON ONE COMPILATION. Both Books are written by Kelly Ryan Johns who is a Christian author which he mentions in the author notes in the books.

I recently finished reading the newest book in the re-released Last Chance Detectives book series, Terror From Outer Space, by Robert Vernon. I thought it was really good! Even if you haven’t read the other books in the series, this one is understandable on its own. I’d recommend it to anyone.
Apart from that, I really haven’t had very much time to do any reading lately. However, I do have plans to finish reading The Friendly Dickens by Norrie Epstein at some point.

I've been binge reading a few series. First, I started with The Blackgaard Chronicles, then Young Whit, and now I'm reading our Tintin collection out of order.

I haven’t had time to do much reading since my last post here. However, I did read His Name Is Still Mudd, by Edward Steers Jr. over the holidays, good book. I am now starting 36 Hours to Save the President, by Alan L. Trock.

I finished The Lando Calrissian Adventures trilogy today. It's a weird side of Star Wars, but I loved it.

I have not had time to do much reading lately. However, in my spare time I did recently read the newest book in the re-released Last Chance Detectives book series, Revenge of the Phantom Hot Rod, which I thought was really good! I also recently read What Money Can't Buy, by Michael Sandel, another good book. I am currently trying to finish reading The Friendly Dickens, by Norrie Epstein which I started a while ago.

Gah, I'm in the middle of too many books. Climate Change: What Everyone Needs to Know by Joseph Romm. Spring by Ali Smith. Existential Physics by Sabine Hossenfelder. Barchester Towers by Anthony Trollope. And the last book I completed was As You Like It by Shakespeare.

Still haven't had much time to do any reading since my last post here. But I did recently read the newest book in the Last Chance Detectives book series, Quest for the King's Crown, which I thought was good! It was pretty humorous and had what I thought was a very good plot. Makes me very interested in seeing what the next books in the series will hold.

I've been reading some random things: White Fang (again), Carry On, Mr. Bowditch, and now I'm starting on Tintin: The Calculus Affair.

I don't have much time to read for fun nowadays. But I did recently read the newest book in the Imagination Station book series, Land of the Lost. I usually keep up with the series since the books are usually free to read on the Adventures in Odyssey Club before their release. They're there, so I read them when they're available.
I must say, this particular book was kind of strange. Don't get me wrong, I do like the current story that's being done with Patrick and Beth having to deal with Amelia misusing Whit's Imagination Station technology. However, the setting for this particular book was unique: it takes place in the world before the flood, as Noah and his family are making finishing touches to the ark. It was mostly the prominent roles of the rowdy people of the world opposing Noah's family and the even more prominent presence of the Nephilim giants that threw me off. :? Perhaps I should make a topic about it.

Still do not have time to read (wow, I've been saying that in almost all my previous posts on here :anxious:). But I have started reading the newest book in the Imagination Station book series, Big Risks in Russia. Hopefully I'll find it more enjoyable than the previous book in the series.
