It’s been roughly 16 years since I read the first two books in The Wormling series, so I decided it was high time I went back and finished reading this Christian fantasy series for middle grade readers! I recently finished reading The Changeling, book #3 in The Wormling series written by Jerry B. Jenkins and Chris Fabry.

It’s been a while since I’ve posted a book review, but I’m back to reviews! This week, I’m reviewing The Phantom of Phys Ed, book #5 in the SpineChillers series by Fred E. Katz. SpineChillers was a Goosebumps style series in the 1990’s for Christian kids!

November has come to a close and we’re already a week deep into December! We’re all set up for Christmas and looking forward to celebrating the birth of Jesus all month and into January. Last month I read 13 books, and really enjoyed many of them. In the latest vlog post, I’ll share the books I read last month and which ones I recommend!
It’s Christmas Season!
And that means I’m perusing my shelves for all the Christmas themed and Christmas-adjacent books! In the video below, I go through all the Christmas books I could find in my personal library. From picture books to middle grade fiction, there’s a little something here for everyone who enjoys a good Christmas tale.
Check it out below!
A couple of days ago, my wife and I visited our local used bookstore, and as I was searching the shelves, I gasped out loud at what I found! I actually couldn’t believe the price tag the store had on this, when I know how much it usually goes for online.
We also visited Cheekwood Estate to see their Holiday Lights Event! It was a lot of fun, even if it was a little bit chilly. Check out what we saw and what we found in the video below!
Christmas season is officially here! I know, I know, there are those of us who have been secretly listening to Christmas music for a couple of months now, but for the rest of the world, Thanksgiving has ended and it’s officially Christmastime!
To kick off the Christmas celebrations, we started decorating our house and I received a surprise book in the mail! Join me as we decorate, do a little unboxing, and get into the Christmas mood!
Christmas season is here!
My wife and I decided to head over to a local antique store for some unique vintage Christmas finds! While she was searching for vintage Christmas ornaments, I’m out here searching for vintage Christmas books. Join us as we search a giant antique mall!
A few days ago I received my Author Copies of Thrones 1-3 in the mail! So what did I decide to do? Record an unboxing video of course! So here it is: Unboxing the first three books in the Thrones series! To order copies of Secret of the Lost King, Sword of the Broken Son, and Skin of the Dragon Lord, visit Amazon at this link: Thrones!
Surprise!
It’s a Thrones: Side Quest available now in paperback! Light of the Frozen Star is the story that answers the question someone recently asked me that I thought was worth exploring!
“How did Jagger and Innes actually meet?”
The adventure I discovered behind the journey that forged an unlikely friendship between archer and squirrel is one of my favorites! Set at Christmas time, Innes the squirrel soon discovers that the forest is being frozen in snow and ice, and the only person who can help him is Jagger, the grumpy archer who just moved into the cottage by the old obelisk.
Together, they embark on a dangerous journey to find out the truth behind the mysterious blue light that has frozen their world.
Weaving in the story of Christmas from Luke 2, this novella will definitely scratch the itch between Skin of the Dragon Lord and Song of the Dead Prophet.
Where in the series does this story fall?
I recommend reading Light of the Frozen Star definitely after book one and the short story in the back of Secret of the Lost King. It will help quite a bit if you’ve read books two and three, but you don’t absolutely have to have read those to read this side quest!
I hope you enjoy this Christmas surprise!
October 2023 was a fun month of reading! I read three middle grade books, one picture book, one writing book, and one Children’s Ministry book! You can find all of these available online either at Amazon for the new titles or on Thriftbooks or Ebay for the older titles!
I might read a lot of different kinds of books, but you can be sure no matter what I read, I’ve got a cup of coffee in hand! They always say to be a good writer, you’ve got to be a reader. It’s fun to look back on the past and what other middle grade authors have written before me, as well as to be encouraged to write better!
Check out the video below to see what I read last month!
