Book Nook: A Challenge!

Welcome to the New Year!

Last year I participated in the GoodReads Reading Challenge. I chose 25 as the number of books that I would read (as the past couple of years I went from 100 (which didn't happen) to 15, which was surpassed).

I knocked that goal out of the park, reading well over 30 books. (34/25 woo!)

I tend to read fantasy, young adult, mysteries, and a variety of historical non-fiction. I delve into fiction and biographies from time to time as well.

I love recommendations from anyone as well - gives a different perspective


I'd like to know what sort of books you read. Which genre do you tend to pull towards?


Here's a few that I read through last year, as well as some series I'm going to continue on with this year:


Crown & Key Series
A Carolyn Blue Culinary Mystery
Black Cat Bookshop
Odd Thomas Series
Magnus Chase and the Gods of Asgard
Fairy Tale Fatal Mystery
Booktown Mysteries
Splintered Series
Ophelia Wylde Paranormal Mystery
Precious Stone Trilogy
Kingdom Keepers (Will continue the series this year)
The Land of Stories (Will continue the series this year)


I've got a lot of other books on the docit for this year as well including:

Les Miserables
The Hunchback of Notre Dame
A Tale of Two Cities



Give me a few books you thoroughly love to read. I'd like to see what's caught everyone's fancy.

Book Nook: Read A Review

I've finally come back around to my original posting schedule. Are you ready?




Series: Kingdom Keepers
Book: Shell Game, #4
Author: Ridley Pearson

Let me just start off by saying,t his is an excellent series to start and come back to. They make the parks all the more exciting.

I read book 3 right before going to Disney World and found myself going to the places mentioned in the book. These are the best to read especially if you're going on a trip down to Florida. They definitely get you pumped up for the expectation of the parks, rides, and food!

Alright - to the book.

Obviously

SPOILERS AHEAD


We rejoin the five Kingdom Keepers (KK, as they are known to each other). What with having their last adventure a few years behind them, the battle has raged on.

The Overtakers have recruited kids from the local schools, and they've been turning Cast Members into minions as well. It's becoming a bit more difficult to tell foe from friend. Not only that, their parents and guardians are no longer safe either. It seems as though the Keepers are being attacked from every side!

While trying to keep the Base protected, the Keepers have been keeping shifts on protecting the base of power for the DHI's.

Then Wayne contacts Finn telling him to meet with a mysterious new ally in the fight for Disney Magic. Finn's mother drops him off at Typhoon Lagoon at night. While Finn goes through the park, he's chased by Crash Test Dummies, who all get fended off by Stitch!

Making his meeting, Finn's surprised to learn their new ally is none other than King Triton! Only Ursula decides to step in and cause havoc before they can leave, causing massive tidal waves.

After escaping Finns' in for another nasty surprise: his mother's been taken over by the Overtakers.

With the premier of the Disney Cruise Disney Host experience, all five of the Keepers are going to be on board a cruise ship for the next fifteen days. Couped up with a lot of our favorite Disney Villians!

When they stop at Castaway Cay something is afoot.

Cast Members are being taken to Tia Dalma, who's turning them all into obedient servants for the Overtakers. But that's not all.

The Dream has spent an extra few hours at the Cay for a Beach Party Barbeque; a ploy by the Overtakers so they can fly in Chernabog.

As they leave the Cay Finn and the others make a move to stop Maleficent and the others.

With the final countdown with Tia Dalms, Finn and Willa find themselves in a rather sticky predicament.

Read to find out what happens in the end, and make certain to check out the other books in the series: the first four leading up to this book number five!


What are some series you'd recommend? And, if you have read the Kingdom Keepers, who's your favorite one?
