Books I've Read

Ranger's Apprentice, book nine. I didn't read book eight yet, so this was a bit of a spoiler. Will and Halt and Horace are chasing after the cult guy that apparently caused all the furor in the previous volume in the series, which I may have mentioned I haven't read yet.

Ranger's Apprentice, book four. Will and what's 'er name escape slavery, but now the Temujais are invading Skandia. Yet another book in a very enjoyable series.

Ranger's Apprentice, book two. And just who do you supposed set that bridge on fire? Well, I know, you will have to read the book! Another entry in this addictive series!

Ranger's Apprentice book ten. Will and the gang end up in a place not un-like feudal Japan helping out Horace. Romance rears its head!

Brotherband Chronicles book three. Hal and the crew continue chasing that pirate who's last name starts with a "Z" up, or maybe down, some river that I can't really visualize. SPOILER: Everyone gets a hat.

Ranger's Apprentice, book three. Will and what's-her-name are slaves in Skandia. Still holding my interest!

Sounds like a sci-fi TV show! Book three of the Brotherband Chronicles. Hal and the Heron chase the pirate Zavac. Hal, or maybe Stig, may have a romance blossoming in a future book.

Several short stories from the Ranger's Apprentice series fill in some background and tie-up some loose ends. Very nice!

Book 1 of the Brotherband Chronicles. Teen Hal goes through Skandian "boot camp" to become a warrior.

Book twelve in the Ranger's Apprentice series. Cassandra and Horace have difficulties with their teenage daughter, and Will Treaty gets an apprentice. I enjoyed it very much.

Ranger's Apprentice, book one. Will, an orphan, is unexpectedly selected to be the new apprentice to the mysterious Ranger, Halt.

Pretty good story.

Ranger's Apprentice, book six. Will is on secret assignment to find out what is going on at the castle of Macindaw.

Ranger's Apprentice, book five. Will is now a full-fledged Ranger, but he is sent on a secret mission to discover the truth about a so-called sorcerer in another fief. Unresolved at the end, when will the patron who has book six return it!!!

London book editor Samantha is trying to figure out what happened to one of her authors that missed a meeting with her. He seems to be missing! My favorite character was probably Sam's mother, "Nell".

Rob seeks closure with the father who abandoned him and his mother before he was born. Lots of interesting radio stuff. Mentions HCJB, QSL card, AM DXing, and pirate radio. Rob starts his own pirate station. Written in the form of a radio play would be more accurate. There is a photo on the cover of the author when he was a boy with headphones on, listening to short wave radio.

Georgina, an Ohio farm girl in the 1800s, recounts her life as events that took place in the room set aside for birthing and dying. Very good.

Teen Brent kills a girl while driving drunk, travels to the four corners of the U.S to place whirligigs he constructs in her memory. The Jewish lady in San Diego chapter was my favorite. I always thought they were silly, but now I gotta build me one!
This book has the smallest page numbers I have ever seen!

Yes, it was published in 1984, but it is great stuff. I can't say I read EVERY word THIS time around, but over the years I HAVE read every word.

A poor shoe-repair guy in Florida is recruited to find a prince who has been bewitched into a frog. A what??

A town in West Virginia from the year 2000 in transported back in time to Germany, 1631, during the Thirty Years War. Not a good time to be in Germany, from all accounts. Good story, moves right along, and I'm learning a lot of history. Hope it is accurate!
