The Brilliant Dr. Wogan by R.A. Montgomery My rating: 5 of 5 stars I used to love reading Choose Your Own Adventure books when I was a kid. I borrowed them from the school library and from the public library. I couldn't get enough! So it was awesome to find a few during ou…

Welcome To Camp Slither by R.L. Stine My rating: 5 of 5 stars During our thrift store adventures, we've been lucky enough to find a bunch of Goosebumps books, and this one is part of the Horrorland collection. I used to read Goosebumps to my daughter when she was in prima…

Grandma Mazur is a widow . . . again. This time her marriage lasted a whole 45 minutes. The unlucky groom was one Jimmy Rosolli, local gangster, lothario (senior division) and heart attack waiting to happen . . . well, the waiting's over.  It's a sad day, but if she can'…

Everyone but Sophia and Cyrus were going to die. They were all goners well before they knew it. And they certainly thought whatever was happening, they were helping others and saving the world doing it. Samantha was only fourteen and looking for what every fourteen-year-old looks fo…
