Rebecca's Write Inspirations

Another one? Yes. I know what you're thinking. Becky, you just wrote about this dude last week. You reviewed his The Last Musketeer book. Did you seriously just read another one of his books? I did. Indeed, I did. Last week, I told you, I can't help but enjoy Stuart Gibb's light-hearted books . His characters and stories are fun and fast reads. They have a little of something for everyone, and for a few minutes, you totally forget that they're about thirteen-year-olds and geared toward that age range. Why? Because the mysteries are engaging. The characters are silly. The plots are clean, and it's nice to read something for fun without being drowned in anything too serious or upsetting. His characters are sweet. The plots are enjoyable and easy to get through. It's peaceful reading at its finest, and family fun for all. You always know the mystery will be solved, the characters will make it out alive, and it takes me back to my own childhood and my love of...

You might wonder why I love Stuart Gibbs so much. He's one of those rare authors that has me buying every book he writes. Whether it's his Funjungle series, Space series, or Spy series, I'm in! He now has me hooked on his Musketeer series . I just read book one and found it hard to put down. Why? you ask. Well, I can only reply with how light-hearted, funny, relateable, incorrigible, and inspiring his books are. The main characters are endearing, flawed, and brave. His stories are packed with mystery, laughs, and fun. They're the type of clean-reading that I love to pick up when I need something to read that doesn't hurt my brain. It's carefree reading at its best. I'll try to break down the next series of his that I've just embarked on reading: The Last Musketeer. Numeric Breakdown: 1: didn't like it 2: it was okay 3. liked it 4. really liked it 5. it was amazing 1. Writing Style: 5/5 Stuart Gibbs has an effortless writing style that flows on ...

I might not be a huge fan of horror, but I do enjoy a good mystery. I love the twists and turns an author gives to send you one way in your thinking before you spin on a dime and head in a new direction. I love not knowing who the "bad guy" is until the end. I love putting all of the pieces together and seeing how the professionals, police, and amateur detectives make the connections. It's exciting, harrowing, and unexpected. I mean, don't even get me started with my obsession for Veronica Mars, or we could be here all day. You know Hulu has a new mini-series of the teen noir drama mystery show is coming out this July right? July 26th starts an epic beginning to the new life of Veronica Mars, and I can't wait!! Until then, you can also enjoy seasons 1-3 on Hulu starting July 1st and reacquaint yourself with the teen detective and her best friends. Okay. I'm getting sidetracked, but can you blame me? Kristen Bell is Veronica Mars , and that show will b...

Do you ever get the feeling, at times, that you have jumped out of the fire and into the frying pan? Well, you're not alone. Last week, I shared my new appreciation for Author Mary Downing Hahn and reviewed her urban legend based book, Took . This week, I'm taking on an even greater step into the world of horror and vampires with Timothy Hammer 's and Courtney Zito' s book, Peripheral Vision . This supernatural thriller is living up to its name of pure spookiness, and I'm afraid to even dive into this review for fear of leaving anything out. For those of you who love the grit and terror of the unknown, then you might enjoy this tale of unexpected twists and turns into the life of the main character and her family. When we begin, the readers are introduced to Elizabeth Bayard and her family. What seems like a normal family moment turns into something much more devastating. The beginning of a family curse, an unknown aunt, and the inheritance of her family...
