My 8 Year Old Son’s Favorite Book Series

I am fortunate that my son Caden enjoys reading but it can be tricky sometimes finding the right books for your kid. Which is why I am always excited when I come across a book series that we both truly enjoy. These book series are mom approved and don't have much bathroom humor in them. I am looking at you Captain Underpants. Without anymore chitchat, that will be at the end of the post, here is what my 8 year old says are his favorite book series. Encyclopedia Brown by Donald J. Sobol Each book contains ten mysteries, and not only does Encyclopedia have a chance to solve them, but the reader is given all the clues as well. Caden read a few of these to me and they were challenging. Not going to lie, there was a few that I couldn't figure out right away. I think he is currently on book 5 in this series and still enjoying them. The Secret of The Hidden Scrolls by M.J Thomas The Secret of the Hidden Scrolls series follows siblings Peter and Mary and their dog, Hank, … [Read more...]

My Most Read & Loved Fiction Books

I love reading. My husband bought me a Kindle tablet last year for my birthday and I didn't realize how much I would use it. I think I am reading more now because I have such easy access to books. I really enjoy having Kindle Unlimited too because for $10 a month I have access to loads of books I can read for free. Below are my all time favorite fiction books. It was hard for me to narrow it down but all these books are either books I have read multiple times or books I am planning to read again in the near future.

The Buschel Digest: July 2017

I thought it would be fun to start a new series sharing what I have been reading this last month. These posts will range from blog posts, articles, and books that have been noteworthy. Enjoy! Uncharted by Angela Hunt This book was way different from any of her other books. If I had to describe it in one word it would be haunting. Definitely a book that will stick with you and I couldn't stop thinking about it when I had finished. I don't want to say anything else because it would give away the plot. Chop, Chop The Series of a Lifetime by L.N. Cronk You can read these for FREE if you have a Kindle Unlimited subscription. I could not stop reading these books once I started. Which is why I read the entire series in two weeks! It was that good! The character development was very well done and it was so interesting to follow the main character as he aged. I cried, I laughed, and I cried some more. If you are looking for a new fiction read be sure to check this out. Heaven by Randy … [Read more...]
