Review: The Librarian of the Haunted Library by Brian Yanksy
I was waiting at the doctor’s office and this was the only thing I had downloaded, otherwise I never would have finished it. It’s just, well, kind of dumb – ridiculous thing after ridiculous thing.

Crashed is the first novel in the Junior Bender series and I can’t wait to dig into these books! Again, it’s all about a main character who is intriguing enough to keep me turning pages.
