So many books and so little time to read them all. It's daunting to see so many promising books and even more being published every day. Hopefully our book reviews can help you decide what books you want to read next.

39 Clues




This series is geared more for the younger age, but I still enjoy reading them. A new book or card series comes out every two months and is written by a different author. It follows a brother and sister that are competing in a search for 39 clues that when put together will make the person very powerful. There are four family groups that all who participate in this 'game' belong to. Each family group is determined to be the first to find all 39 clues and will do anything to prevent others from winning. Each book leads to a different country and you learn about a famous person associated with each area. It's a fun way to learn about these people. Although I will admit at this point each book does get a little old and I am getting to the point that I want some mysteries solved and the story to come to a finish. Each book comes with a set of cards that you can enter in the website along with the card packs to find more clues. I'm a little confused how the books are going to end since there are only 10 books or so and 39 clues that need to be found. I'm not sure how many clues each card pack has, but each book only covers one clue if that. I hope the last book can wrap up and give everyone an ending instead of leaving you hanging and being forced to buy these card packs and participate online. I guess we'll find out how it ends.
