This topic comes from my critique of the Millie Maven trilogy by Ted and Rachel Dekker that I wrote a few weeks ago. In reading some of the Amazon reviews, I noticed one disgruntled reader lamenting the fact that so many Christian parents will allow their kids to read that trilogy, but absolutely forbid them...

Review: I Only Made it Six Books into the Alex Rider Series (Spoilers).
A few years ago, I was given the Alex Rider series after I had asked for it as a Christmas gift. Why did I ask for it? Because it was recommended by Rick Riordan on his website, and I was still going through my Percy Jackson phase and thought that Riordan could do no wrong.... Continue Reading →
Blog/News: Why Does the Young Adult Section Suck Nowadays.
A week or two ago, I wrote an article about what I found in Barnes & Noble's young adult section. In that article, I posted the pictures I took of the books and among them were such titles such as Queer Ducks, The Black Friend: How to be a Better White Person, White Fragility, Afterlove,...

Review: Millie Maven and the White Sword Made Me Root for the Bad Guy.
When I finally finished Millie Maven and the Golden Vial, I had to take a weeklong hiatus from reading any more of those books. My brain felt like mush and the entire series just made me angry. It was supposed to have a good story but instead, it felt like Ted and Rachel Dekker paid... Continue Reading →
Review: Things Get Even Dumber in Millie Maven and the Golden Vial (Spoilers).
As the title suggests, if you thought Millie Maven and the Bronze Medallion was a terrible story filled with New Age stupidity, just wait until you read Millie Maven and the Golden Vial, the book that involves children eating worm sludge (a-la Disney's bastardization of Willow), the power of friendship, and finally gives the dumbest...

Finally, after several weeks of posting about the first novel I ever wrote, we've reached the end of this adventure. Will there be more OG Stories on the way? I have no idea. If I can find any more, I'll post about them, but more likely than not, the OG Stories may be going on... Continue Reading →
News: If You Don’t Think That There’s a Gay Agenda in Your Kids’ Books, Think Again.
I know that in yesterday's post, I said I would do more content on the God-awful Millie Maven trilogy, but that has been put on hiatus for the time being because there's something more important to talk about than Millie Maven. Yesterday, me and my mom were doing a mother-daughter day and decided to go... Continue Reading →
Review: Millie Maven and the Bronze Medallion was New Age Trash.
Last Christmas, I asked for a series of books that a friend of mine suggested called "The Millie Series". According to Amazon, that series is about a Christian farm girl growing up during the time of the Civil War, having to learn lessons about trusting God while growing up or something. I ended up not... Continue Reading →
Blog: OG Stories of my Childhood: The Spotlight Chapter 8
Well...I'm back. You may be thinking, "M.J. where have you been for the past two weeks? Your last post was on July 4th. What happened?" My answer is that life happened. Unfortunately, some stuff popped up that prevented me from writing anything, but I'm back now to bring you some more cringe in the form... Continue Reading →
Blog: OG Stories of My Childhood: The Spotlight Chapter 7.
Because today's July 4th (happy Independance Day to all my fellow Americans), I will only torture you with one, much shorter chapter of The Spotlight. For those of you who haven't read the earlier installments of this series, Rebeca is an aspiring fashion designer/model who was employed as an actress but was fired after the... Continue Reading →
