This is not a book about tricks, performing advice, or magical philosophy: it is a book of stories. Richard has spent over 50 years traveling the world performing mentalism...and a lot of strange things have happened to him! The most memorable - and entertaining - are recorded in these pages.Second Thoughts - Memoirs of a Mind Reader is meant to be an entertaining and thrilling read and only that. Whether it is about Richard almost getting stranded In Beijing, coming close to losing his life in Monte Carlo, or nearly knocking himself unconscious on stage in Bermuda, now that these events are in the distant past, he can look back on them, laugh, and have fun writing them all down. Richard has always loved reading stories about other magicians' lives and we're hoping you do, also. Since many of you know Richard personally (or, at least, from his videos), you will be able to imagine him squirming to get out of these various precarious predicaments! What fun!
Some of you might think these stories are just too outlandish to be true and that Richard must have exaggerated them! He can promise you that is not the case. They are all totally factual in every respect and happened just as he described. There was no attempt to "spruce them up." When he tells you of him being in Okinawa driving a car with right hand drive while blindfolded and Japanese producers sitting in the car screaming in his ears in fear, that's truly what happened!
Richard has tried to record all of this in a very entertaining way to make you feel as if you are almost reading a novel. His intent in writing this all down was his desire to simply want you to have a good time! So, if you just want to sit back, relax, and read some incredible tales, we think you will love this book!

Fun puzzles, cliffhanger ending
Format: Kindle
If you’ve read the earlier books about the Hawthornes, you know that Avery Grambs, the heiress to the Hawthorne fortune, established an annual game of puzzles and riddle in which the winner would win a whole lot of money. This book is about one of those games.
I finished this book late last night, and the first thing you need to know is that it ends in the middle of the game! Barnes calls this a new series, and obviously, it’s the kind of series in which books are tightly linked. The next book comes out next July. So forewarned.
I found I had to concentrate at the book’s start because there’s a lot to sort out. There are 8 players, mostly new characters Hawthornes there, mostly in background with Grayson having a bigger role.
There are also three points of view. So it took me quite a while to be sure I knew who was who and what their backstory was. I’m not actually sure I understand all of them even now, partly because Barnes withholds some information for the next book
Still, page by page, I enjoyed this book. I liked solving the puzzles and was pleased with myself when I did it faster than the characters did though that wasn’t as often as I’d like. The books takes place over 2 days, I think, but there’s some insta-attraction I guess, which is interesting.
The ending was unsatisfactory for me, and Barnes obviously intended it to be that way. I’ll undoubtedly pick up the second book next year, but I’ll have to reread this one to have any hope of following it.

Jenn has never disappointed me onceee!!!!!
Format: Hardcover
The grandest game is an absolute masterpiece!!
The story is gripping from scratch to finish, with expertly crafted twists and turns that keep you on edge of your seat. Jenn has a way of weaving together intricate plots and dynamic characters that feel incredibly real. The pacing is perfect, and every detail feels intentional and significant. I adore the characters' relationships and motives unfolded, creating a rich, layered narrative. The grandest game is the kind of book that lingers with you long after you have turned the last page.
I highly recommend it to anyone who has an interest in thriller like me and you won't regret it!!

The devil works hard but JLB works harder
Format: Paperback
Five star book
One star shipping
The inheritance games is utterly amazing, but grandest game BLEW away my expectations! It is twisting and turning with riddles and secrets, with brand new characters alongside our classic ones. Totally recommend to TIG lovers 12+
Shipping on the other hand was delayed nearly 2 weeks, and I live in central Texas. I was disappointed but I have already read it on kindle and wanted the paper back so wasn’t end of the world, but still annoying. Totally amazing book though!
