  • Kids Mystery Series

    ABC Mysteries by Ron Roy This a good starter series for kids who want to puzzle out the whodunnit while relating to the lower school protagonists, the bookish, thoughtful Dink, the whip smart Rose and goofy Josh as they figure out the small town local mysteries that pop up in their lives from missing authors…

    Anne of Green Gables and Emily of New Moon by Lucy Maud Montgomery Ah these classic books with beautiful covers, I make a point of reading them every year. While Anne is obviously the most famous and I prefer the first five books of the series, it is worth a read of all 8 books…

  • Fairy Books for Kids

    Rainbow Fairies by Daisy Meadows I believe every child has read at least once so there’s no need for fanfare, especially since they are still going. They must be at number 100 by now. Anyway, I love the cover designs, every fairy is unique and beautiful. But I will always have a soft spot for…

    I’m sure many have read or at least seen the brand called Whitman Classics of which frequently can be seen in flea markets and antique shops. They are abridged, easily readable editions of classic literature like Heidi and such, with some originals sprinkled in as well. I have a whole collection of them for my…

    In honor of International Women’s Day, I’ll go into another two of my favorite rereads with some great female leads. I shall start first with a very underrated series, The Hollywood Sisters by Mary Wilcox. Jessica Ortiz is so not on the trail for homicide. Not one bit. She is a self-proclaimed recovering shy girl…

    Best friends (Untill I find someone better) by Erin Downing I love a good anti heroine or at least morally questionable mean girl. At summer vacation, Izzy lets down her queen bee meanness but can she do the same when she gets back at school and her losery friends end up following? Well you can…

  • Top Candy Apple books

    Does anyone remember this imprint? It was tweenage drama and fun, which I sadly think it’s defunct now, but it was all the rage in scholastic bookfair mags and my mom bought them by the bundle. So in honor of those sparkly apples, here are my faves. 1. Wish you were here, Liza/See you soon,…

    I don’t know about anyone else but I am the kind of person who likes to reread and rewatch my favorite things once a year. That being during the summer because I have a lot of time to relax and enjoy. Why I chose these specifically, I don’t know really. Nostalgia probably. Also that I…

  • Mysteries and Supernatural series

    Mysteries Codename: Dancer by Amanda Brice What happens when you mix Dance Academy with murder, you get snarky ballerina sleuth Dani Spevak series. I like how it tries to keep it realistic like a modern day Nancy Drew, and Dani’s voice was very fun to read. Good YA mystery series. The Lying Game by Sara…
