Book Hightlight: Tales From A Not-So-Bratty Little Sister
I know, I know. I admitted in my last post that I have too aged out of the series to enjoy it. But I still keep coming back because I have to know how it ends. . . I have a feeling it might be coming soon, but Russell is certainly stretching it out.

Nightwing
Since reading about Marvel’s best couple and leading calender man, I decided I’d give one of DC’s top hotties a look. As you can guess by the title I’m talking about the Flying Grayson! These five volumes by Tom Taylor and Bruno Redondo highlight how Nightwing is the best of the new generation of heroes.…

Author Highlight: Suzanne Nelson
I may have briefly mentioned Suzanne Nelson’s works before as her Heart and Salsa novel was the book that got me into the global coming of age series, S.A.S.S. Today I’m going to focus on her Foodie series which is just as the title implies- A collection of stand-alone novel focusing on how sweet and…

Gotham City Sirens (2024)
It’s been years since their original series and in teh decades since fans have been clamoring for the return of Gotham’s most famous villainesses. Finally the DC gods have heard their pleas with a 4 issue mini-series. It was. . . okay. Now I’m not a regular DC comic reader so maybe there have been…

Book of the Month: Hemlock Island
Yep, we’re already on the next book of the month. It was a quick read thanks to Armstrong’s exciting cliffhangers and short chapters that make one want to keep going, and going until it’s 2 in the morning and the mystery is revealed. The titular Hemlock Island is owned by author/writer, Laney. Well the cabin…

Saddlehill Academy
10 years since readers were introduced to Sasha Silver and Lauren Towers, and we are back! But not to the colonial greens of Canterwood Crest. Instead we head a few hours away to the rolling lawns of Saddlehill Academy where a new horse girl aspires to live up to her idols while facing drama at…

Book of the Month: Bobbie Faye’s Very (very, very) Bad Day
I think I covered this one quite a bit in my original review and didn’t glean new insights upon rereading it so I’ll primarily focus on my friend’s thoughts. Primarily, she thought it was hilarious and her Louisiana friend confirmed that some of the crazy situations felt like it could fit in Baton Rogue in…

Author Highlight: Lauren Myracle
The 70s and 80s brought us Judy Blume who gave the kids stories they needed and wanted to read about their lives, their fears, and questions about themselves. She was honest without being preachy, fun without being too silly. She got kids and their trials in growing up in this messed up world. I’d argue…

Mr. and Mrs. X
Well, you’ve got me at a delightful time when after watching X-Men ’97, I’m into a GambitxRogue obsession. Well moreso, Gambit, but they’re so so good together! I mean, the endless tension where she cannot touch him without hurting him. He, the rougish (ha!) thief that is so devoted to her despite the struggles. The…
