• Summer YA

  Debating Darcy by Sayantani DasGupta While I’m usually iffy with Pride and Prejudice adaptations since they’re everywhere, there’s always one that manages a new spin to it that makes me enjoy the story all over again. It helps that the protagonist, Elizabeth is a musical nerd so I immediately connect with her as she sings…

• Summer Comics/Manga

  Princess Jellyfish by Akiko Higashimura This fun manga follows a group of amars/okuta (women who don’t need men/adult fangirls) as they try to save their building from being sold to greedy developers by creating their own fashion line. Tsukimi is the star of it, and as you can guess from the title, her specific obssession…

• DC Ink

  Raven by Kami Garcia I believe this is the start of Garcia’s Teen Titans books for DC Ink. Well they were the start for me at least and it gets right into the action of a fatal car crash. Raven has amnesia, and her mother is dead. Luckily, she still has her aunt and cousin…

• Summer Romances

  Pride, Prejudice and Other Flavors by Sonali Dev It’s easy to get overwhelmed by the flux of Pride and Prejudice adaptations and wonder if there can be any new spin to the Jane Austen classic. Well Sonali not only brings a new spin but elevates the classic by further exploring the themes of classism that…

• The Dark Artifices Lookback

  Ah yes, Clare’s biggest trilogy to date and admittedly my least favorite. Maybe I’m just getting burnt out, or maybe I’m just not connecting to the characters but I won’t be revisiting this series as much as the other two.

• My Favorite Archie Digest

  You must wonder how I could have a favorite out of the hundreds and thousands digests out there and the answer simply came about from sentimentality and nostalgia-fuel. So this is entirely my opinion.

• In the Country We Love Review

  Originally this was goung to be a review but how can you review a memoir. They’re personal, and heartfelt and also helpfully co-written so they’re usually articulated and well-structured.

• Archie-Josie Crossovers

  It’s pretty easy to guess that the most popular spin off from Archie comics is Josie and the Pussycats. Perhaps even more popular considering how their movie became a cult favorite. And everyone knows their theme song- Josie and the Pussycats, long tails and ears for hats! That’s why it’s always a treat when the…

• Stephanie Plum #28-29

  Technically not a reread as this is the first time I’ve read these Plum books, but also not a review since I was reading for entertainment, not to look for things that are good or bad. So these are just my thoughts on the latest Plum offerings. As one can see by the titles alone…
