• Neurotic Hitwoman #5-6

  Lynn’s Neurotic Hitwoman series is pulling all cylinders when it comes to making Maggie insane. If she didn’t have the crazy gene from her mother, she might end up in the nuthouse thanks to her non-clinical insane, but still dysfunctional family. Whom she now has to live with since her apartment blew up. Yikes!

• Author Highlight: Dahlia Adler

  I read Adler’s Going Bicoastal a few years ago (go look into the tags for my thoughts on it) and since it was fine, and since she pops up on so many of my bookstagram stories, I decided to give the rest of her YA catalogue a try. Perfect since she’s just released another one…

• Girls Survive

  I found this at my summer, and if you’re into historical fiction or action-packed disaster, then this is the series for you. Initially I thought this was a rip-off of the ultra-popular I Survived series by Lauren Tarish. They have a lot of the same premise of a kid surviving a famous or underrated event…

• Three Girls in the City

  Horse girls may be more familiar with Jeanne Betancourt for her popular Pony Pals series, here she takes a different slice of life approach with, as the title says, Three Girls in the City. The premise is as follows: NYC, 2002. Three 13 year-old girls meet at a summer photo Carolyn, fresh from Wyoming, motherless…

• My Sister the Vampire

  Yes, I return to the world of early 2000s nostalgia with this series-My Sister the Vampire. This time I read all eighteen books. Here’s the initial premise. When Olivia Abbott moves to town, she’s excited to join the cheerleading team and make new friends. Then she meets Ivy Vega. At first, Ivy, pale and dressed…

• The Charlotte Years

  I did it! I did it! Yay, yay, I did it! Finally finished the Little House books. So proud of myself. And that’s pretty much the most exciting thing I can say about the quartet. Much like The Martha Years, four books over the ages of 5-12 is not enough time to see dynamic growth.…

• High School AUs

  What is it about them that draws people in? Is it that there is a enclosed space where you have your friends, enemies, and frenemies all in one place making it a perfect breeding ground for conflict and hijinks? Is it because it harkens to the author and readers’ nostalgia of the glory days? Is…

• Hispanic Books

  I know, I know, technically Hispanic heritage month isn’t until October but I read all of these at such a close period together, I wanted to put it out now. Besides it’s my blog, I can do what I want, and just in time for Daria’s final Primas of Power novel coming out at the…

• Series Highlight: I Survived

  Funny story. Even though I have seen this series around for years (it was first published around 2009), it was placed next to the “Choose your own adventure” series and like an idiot, I judged it by the cover and thought it was another one of thsoe with cooler covers. Fast forward to last month,…
