• Ranking Hotel for Dogs trilogy

  Lois Duncan is best known for her horror and supernatural mystery work that has spawned countless movie adaptations like I Know What You Did Last Summer but after the tragic unsolved murder of her daughter, she pivoted to lighter fare in children’s literature. Most notably, the Hotel for Dogs trilogy, so let’s get ranking.

• Ranking Die Kitty Die

  For fans of Arhie comics, Ruiz and Parent put their considerable talent into their personal Kickstarter project Die Kitty Die! This Cheryl-look alike is Kitty Ravencroft, a witch whose adventures have dominated comics for decades. But it seems she has lost her charms and her creator has decided on a great publicity stunt to regain…

• Ranking Commercial Breaks

  You may think commercials are those nuisances interrupting your favorite shows but for these girls, being famous for thirty seconds is a big deal. Commercial acting is its own world with its own terms, protocols and competition that Kain makes as exciting as any Hollywood set.

• Ranking Jem and the Holograms

  After rereading the series over the year, I have to rank the arcs because let’s face it, some are just more totally outrageous than others.

• Ranking The Hero’s Guide trilogy

  Everyone knows the story of Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, Rapunzel and Snow White, but the truth is the bards got a lot wrong. For instance, all those Princes Charmings have a name, and their stories have cast them aside in various embarassing ways. But it’s not the annoying songs that bring the princes together. That all…

• Ranking Grimmtastic Girls

  So I’m the third series before I finish my fractured fairytale TBR pile. I was a big fan of Holub and Williams’ Goddess Girls series so they take the school AU to the fairytale universe. That trope is very popular, so let’s see how they rank up.

• Ranking Once Upon Another Time

  Riley returns to the series that started his career. Though the dimension has no name, the fairytale characters are larger than ever. Except Lena. She’s a giant, only she’s 12 feet tall. She’s more like a taller than average human and a doll to the giants. She’s been hidden from her people most of her…

• Ranking Royal Academy Rebels

  Calonita’s spin off/concurrent trilogy, Royal Academy Rebels brings readers back to the kingdom of Enchantsia. Only, it’s not the reformed villains who are in trouble. It’s the royals with their tiaras and ballgowns that bring the revolution. Actually, it’s one specific royal who doesn’t quite fit the box. Devin of the Nile couldn’t care less…
