• Ranking the Incorrigible Children of Ashton Place

  This delightfully Snicket-esque series was fun to reread even as an adult as Penelope Lumely’s adventures with the feral Ashton children are filled with humor, wit, and mystery.

• Ranking The Friendship Ring

  This 1998-2000 series precisely disects, and relives to the messiness of friendship and adolescence. As the first protagonist introduces the series, seventh grade is where hormones hit you and you end up crying on the bathroom floor over nothing. Something Zoe Grandon thought she’d never do. But then again, she never thought she’d get a…

• Ranking Wondergirls

  No, no, not the Kpop group from the 2000s Wonder Girls. I’m talking about the early 2000s book series from Scholastic by Jillian Brooks. It’s generic as it’s all about four girls and their ups and downs in the ever complicated girl world of friendship but it’s a solid series I believe like a disney…

• Ranking Magic Attic Club Specials

  Another series from a small publisher, also connected to a store catalogue of dolls, clothes and acessories, the Magic Attic Club follows four (later five) friends who befriend their neighbor, Ellie. She owns the titular attic where, when the girls put on the amazing outfits, they’re transported to out of this world adventures from going…

• Ranking Kat the Time Traveler

  It’s the summer so I’m back on my summer reread. Which is a lot of kids book, mainly from the late 90s. Yes, they’re generic and cliche but they’re also very comfortable like an old. . . like an old book. Anyway, let’s get to it. The premise follows 10 year old Kat and her…

• Ranking Girlhood Journeys

  Now this series may be more popular in the doll collectors circle, but I’ve always been more into books than dolls and read each trillogy assigned to each doll that tells a little about what it is like for ten year olds back in their respective time periods. There’s also a 13th book about a…

• Ranking The Chronicles of Prydian

  No, not the Disney movie, the Disney movie butchered the books if that’s what you’re thinking of when it comes to The Black Cauldron. But you wouldn’t be reading this if you were into the Disney movie, would you? I’ve noticed I have made my rankings longer than necessary by describing the plot which I…

• Ranking Last Chance Scoundrels

  Leigh’s latest trilogy Last Chance Scoundrels series offers sweet romance mixed with spirited heroines, rakish rouges and lots of smut. You’re classic regency romance but who can’t love it. It starts with such an intresting situation when the Ransome brothers, Finn and Kieran aid their friend, Dominic Kilburn in jilting their sister. They had noble…

• Ranking The Clandestine Affairs

  Just like Tessa Dare’s Girl Meet Duke series, this trilogy was all 5 stars for me so the ranking was very hard to do. Just minor things edged one out of the number two spot since they were all so good. 2. Her Night with the Duke: During one stormy night at the Black Swan…
