• Ranking The Turners

  Courtney Milan’s Turner series follows a trio of brothers who come from a gentry class and thoroughly impacted in different ways by their religiously-mad mother. All grown up they have suffered her mark and hold quite a bit of bagge within themselves and in their relationships with each other. All grown-up, the eldest brother, Ash…

• Ranking Archie “New Looks”

  Yes, the new more realistic style of the early 200s that sent shockwaves through the Archie fandom from those who were excited by this new style and those who were apalled. Either way, it provided new stories, new characters and new fun from everyone’s favorite teenagers. The Matchmakers: If anti-dating, food loving Jughead falling in…

• Ranking The Loyal League

  Alyssa Cole’s Loyal League trilogy takes a romance to a little explored era, the Civil War. Okay maybe it’s explored a bit but this is a lot more than star crossed southern belle and Yankee soldier. This series follows three detectives of the Loyal League, freed and enslaved people who follow Loyalty, Liberty, Love and…

• Ranking The Mother-Daughter Book Club

  Home for the Holidays: Home for the Holidays takes top spot for being one of the few holiday novels that I’m interested in. Yeah, I confess I’m not a magical Christmas fan. But this one makes me feel the spirit. It also has the riveting addition of Becca having a POV after three years of…

• Ranking The Wallflowers

  Devil in Winter: This was my favorite as it is very Beauty and the Beast-esque. The shyest and richest wallflower, Evie Jenner enter a Faustian deal with the rakish Lord Sebastian St. Vincent. Marriage so she can escape her abusive relatives and he can have more finances to pump into his gentleman’s club. It’s just…

• The Mortal Instruments Series Lookback

  Originally I was going to write one huge post after I finished all of Cassandra Clare’s Shadowhunter universe books, but as it has been almost four years and I still have two books to go, I figured I should start writing now as I’m forgotting some of my original thoughts after four years. These things…

• Ranking Jane Austen

  Sense and Sensibility: This one is a bit from bias because I liked the pictures best in the kids version I read before getting into the real version. Even so, I enjoyed how it focuses on family as much as romance. And having Elinor and Marianna as protagonists offer two heroines for readers to relate…

• Ranking The Smythe-Smith Quartet

  Ah yes, the Smythe-Smiths, the terribly talentless quartet that graces Bridgertons pages with its bad music. It is a family tradition though for each girl to play in the annual recital until they die or get married, whichever comes first. So here I rank the stories of the ladies behind the instruments. 1. A Night…

• Ranking Forgotten History Books

  I adore Ruta Sepetys’ Forgotten History books. They all have short two page or one page chapters which make it compelling to read as it always makes you want to turn the next page for more and before you know it, you’ve read 300 pages of emotional turmoil, resistance, spirit and heartbreak. Now the Forgotten…

• Smith High Rankings

  Marni Bates’ Smith High series is endearing awkward but also a lot of fun so now I shall rank them from favorite to okay. Invisible Jane Smith, the averagely named school reporter wishes she wasn’t so average anymore. She hadn’t always wanted this. In fact she was content to be on the sidelines until her…
