• 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…

• Ranking The Gilded Age Girls Club trilogy

  Here’s a little break from regency romances in the UK ton. Rodale’s trilogy is set in the hustle and bustle of Manhattan with working women and womanly pursuits at its center. Here’s my ranking of Maya Rodale’s The Gilded Age Girl’s Club.

• Top 5 Clique Books

  I know these books get a bad rep for promoting bullying but I never seen it that way. I mean it’s just fiction, it’s not like people are saying Gossip Girl promotes teens to sleep their way out of everything. If anything both series shows how bad it is to live your life that way.…

• Ranking The Hathaways series

  After finishing Bridgerton, I needed a new historical romance to keep me tide over and since I’ve heard Kleypas’ name several times (and her covers are beautiful) I decided to tackle the Hathaways. Another eccentric family of siblings and my final post for the month of love. 1: Love in the Afternoon. Kleypas’ final book…

• Ranking the Bridgerton series

  After finishing the first season of Bridgerton last year I delved right into the books which, let’s admit it, were better than the series. At least I thought The Duke and I (which the first season is based on) was much funnier and the couple had more chemistry than in the show so I’m going…

• Rachel’s Diverse Reads of 2021

  I decided last year to expand my reading from the deliciously fun backstabbing frenemy series like Gossip Girl and Beauty Queens to a group diverse YA standalone book so here are my reviews. They’re a bit short since I wrote it after I read all the books, which again was over the year, so it’s…
