This epistoloary novel is made up of letters from Twinkle to her favorite female directors like Ava Duv, Mira Nair, Nora Ephron etc. (they’re more diary entries than letters really) that immediately bring readers up to speed to who Twinkle Mehra is. A junior in high school, Twinkle dreams of becoming a film-maker and despite…

You might be able to guess from the title but this middle grade book brings its own tiktok take on the feel-good movie, 13 Going on 30. I’m surprised it hasn’t been done before since it’s so beloved. At least it’s something new from the constant variations of Freaky Friday. Harper Lancaster is thrilled that…

This new series brings readers the origin stories of some of Disney’s most notorious villains. Okay, they already have several books focusing on this topic but Benway’s book is more focused on a canonical reasoning for how the Tremine sisters became the ugly steps they are.

It’s the 400th post already! I know I’m surprised too, and it’s not even this blog’s anniversary. Anyway, I thought I’d do another Archie post for the occasion and what better choice than the latest, epic one-shot Archie vs the World! Since the editors so enjoyed the team of Aubrey Sitterson’s writing and Jed Dougherty’s…

This was a sweet romance coming from one of the most unexpected (and worst) first meetings. Rishi Patal comes up to introduce himself Dimple Shah, joking about starting their lives together as future husband and wife. Understandably, she not knowing who this wacko is, throws coffee in his face. Let’s back up a bit.

I’ll admit I’m not coming to this blind as I read the sequel series first (I know, I know but Link and Ridley’s prologue for Dangerous Creatures was so much more intriguing to me than this one) and I saw the film adaptation when it first came out which is why I read said sequel…

Tieri and Flynn bring Superduck to the 21st century as part of Archie Comics’ general reboot of all its properties and what a reboot it was! The original Superduck harbors a lot of similarities to Donald Duck being hotheaded avians with hen-pecking girlfriends and mischievous nephews. However, Superduck gains his powers from biting super vitamins…

After all the world-travelling Cat has been doing, she’s glad to be back home in good ol’ England even if the sight of Drury Lane in rubble still hurts. Better yet, she has finally cured Billy of his affections for her (a months long ship voyage and rambling carriage rides in close quarters can do…
