• These Girls Review

  This book is about three roommates, Cate, Abby and Renee all as they navigate love and work as 20-30 somethings. Once again, Sarah brings realism and heart to her work as she weaves their lives together. They make mistakes, they hurt people, but they also stand by each other and that’s what makes me love…

• The Perfect Neighbors Review

  The Perfect Neighbors by Sarah Pekkanen is the first book I’ve read by the author and it was so good, I went on to read the rest of her realistic fiction catalogue. At least the ones available in my library.

• Twisted Tales: Tale as Old as Time Review

  Ah, one of my favorites, and Braswell did a lovely job with her twist of “What if Belle’s mother cursed the beast?” Yes, everyone Belle’s mother is alive and she’s the infamous Enchantress that kicks the whole story off.

• Twisted Tales: Straight On Till Morning Review

  Braswell explores the scenario of ”What if Wendy first traveled to Neverland with Captain Hook?” which is a great twist indeed. Here Wendy, John and Michael never went on their grand adventure to Neverland after Nana catches Pan’s shadow. Rather Nana caught Pan’s shadow but he has never appeared to them. Now years later, Wendy…

• Take the Monkeys and Run Review

  The first book in the Barbara Marr Mysteries series by Karen Cantwell is just as funny as advertised. This comedic mystery follows movie lover and housewife, Barbara Marr as she stews with the inexplicable development of her husband moving out of the house because “he needs space.” Yeah, I’d be furious too if my husband…

• Hamilton and Peggy: A Revolutionary Friendship Review

  Hamilton and Peggy is a perfect addition for a Hamilton fan or a historical fiction fan. L.M. Elliot skillfully interweaves historical facts and documents with emotional resonance that makes these characters don’t feel like disnant historical figures or amazing musical heroes but just real people living in the Revolution.

• Betty and Veronica: The Bond of Friendship Review

  A serviceable entry into the Archie-verse of stories as part of their new Blue Ribbon imprint which is specifically for the company’s graphic novels. I enjoyed Brittany Williams’ pie-eyed style with its vivid, bubblt color palette which perfectly fit the tone of the story of various imaginative scenarios of potential B&V career aspirations. Rather than…

• Reggie and Me Review

  Part of the New Archie Comics that seeks to bring that Archie brand of humor and hijinks with some more realism and depth, Tom DeFalco’s look into Riverdale’s resident class clown and town jerk is superb.

• Bloody Jack Review

  Ah yes, the first in L.A Meyer’s ship-faring, sailor girl series. I actually have this series before, and by read, I meant skimmed. So while I knew the basics of the plot, this is my first time actually reading it, and I enjoyed it very much.

  Excluding Archie. That will be its own post. Fiction Nathan Hale’s Hazerdous Tales by Nathan Hale Modern day Hale (same name, no relation) uses the famous Revolutionary spy, Nathan Hale (of “My one regret is that I have one life to give” fame) to narrate adventures and incidents throughout history.
