  • Ranking Finishing School

    1. Etiquette & Espionage: Now I’ll admit maybe this series would have been more enjoyable to me if I had read the Parasoul Protectorate first, I mean I was a bit confused that this was steampunk London and vampires/werewolves exist? It was all a surprise but that’s why the first book in the series gets…

  • Top 5 Bella Sara

    1. Nike’s Great Race: This one gets number one because I just love pegasuses. Pegusi? Either way, they’re just so cool and I love the flowy scarfs and such that’s decorated on Nike too. Really, I love the cover illustration. As for the plot, I do enjoy Marta’s story as she defends her family home…

  • Ranking Fairygodmother Academy

    1. Kerka’s Book. Kerka is the latest in the line of her family to undergo the journey to Aventurine and wield the Kalis sticks. She’s thrilled as it is a family honor but that adventure is dimmed by the recent loss of her mother and the distance between her and her sisters. In fact, her…

  • Top 5 Twitches

    1. Double Jeopardy: This was such a big change in the status quo. The girls meet their mother for the first time which I appreciate how the authors made it realistic in that it is not all happy and easy. The gils are uneasy with her and actually are more focused on their foster family…

  • Ranking The Hollywood Sisters

    1. Backstage Pass: Again maybe it’s nostalgia, maybe it’s the rose-tinted glasses but whenever I read this, I fall in love with it all over again so this gets the number one spot. The wit, the fun, the inadverted celebrity jinx Jessica brings to all the guest stars. This was as an excellent introduction into…

  • Notable Author: Erin Hunter

    Though I suppose I should authors since Erin Hunter is the nom de plume of several different authors. But honestly this post isn’t about them. I decide to go on a binge and reread these series. Well reread the first series, the rest are entirely new to me and see if they still hold up.…

  • Queer Romance

    Paris Daillencourt Is About To Crumble is the second book in Hall’s Winner Bakes All series and is delivers just enough of the Bake Expectations to satisfy Great British Baking Show fans while also creating a sweet albeit difficult romance between Paris and Tariq. Paris has issues, primarily crippling anxiety though he doesn’t get diagnosed…

  • Cat’s Cradle Review

    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…

After all, she can’t rely on others forever and she dearly misses the paint and organized chaos of Drury Lane. So she and…

    There may be nine on the cover but this is only the fourth tale of our intrepid redhead adventuress. This time, she’s off exploring the new world. She had been staying with the Avons as her beloved theatre is being rebuilt for the next year but finds it stifling to be a lady. She can’t…
