Because someone is taking a looong time to read and return Flawless to the library, I decided to get my Sara Shepard fix by reading her Amateurs trilogy. Taking a step away from the mean popular girl gets murdered and her friends must figure out the truth premise that cover her Pretty Little Liars/The Lying…

So here…

Sabrina the Teenage Witch Vol 2 Review

So I absolutely loved the last issue of Sabrina and this continuation delivers more epic witch battles and displays the strength and growth that Sabrina quickly acquired during her hectic first month.

Sabrina the Teenage Witch Vol 1 Review

This delightful new iteration of everyone’s favorite teenage witch is sure to delight all her fans. At least I was sure delighted. In fact, I loved it. The first pages where Sabrina wakes up for her first day in her new school and banters with Salem about the use of her powers, you know exactly…

Author Highlight: Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie

George O’Connor Interview

I think it’s a kind of kismet that my 100th post was a review of Dionysos: The New God. Now my 200th post was a lovely interview with The Olympians creator himself, George O’Connor! Here he dives deep into his thoughts on mythology, and his other works including the historical Journey Into Mohawk Country, nonfiction…

My Favorite Archie Digest

You must wonder how I could have a favorite out of the hundreds and thousands digests out there and the answer simply came about from sentimentality and nostalgia-fuel. So this is entirely my opinion.

In the Country We Love Review

Interview with Jessica Burkhart

First off, for those who didn’t grow up in the early 2000s when Canterwood Crest first came out, how did you get started? I started really, really young as a freelance writer. Like, I was 14 when I started pursuing writing for publication. Over the years, I did regular work for several different (many now…
