Top Candy Apple books

Does anyone remember this imprint? It was tweenage drama and fun, which I sadly think it’s defunct now, but it was all the rage in scholastic bookfair mags and my mom bought them by the bundle. So in honor of those sparkly apples, here are my faves. 1. Wish you were here, Liza/See you soon,…

Summer ReReads P1

I don’t know about anyone else but I am the kind of person who likes to reread and rewatch my favorite things once a year. That being during the summer because I have a lot of time to relax and enjoy. Why I chose these specifically, I don’t know really. Nostalgia probably. Also that I…

Mysteries and Supernatural series

Mysteries Codename: Dancer by Amanda Brice What happens when you mix Dance Academy with murder, you get snarky ballerina sleuth Dani Spevak series. I like how it tries to keep it realistic like a modern day Nancy Drew, and Dani’s voice was very fun to read. Good YA mystery series. The Lying Game by Sara…

Dynamic Dames by Sloan DeForest This is a great addition to any TCM or feminist library going into 50 iconic female roles from Jane Eyre to The Bride and the actresses that portrayed them, showing how their characters influenced and widened the scope of how women can be portrayed in film and make a difference…

Books about Books

Of the heroines and the authors behind…

Juicy Drama Series

I love a good juicy drama, backstabbing, high fashion, television, that’s how I got into reading and now I feel compelled to share it with everyone on the internet. Even as it painfully dates me to an early 2000s girl (the best era, let’s be honest), and most of these are from the now unfortunately…

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.…
