  • Ranking Magic Attic Club Specials

    Another series from a small publisher, also connected to a store catalogue of dolls, clothes and acessories, the Magic Attic Club follows four (later five) friends who befriend their neighbor, Ellie. She owns the titular attic where, when the girls put on the amazing outfits, they’re transported to out of this world adventures from going…

  • Ranking Kat the Time Traveler

    It’s the summer so I’m back on my summer reread. Which is a lot of kids book, mainly from the late 90s. Yes, they’re generic and cliche but they’re also very comfortable like an old. . . like an old book. Anyway, let’s get to it. The premise follows 10 year old Kat and her…

  • Ranking Girlhood Journeys

    Now this series may be more popular in the doll collectors circle, but I’ve always been more into books than dolls and read each trillogy assigned to each doll that tells a little about what it is like for ten year olds back in their respective time periods. There’s also a 13th book about a…

  • Ranking The Chronicles of Prydian

    No, not the Disney movie, the Disney movie butchered the books if that’s what you’re thinking of when it comes to The Black Cauldron. But you wouldn’t be reading this if you were into the Disney movie, would you? I’ve noticed I have made my rankings longer than necessary by describing the plot which I…

  • Ranking Last Chance Scoundrels

    Leigh’s latest trilogy Last Chance Scoundrels series offers sweet romance mixed with spirited heroines, rakish rouges and lots of smut. You’re classic regency romance but who can’t love it. It starts with such an intresting situation when the Ransome brothers, Finn and Kieran aid their friend, Dominic Kilburn in jilting their sister. They had noble…

  • Ranking Love by Numbers

  • Ranking The Clandestine Affairs

    Just like Tessa Dare’s Girl Meet Duke series, this trilogy was all 5 stars for me so the ranking was very hard to do. Just minor things edged one out of the number two spot since they were all so good. 2. Her Night with the Duke: During one stormy night at the Black Swan…

  • Ranking Girl Meets Duke

    However, with all the deals, games and wagers, it might be better called Casino Ducal. Alas, there’s no casinos so the title would not be accurate. What the series includes is plenty of surprising first impressions, steamy liasons and will-they-won’t-they between a quartet of misfit girls and the mad, bad, dangerous to know dukes who…

  • Ranking xoxo, Betty and Veronica

    Since reading it last month, I must say this brief trilogy still holds up. It has all the fun of the Archie comic without the 20 page limit (that’s usually how long it is for an extra special story compared to the usual 5 pages), including friendship moments, cameos of other Riverdale teens and just…

  • Ranking The Union of the Rakes

    This regency romance has a special 80s twist as each novel takes homage from big screen classics like Flashdance, The Breakfast Club, and so on. I’ll confess I did not realize this until I read the Acknowledgement pages, and since the only 80s movies I’ve seen were Flashdance, and The Breakfast Club, I cannot tell…
