  • Reading Log 2023

    Last year, I read an amazing 500 books so this year it was only reasonable that I reach a little more and try to get to 600. I didn’t. I got to 700 books!! And yes, maybe it’s considered “cheating” if you count those graphic novels and lower grade books that are easy to read…

  • Book Highlight: Rapunzel’s Revenge & Calamity jack

    If you like Westerns and if you like fairytales, these are for you! Really, they should be everyone cuz comics are cool but that’d be too after-school special. However, I just found it amazing because the fairytale genre just doesn’t have a lot of western AUs. School or towns full of fairytale characters, yes. Erotic…

  • Ranking A:TLA stand-alone comics

  • Ranking W.i.t.c.h. arcs (again)

    I know I said I’d redo this once I read all the arcs but since arc 10 and arc 11 aren’t going to be published until next year, I decided just to add my thoughts on Arc 9 now before I forget it too much. Unfortunately, it ranks the very last as I’ll explain below.

  • Books for Women’s History Month

    It’s women’s history month again! And since last year I did a 8 part series of books one can read, I’m just relisting them here. You can search the tags by title or author to check out my thoughts and summaries on them. But basically one could choose to read a book a day for…

  • January Books 2023

    TJ Powar Has Something to Prove by Jesmeen Kaur Deo This debut novel tackles several issues that are rarely discussed in YA due to the stigma and shame surrounding it, and that’s why it is needed. TJ Powar is the school’s reigning debate champ alongside her cousin, Simran. She’s also considered one of the prettiest…

  • Reading Log 2022

    Well I feel pretty proud of myself this year from starting up this blog, getting up to 292 posts (woot woot) and being able to interview at leat 20 authors I admired. It has been a pretty good Now this list is a list of books I read from cover to cover, including acknowledgements. Each…

  • Grishaverse: The Demon in the Wood Review

    Last year, Bardugo surprised fans with a prequel focusing on everyone’s favorite bad guy, the Darkling aka Aleksander. In graphic novel form! Now I’ll admit I’m not one of his many fans. Don’t get me wrong, he does his part well in being a worthy catalyst, villain, foil etc. But I didn’t fall for his…

  • Ranking W.I.T.C.H. Arcs

    Yes, W.I.T.C.H. the arguably bit darker, more convulated rival to Winx Club. I enjoyed this one just as much especially the second season of the tv show that was unfortunately cut too soon. At least there’s plenty of comics to enjoy. I also know there’s eleven arcs, but the US has only released the first…
