• Families in Graphic Novels

  Fun Home by Alison Bechdel Truthfully, I was going to look for the musical first but when I saw this in the library I figured I should see the source material, and wow. I didn’t have any idea what it was about other than it was an memoir of family dysfunction so it really threw…

• 4 books-Mini Reviews

  I was going to put all 4 titles but it looked clunky. Now here’s 4 books I read over April that were good but I didn’t feel like they warranted one big review each. Dangerous Play by Emma Kress Now this teaches me not to judge a book by its cover or title or summary.…

• Author Highlight: Gail Carson Levine

  Now I already wrote about the books of hers that I adore in my Favorite Fairytale Books and Favorite Fairy Books which gives you a clue as to which she genre she excels in. In fact her most famous novel is the Cinderella retelling, Ella Enchanted (its movie also helped shoot Anne Hathway to movie…

• On the Come Up Reread

  I read this about three years ago I think, but I didn’t remember much of it as compared to its predecessor The Hate U Give. But to be fair, On the Come Up is a solid book, it’s just I had to read THUG about five times for three different classes so it just stuck…

Starting from her childhood in Puerto Rico, Moreno paints a rich picture of the world and the brother she left behind when her mother unexpectedly picks her up to travel to New York for new opportunities and a new husband. There it is…

• Top 5 My Sister The Vampire

  Does anyone else remember this series by Sienna Mercer? I do and I think other people should read it too for a light Buffy the Vampire Slayer esque middle grade series (think Buffy flair and integration of vampires in real world, not the show’s violence and darker themes). Vampilicious The fourth book was an excellent…

• Top 4 Meg Cabot books

  Girl meet Boy series This fun, frothy romcom series is written entirely in epistolotory form. meaning that it’s written in emails, texts, and such. No prose, which makes it a very fast read as the characters swap gossip, get into miscommunications and get sexy. The romances all share small-town girls falling for outsider city boys,…
