• Classics Remixed

  If you’re ever in the mood for a classic but aren’t in the mindset to translate the sometimes archaic eighteenth/nineteenth century language and lengthy descriptors, or just plain want classic characters that look like you and apply to your experiences, try Feiwel & Friends’ latest line, Classics Remixed.

• Tokyo Ever After/Tokyo Dreaming

  After reading The Princess Diaries, this duology also got on my radar of similar themes of an American girl suddenly finding out that she’s the illigitimate daughter of a prince and heads over for a crash course in protocol, paparazzi and romance. And yes, those similarities do pop up as there’s a lot Mia, and…

  Queenie by Candice Carty-Williams Someone said that this was like a modern Bridget Jones Diary but I’d say this was a bit deeper than that.
