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…

Avalon High Review
Since reading School for Good and Evil (and my roommate binging Merlin) I got interested in the story of Arthur, Camelot and all that jazz. I don’t know why it never interested me before but it’s actually really cool! I mean the big prophecy, shady relatives and a sizzling love triangle. So I headed right…

Quarentine Princess Diaries
Ah yes, the long awaited return of Mia Thermopolis of Genovia. Or maybe not so much long awaited but a fun surprise! Much like Royal Wedding, Mia’s story ended nicely with her tenth diary but it is such a delight to see the familiar cast of characters and how they’ve grown especially in the most…

Princess Diaries #10-11 ReRead
Can you believe it’s been 4 years since Mia found out she was a princess? I can’t, but it’s lovely to see how much Mia has grown by the time of Forever Princess. Probably with the help of a lot of therapy but she seems much more calm and in control of herself, knowing what…

Princess Diaries #7-9 ReRead
Well Party Princess started with a bang in my opinion revealing that the student government is in debt so there’s no way for Mia to implement any of her policy ideas like Cans or Bottles buckets so students will be more enviromentally responsible. Obviously, not the biggest priority for Mia’s family like Grandmere who is…

Thoughts on Allie Finkle
So I did my reread and I think it holds up for the most part. It is definately too young for anyone who reads it after lower-school. It’s almost quaint to read how Allie’s biggest problems are eating foods she doesn’t like and the worst insult is “crybaby.” Simpler times. Especially as she and her…

Ranking Allie Finkle’s Rules for Girls
1. Best Friends and Drama Queens: This was really enjoyable as it was relatable. the new girl, Cheyenne seems super cool and everyone wants to befriend her including Allie and her group. Her stories about Canada (ah the days when you were young and Canada seemed as far away as Europe) and latest fashion make…

Summer Romances
Pride, Prejudice and Other Flavors by Sonali Dev It’s easy to get overwhelmed by the flux of Pride and Prejudice adaptations and wonder if there can be any new spin to the Jane Austen classic. Well Sonali not only brings a new spin but elevates the classic by further exploring the themes of classism that…

The Princess Diaries #1-3 ReRead
After finishing Stephanie Plum I decided to dive into a new reread with The Princess Diaries since my memory is a bit spotty after the first two books.We all know about Mia Thermopolis and her eventual reign of Genovia’s throne whether it is from the beloved series or the movies starring Anne Hathway. So here…
