I’ve already discussed my thoughts on the book in my previous Ranking the Bridgerton series post- see tags, and not much changed. I love the sweetness of the romance since…

• Top 5 I Am Canada

  I finally got my hands on this Scholastic series for our Northern neighbors. Much like the My Name is America books, this male-focused line tackles the journals of young men at important historical junctures in Canadian history. It seemed to be short-lived as there were only thirteen novels, but they were a rollicking ride. Unlike…

• Series Highlight: I Survived

  Funny story. Even though I have seen this series around for years (it was first published around 2009), it was placed next to the “Choose your own adventure” series and like an idiot, I judged it by the cover and thought it was another one of thsoe with cooler covers. Fast forward to last month,…
