• July Books

  Bloomability by Sharon Creech I’ve always liked the cover of this book but I never actually read it. Until this month that is. It’s about a young girl, Domenica aka Dinnie who’s been kidnapped to Switzerland. Well, not really kidnapped. Her family is having lots of dysfunction that the eleven year old doesn’t comprehend so…

• Book of the Month: The Duke and I

  After my friend’s sister insisted she choose this book for book club with the “It’s like a modern Jane Austen,” we finished and my friend’s expectations fell short. Very short. As she kept saying when we finished “This isn’t like Jane Austen at all. Jane Austen didn’t write about horny people. I mean, they probably…

• Rose & Thorn Review

  Rose and Thorn is a pretty obscure Superman villain. Well, technically Thorn is the villainous alter ego of Rose, and when I first saw her on the cover of a Superman comic, I thought she was a discount Poison Ivy. Fun fact, she actually appeared first. Obviously didn’t get as popular but still. However, when…

• Thea Sisters

  Technically it’s the Thea Stilton series but since she only figures about a 1/4th of page time than her proteges, I’m just calling it the Thea Sisters series of which has spawned as many spin-offs as the Geronimo series. Seriously, there’s like 4 spin-off series ontop of the original one which is still going so…

• Book of the Month: Spy x Family

  Honestly, not much to delve into her as I reread the first volume of Spy x Family for book club. Okay, there was a little as hindsight allows me to appreciate Twilight’s mission all the more. First, reading it you think he is like any other heroic archtype in his intense devotion to his country…

• Nancy Drew 8-9

  Now I’m only two away from finishing the series, let’s get to it. The Clue in the Diary is one of the first Nancy Drew books I remember. Primarily because I was terrified of fire when I was little so even the cover looked daunting but I also was perversely fascinated because I wanted to…

• Magic Tree House: Merlin Missions

  I have finished my mission to read all the Merlin Missions. And the series except for the latest book because it has a long waiting list as it should. Some series don’t stand the test of time much less resonate with a new generation (usually by retconning the old which makes no one happy) but…
