• I enjoy Emily Starr

  I reread Emily of New Moon last month and I must say, Anne Shirley gets all the fame but I believe Emily should be the one that is praised.

• The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes Review

  This book was certainly full of surprises. I’ll admit, I didn’t read this when it first came out because it seemed unnecessary. I mean who wanted a book about President Snow? And about yet another District 12 tribute, especially as we already know what will happen? But those low expectations were probably a good thing…

• June Books

  Friday I’m in Love by Camryn Garret Mahira always wanted a sweet sixteen, was promised one but socioeconomic difficulties made the big event fall through. But inspired by her best friend’s Sweet 16 and her annoyance with the required “coming out” convention as a life changing announcement rather than a celebration-Mahira decides to make it…

• Ranking the Incorrigible Children of Ashton Place

  This delightfully Snicket-esque series was fun to reread even as an adult as Penelope Lumely’s adventures with the feral Ashton children are filled with humor, wit, and mystery.

• The School for Good and Evil: Quests for Glory Review

  Ah yes, the Camelot Years. Agatha, Tedros and Sophie had thought that they completed their fairytale but a new evil is rising and everything that they thought was true is about to be undone.

• An Island Princess Starts a Scandal Review

  The second book is always interesting to read as you may encounter sophmore slump after the dazzling debut or it exceeds expectations. Herrera’s novel, of course, is the latter as it is just as layered and wonderful as the first in Las Leonas series. Anyone who loves historical romance should go read it and this…

• Ranking The Friendship Ring

  This 1998-2000 series precisely disects, and relives to the messiness of friendship and adolescence. As the first protagonist introduces the series, seventh grade is where hormones hit you and you end up crying on the bathroom floor over nothing. Something Zoe Grandon thought she’d never do. But then again, she never thought she’d get a…

• Ranking Wondergirls

  No, no, not the Kpop group from the 2000s Wonder Girls. I’m talking about the early 2000s book series from Scholastic by Jillian Brooks. It’s generic as it’s all about four girls and their ups and downs in the ever complicated girl world of friendship but it’s a solid series I believe like a disney…

• Supermartian in Torch-Songs

  Alright so maybe this is just relevant to the YJ fandom and those who have knowledge of events occurring in season 2 of the show, but it’s a comic book so I’m putting it in my book blog. Aka the importance of reading tie in comics.
