• Crossed Review

  The second book in Condie’s Matched trilogy picks up quickly with Ky burying a body as part of his work as a decoy in the Outer Provinces. Technically, burying the bodies of his fellow decoys are not part of the job description, Officials couldn’t care less about the bodies as long as their jackets and…

• Ranking Girl Meets Duke

  However, with all the deals, games and wagers, it might be better called Casino Ducal. Alas, there’s no casinos so the title would not be accurate. What the series includes is plenty of surprising first impressions, steamy liasons and will-they-won’t-they between a quartet of misfit girls and the mad, bad, dangerous to know dukes who…

• Ranking xoxo, Betty and Veronica

  Since reading it last month, I must say this brief trilogy still holds up. It has all the fun of the Archie comic without the 20 page limit (that’s usually how long it is for an extra special story compared to the usual 5 pages), including friendship moments, cameos of other Riverdale teens and just…

• Women’s History Month P9

  Icons: 50 Heroines Who Shaped Contemporary Culture by Monica Ahanonu This nonfiction book with vivid, distinct illustration by Micaela Heekin features a lot of the usual faces like Serena Williams, Malala Yousafzai, Hillary Clinton etc. The only new faces for me out of the fifty were filmmaker Agnes Varda, performance artist Grace Jones and designer…

• Betty and Veronica: Rock and Roll Reviews

  This rocking new issue introduces a new band, Rock Candi and new drummer to Riverdale, Jola Kitt. It’s a simple plot as one can imagine for a 5-page story where Betty and Veronica quit The Archies due to Reggie’s sexist comments dismissing Betty’s songwriting efforts and Archie not standing up for them. So they form…

• Matched Review

  Does anyone remember the Matched trilogy? Cuz I remember the big debut of this book way back in third grade, and it was everywhere but it didn’t quite reach the same level of memorability as other dystopians like The Hunger Games or Divergent. Anyway, since I’m on a YA binge, I decided to read this…

• Beautiful Redemption Review

  Since the stunning conclusion of the last book where the One who is Two aka Ethan Wate decided to jump off Gatlin’s water tower to save the world, Ethan and his friends are grappling with the consequences. Oh yeah, Ethan is not dead. I mean technically his body is. But his soul is in the…
