• Book Highlight: Once Series

  I read this, what I had thought was a trilogy, over break and while it may be for kids I suggest having an adult nearby so kids can ask questions. I’m not sure if there are answers to “Why are people so heinous?” But they’re going to be asking that after these books. This is…

• Cinder & Glass Review

  This might be the last of my fairytale binge for some time, but what a way to end it. De La Cruz’s retelling of Cinderella is a historical. So no fairy godmother or dress-making mice here, but magic is still present in the air as Cinderellion enters the world of Versailles with its dazzling Hall…

• The Queen’s Council: Rebel Rose Review

  What happens after happily ever after? That’s what this new series focuses on because while the Disney Princesses line are famous for the latter part, being a Princess, but that’s just a stepping stone. After all, most princesses are expected to promoted to queen by marriage or by their own rule. This series delves into…

• Ranking The Union of the Rakes

  This regency romance has a special 80s twist as each novel takes homage from big screen classics like Flashdance, The Breakfast Club, and so on. I’ll confess I did not realize this until I read the Acknowledgement pages, and since the only 80s movies I’ve seen were Flashdance, and The Breakfast Club, I cannot tell…

• A Secret Princess Review

  Margaret Stohl and Melissa de La Cruz team up once again for a reimagining of beloved literary characters from Frances Hodgson Burnett’s canon. The choice of pairing Mary Lennox and Sara Crewe is perfect as they are just those two literary characters that you just picture like when one thinks of Wendy Darling, one also…

• 10 Things I Hate about Pinky Review

  Some might describe Pinky Kaur as “a temptuous bitch.” No, no one has. But she can be bull-headed, impulsive, and a provoker, always on a short fuse ready to fight for a worthy cause. And much like everyone’s favorite heroine, Kat from the movie 10 Things I Hate about You this has the case of…

• 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…
