• Book Highlight: The Tale of Despereaux

  I finally read this Kate DiCamillo classic. I admit I vaguely knew the story since I had the graphic novel adaptation of the movie but we all know movie’s take artistic liberties so I was interested to see what changed and what stayed the same. While I found the narrator addressing the readers a bit…

• Golden Age Biographies

  So I already wrote a post about how I enjoy TCM books (and the channel in general) so of course, it inspired me to read biographies of some of Hollywood’s brightest stars. No reviews here since it’s been a while since I read them but here are some good biographies to begin with that give…

• Thoughts on new American Girl cover

  So American Girl is releasing a new historical girl from the 1920s! Woo, I love that mainly because I love the 20s so it’ll be good for kids to have a new, admittedly more entertaining way to learn about the Harlem Renissance rather than just school books and lectures. However, I do have one cavet…

• What’s this book?: Update

  I posted a few months ago about a book series that I simply could not get remember the name of and was driving me crazy. No one from the internet void answered but my local library helped. That lower school edutainment series was America’s National Mysteries Series by Carole Marsh. Boasting Real Kids, Real Places,…

• Summer YA

  Debating Darcy by Sayantani DasGupta While I’m usually iffy with Pride and Prejudice adaptations since they’re everywhere, there’s always one that manages a new spin to it that makes me enjoy the story all over again. It helps that the protagonist, Elizabeth is a musical nerd so I immediately connect with her as she sings…

• Top 5 Archie issues

  Archie #600 Archie marries Veronica! Obviously this is number one for being such a historic making issue, launching the two timelines of the marriages everyone has been waiting for. Can’t get much better than that. Betty and Veronica #271 This is such a fun Riverdale lady reunion. I mean literally all the girls have some…

• Matilda Review

  Apparently I missed the book lovers memo about reading Matilda. People were always shocked that someone who likes books as much as I do had never read Matilda. So I have finally rectified that. Actually it’s the first Dahl book I have read which is another blasphemy but I already saw the movie versions of…

• Pretty Little Liars: Vicious Review

  Ah it’s the end and it is a doozy! The Liars are at the end of the line since being accused of Ali’s murder and their prospects are grim. The world has turned on them and counter evidence to their innocence is sparse. They try to put up a brave front but it’s hard considering…

• Bravely Review

  Here’s another one for International Princess Week and I think the princess in the spotlight today should be obvious. Especially since it’s titled Bravely. I’ll admit I came into this with low expectations as I was not much of a fan of the movie but it absolutely blew me out of the water. Split into…
