• Magic Tree House

  Sp as this year’s theme is childhood nostalgia I decided to read the Magic Tree House series for the first time in. . . two decades maybe? And since I had stopped reading them, Osborne had returned to her breakout series with all new stories but I’ll get to that in a bit.

• Ranking Hotel for Dogs trilogy

  Lois Duncan is best known for her horror and supernatural mystery work that has spawned countless movie adaptations like I Know What You Did Last Summer but after the tragic unsolved murder of her daughter, she pivoted to lighter fare in children’s literature. Most notably, the Hotel for Dogs trilogy, so let’s get ranking.

• Ranking Grimmtastic Girls

  So I’m the third series before I finish my fractured fairytale TBR pile. I was a big fan of Holub and Williams’ Goddess Girls series so they take the school AU to the fairytale universe. That trope is very popular, so let’s see how they rank up.

  Huck: The Remarkable True Story of How One Lost Puppy Traught a Family-and a Whole Town-About Hope and Happy Endings by Janet Elder As I’ve said multiple times. I’m a sucker for dog memoirs even if they’re a bit sad because, with all the variations, it harbors the same theme. Dogs teach us more about…

• 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…

• 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.
