  • The final book in the gut-punching trilogy asks us readers to choose which cute boy is cuter and. . . okay I’m joking. While I can see parts where Collins pushed back against the urges behind the scenes for more love triangle, Katniss and is undoubtedly the star of this book as she tackles the…

  • I’m back and so is Katniss, though she’s a lot worse off than I. Even though it’s been a few months since she ha sleft the Arena no one will let her forget the trauma she’s experienced. Starting with the Victory Tour which President Snow makes a surprise appearance to blackmail Katniss into submission. Her…

  • Just as Dear America and American Girl exposed me to US history, Dear Canada gave me an entryway to

  • Originally I was going to do a full ranking but then there’s 35 books and I don’t hate myself. Also the last time I read all 35 was in 2020 where I read the 35 books in 17 days (I was under self-pressure okay. It was a stupid idea) and got eye strain for a…

It’s almost quaint to read how Allie’s biggest problems are eating foods she doesn’t like and the worst insult is “crybaby.” Simpler times. Especially as she and her…

  • Queenie by Candice Carty-Williams Someone said that this was like a modern Bridget Jones Diary but I’d say this was a bit deeper than that. Yes, the titular Queenie does have a bonkers love life and sometimes she doesn’t know how to put the oven on and her personal and business life cna get messy…

  • 1. Best Friends and Drama Queens: This was really enjoyable as it was relatable. the new girl, Cheyenne seems super cool and everyone wants to befriend her including Allie and her group. Her stories about Canada (ah the days when you were young and Canada seemed as far away as Europe) and latest fashion make…
