• 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 Dork Diaries

  1. Tales from a Not-So-Popular Party Girl This was the first book I read from the series even though it’s the second. My mom got it from some used books bin so yeah. Anyway the hilarious running around Nikki went through trying to juggle the three different parties literally made me breathless from laughter. That…

• Kiki’s Delivery Service Review

  When I saw this classic by Eiko Kadono in the library, I just had to read it and see how it compared to the movie. My conclusion is that it’s delightful in its own way. Inspired by a drawing by her 12 year old daughter, this is the book that inspired Kadono to make writing…

• Summer Nonfiction

  Popular by Maya Van Wagenen I read this memoir a long time ago for a project in middle school so it was nice to revisit it again. This memoir details Maya’s journey to finding popularity by utilizing a How to be Popular Guide from the 50s by then teen model Betty Cornell (who writes the…

• The Dark Artifices Lookback

  Ah yes, Clare’s biggest trilogy to date and admittedly my least favorite. Maybe I’m just getting burnt out, or maybe I’m just not connecting to the characters but I won’t be revisiting this series as much as the other two.

• Book Highlight: Song of the Lioness

  Ah, The Song of the Lionness. The quartet that helped put Tamora Pierce on the map as premiere fantasy novelist with a feminist hero for the ages. It also founded the expansive Tortall universe. Since the books have been around since the 80s I’m not going to repeat what happens in them. Everyone has probably…

• The Dirty Book Club Review

  This book sucks you in right from the beginning though there is not much sucking involved to be honest. But that’s okay because the book club is lot less about sex but the friendship bonds that form around it. It’s like the next generation of the Sisterhood of Traveling Pants!

• Stephanie Plum #28-29

  Technically not a reread as this is the first time I’ve read these Plum books, but also not a review since I was reading for entertainment, not to look for things that are good or bad. So these are just my thoughts on the latest Plum offerings. As one can see by the titles alone…

• Infernal Devices Trilogy Lookback

  Alright, second trilogy of Cassandra Clare’s Shadowhunter Chronicles. This took place between the third Mortal Instruments book and the fourth as I said in the previous post that The Mortal Instruments trilogy was supposed to only be 3 books instead of 6 books. So this took place between.

• Stephanie Plum #21-26 ReRead

  What was I saying about Stephanie Plum reaching a formulaic status quo? well buckle up because Evanovich plunges everyone’s favorite bounty hunter into a brand new story arc. But that’s getting ahead of things. The first four books are pretty standard Plum hijinks though I found these to have plenty of laughs to compensate for…
