• The Little Mermaid: Against the Tide Review

  I’m sure many are excited about the upcoming Little Mermaid remake. I’ll admit I’m not as the only interesting thing from the remakes are the new songs and I can find that on youtube. I was excited for this original tale by J. Elle and wow, did it deliver! Taking place a year before the…

  Rogue Untouched by Alisa Kwitney Since rewatching X-Men Evolution and Wovlerine and the X-Men for the first time in years, I find that it is better than I remembered and Rogue is the best. So of course, I had to read this novel from a new series showcasing origin stories and original adventures of Marvel…

• The Mirror: Shattered Midnight Review

  While the last book arguably had shades of Sleeping Beauty entwined in its tale of magic, friendship and broken promises, this is the Cinderella story of Zora Broussand who is thrust in the care of her aspiring-upper class family in New Orleans when all she wants to do is become a musician and singer of…

• New Moon Review

  This was a pleasant surprise for me. While Twilight was a bit of a slog to get through as I already knew the basics of the series and Meyer was utterly committed to showing the mundanities of Bella’s life, I managed to finish this book in one day even though it was double the length.…

• Princess Diaries #10-11 ReRead

  Can you believe it’s been 4 years since Mia found out she was a princess? I can’t, but it’s lovely to see how much Mia has grown by the time of Forever Princess. Probably with the help of a lot of therapy but she seems much more calm and in control of herself, knowing what…

• Allegiant Review

  As the series intones, one choice can change everything and six weeks after the reveal of the Edith Prior interview, it’s clear that the city will descend into war thanks to Evelyn’s shortsighted controlling tyranny. So Tris and her friends have to make a choice when they are recruited by the shadowy Allegient group that…
