4 stars This book contains all of the prequels for the Ever After High series, plus The Tale of the Two Sisters (which comes up later in the series). Each prequel sets up the character’s conflict before their Legacy Year. The characters included are Briar, Apple, Hunter, Ashlynn, and Raven, whose stories are included in…

2 stars So I went into this book without realizing that it started out as a blog. But after figuring that out, I still don’t really understand the point of making a book out of it. The format itself was a bit annoying, because you flip back and forth from the picture/quote page to the…

2 stars I received The Forgotten Girls, the seventh book in the Louise Rick series, from Goodreads and I absolutely loved it, so I decided to go back and read some of the earlier books. I have to say, compared to the seventh book, this one was kind of a let down. The story is…

2 stars This was my least favorite in the series so far. The plot was pretty shallow and not very well developed. The book just seemed like an excuse to write romantic scenes between Jasper and Cat, which were kind of cheesy and awkward. This one was okay, but as good as previous books and…

5 stars This is a hilarious little book of poetry. A great book for cat lovers or just those of us who have to put up with living with a cat. This book gives cat’s inner thoughts, whether it’s the joys of catnip or the annoyance of hairball and dealing with other pets. A quick…

5 stars This is a fascinating story! I loved it! I took a six hour road trip (then six hours home) and this was the perfect book to be stuck in a car with. The writing was fantastic. I was very surprised to learn that this is Riggs first novel. He writes with a clarity…

5 stars I absolutely loved this book. Part memoir, part literary analysis. Part self-help book, part writing guide. This book has a little bit of everything. Ellis journeys back in time and rereads some of her favorite heroines as an adult and analyses them in a feminist light. Connecting these to her own life events…

3 stars Reading this book for the first time as an adult was a little difficult, because it was kind of boring and Margaret’s character was so naive and annoying. But I see its value for young readers. Margaret is relatable for the most part (except her excitement about getting her period. “I can’t wait…

3 stars I received a copy of this book through Goodreads in exchange for an honest review. To be honest, this was kind of a difficult book to read because of the subject matter as well as the overall flow of the book. The main components of the book are an autobiography, poetry, and photography….

4 stars Awesome book! Beautiful and inspirational! I really enjoyed this book. The artwork was phenomenal and is a great place to start to get young readers interesting in empowering woman. I liked that Chin-Lee used the women’s first names/given names rather than their family names for each letter. This helped put the focus on…
