Mother Knows Best by Serena Valentino {Stephanie’s Review}
[book-info] I’m in a cross stitch Facebook group and Mother Knows Best by Serena Valentino was the group read for August. I’ve also read The Beast Within and thought it was an interesting perspective. I honestly didn’t love the plot of Mother Knows Best. I’ve never seen the movie Tangled so I didn’t really know…

September 2020 Nostalgia Reviews {Stephanie’s Review}
[book-info] Oof. This one hits a lot differently in 2020. I very much doubt it would be published the same way today. Stacey has a big crush on her college aged math teacher. Reading this book was a lot of second hand embarrassment. Eventually Stacey figured it out. This review is purposely short because….YIKES. [book-info…

February 2019 Nostalgia Reads Round Up
[book-info] Mary Anne’s Bad Luck Mystery by Ann M. Martin didn’t do a lot for me and I have to remind myself that I am a 34 year old woman reading books for tweens. The girls acted like such pre-teens and for some reason that got to me this time. I think it’s because it…

January 2019 Nostalgia Reads Round Up
[book-info] Oh my goodness! I loved this book so much!! It was SO innocent and reminiscent of my childhood and you could totally tell it was pre-9/11. Some of the things they talk about on the flight definitely do not happen now. It also REALLY reminded me of all the teenage thoughts and feelings about…

A “Round Two” review is a review of a book that I have already read and reviewed. It is a re-read. [book-info] I re-read the The False Prince by Jennifer A. Nielsen because I really want to start wrapping up some of my series. I read this awhile ago and I wanted to refresh before…
