Reading Log 2023
Last year, I read an amazing 500 books so this year it was only reasonable that I reach a little more and try to get to 600. I didn’t. I got to 700 books!! And yes, maybe it’s considered “cheating” if you count those graphic novels and lower grade books that are easy to read…

Ranking The Hero’s Guide trilogy
Everyone knows the story of Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, Rapunzel and Snow White, but the truth is the bards got a lot wrong. For instance, all those Princes Charmings have a name, and their stories have cast them aside in various embarassing ways. But it’s not the annoying songs that bring the princes together. That all…

Ranking Grimmtastic Girls
So I’m the third series before I finish my fractured fairytale TBR pile. I was a big fan of Holub and Williams’ Goddess Girls series so they take the school AU to the fairytale universe. That trope is very popular, so let’s see how they rank up.

Ranking Once Upon Another Time
Riley returns to the series that started his career. Though the dimension has no name, the fairytale characters are larger than ever. Except Lena. She’s a giant, only she’s 12 feet tall. She’s more like a taller than average human and a doll to the giants. She’s been hidden from her people most of her…

Ranking Royal Academy Rebels
Calonita’s spin off/concurrent trilogy, Royal Academy Rebels brings readers back to the kingdom of Enchantsia. Only, it’s not the reformed villains who are in trouble. It’s the royals with their tiaras and ballgowns that bring the revolution. Actually, it’s one specific royal who doesn’t quite fit the box. Devin of the Nile couldn’t care less…

Ranking Half Upon a Time
As the son of the criminal giant killer and thief, Jack isn’t expected to do anything heroic. Since he’s constantly messing up princess rescue class, he knows he won’t be able to do anything heroic in his life. He’s not bred for adventure no matter what his grandfather says. But then a princess falls out…

Ranking suppl. Land of Stories
I’m calling these supplemental books because they are fun extras that expand the world, but you don’t necessarily need to read them. They’re just fun, I mean you can’t tell a writer enjoys their world when they keep adding stuff to it. I get it.

Ranking The Chronicles of Never After
De La Cruz puts her own spin on the fractured fairytale genre with the Never After series where a youn fangirl gets a dream (or nightmare come true). Her beloved book series is releasing it’s epic finale, only to find out that the 13th book is never ever coming out. Because it hasn’t been written…

Ranking The Sisters Grimm
I think most people know this series as it’s one of the more popular fractured fairytale series, and deservedly so, with Buckley’s sincere pathos, humor and adventurous escapades. But for those not in the know. Sabrina, and Daphne’s lives have turned for the worst in the past year, bouncing from awful foster situation to Dickinsinian…
