“Humanity is so weird. If we’re not laughing, we’re crying or running for our lives because monsters are trying to eat us. And they don’t even have to be real monsters.

Anyways, I’ll try my best to toe the line… Jess Flynn is your typical late-1990s high school girl. You know, the late 90s, Spice Girls and BSB, Titanic, TGIF, Doc Martens and babydoll dresses, Clueless, pagers, inflatable furniture and lava lamps…that […]

Afterwards, even though it was supposed to be […]

Bookish and the Beast by Ashley Poston

by 1 Comment

For my first review of 2021, I’m revisiting the world of Ashley Poston’s Once Upon a Con series. We started with Geekerella, the story of a fangirl who ends up getting a direct line to the star of the movie version of her favorite TV show…but she doesn’t know it’s him. Then we ventured to The Princess and the Fangirl, wherein a normal girl switches places with a famous actress to uncover a saboteur. Now, we visit a young lady who wins over a beastly […]
