We went from one harrowing event to another, my heart in my throat as I read page after page following these daring and tragic girls.

Why is it ok for some to decide that they can have an organization to go out and enact their own sense of what is right or wrong for their decided group of choice and no one else can? And how do they get to determine what is right or what is wrong and then how to hold them accountable for it?

I actually think that my favorite part of this book -aside from how perfectly Anderson set up the spooky-yet-fun atmosphere- was the girls themselves.

As a South Asian-American and first generation immigrant growing up in a country where social circles were determined by one’s ability to conform and family demanded unwavering obedience, I treasured those moments I spent wrapped in universes where characters faced, I believed, vastly more interesting problems than mine.

Amrita (Hosted by Charlotte & Anna)

I have to admit that I’ve been a little nervous about this adaptation ever since it was revealed that they would be combining Shadow and Bone and Six of Crows.

My ultimate dream is to one day publish my own book of horror. I want to terrify and delight.

Amanda

While rereading Order of the Phoenix for research, I came across a scene I had forgotten. After seeing Snape’s memories from his 5th Year, and witnessing James Potter belittle another student without hesitation, Harry is appalled. He is truly disgusted by his father’s actions.

For a while now, I’ve noticed this glaring hypocrisy when it comes to teenagers in young adult fiction, where it seems like they can never satisfy adult readers. They act one way and get criticized, and then they act the opposite way and get criticized as well, all under the excuse of not being “realistic” teenagers.

 I almost decided to do couples instead of villains because I know way more love songs, but villains were just speaking to me today so maybe next time.
