Retro Friday Reviews are hosted by Angieville. Basically you review an older or under the radar book on Fridays. Today’s review is Aya by Marguerite Abouet. Graphic novels are the best late night readathon material EVER. My memory on Aya by Marguerite Abouet is a little fuzz, but rest assured, I am trying to clean out the need […]
The Time-Traveling Fashionista by Bianca Turetsky Book Review
December 1, 2011
I wish I could go back in time to my middle school days so I could take lessons from Louise Lambert, the vintage wearing protagonist of The Time Traveling Fashionista by Bianca Turetsky. Seriously, Louise is all that even if she doesn’t realize it herself.
