  Goth Girl: Queen of the Universe by Lindsay S. Zrull is about Jess: a girl who's been in foster care since she was 7 years old. She finds comfort in all things goth: from Edgar Allen Poe to makeup. At her new school, Jess ends up befriending a guy named Oscar, who is a huge fan of a book series called Prince of Moons. He asks Jess to join his cosplay group so they can win of bunch of cosplay competitions and go to a huge competition at a huge convention in New York City later in the year. His goal is to make their names known so he can start his own cosplay business (he kind of already has one going on in his basement, but he wants to make it legit). Jess is relunctant about it at first, but she quickly finds that she loves sewing and making costumes and all things nerdy. She also befriends Oscar's other two other nerdy friends Emily and Gerrit.      Jess also runs an Instagram account where she posts all of her goth looks and has lots of followers, but one...

(Made in Canva by me. Pics were found on Google Images) T his is my first review for the 12 books 12 friends recommendations challenge . The Creepy Cat series by Cotton Valent was recommended by @rhymingvine over on Instagram.  Wanna know something weird about this series? I actually read the first volume back in 2023, I gave it 4 stars, and in that review I said I would read the rest of the books, but somehow I forgot about them until now. You can view that post here .  Well, I finally read all 4 books! What do I think about the series as a whole? The rest of the series is not what I expected!

In the next several books we get introduced to even more Creepy Cats (just with different colored fur and different names). We...

(Pic was found on Google Images) This was a graphic novel that I read back in middle school, but I couldn't remember a single thing that happened. Did I like it the second time around? Well... Courtney Crumrin and the Night Things by Ted Naifeh is about Courtney, a preteen girl who  with her snobby and clueless parents move in with her Great Uncle Aloysius, who lives in a mansion that looks haunted. The great uncle and his house seem to have mysteries of their own. Courtney dislikes her new school but is able to somewhat become friends with a guy nicknamed "Stain", who is an outcast like her. Stain gets picked on frequently by the popular rich kids at the school, who keep demanding money from him. Courtney gets lumped into the situation, but is able to save her new friend and defeat the bullies with some help with her new eerie creature friends at her great uncle's mansion, and with a bit of magic.  It's a very simple story, but it was very entertaining! I love t...
