Book Review: The Disreputable History of Frankie Landau-Banks (2009) by E. Lockhart

This was a first for me – a book cover that informs you of the main elements of the plot (see picture above). Pranks? Infiltration? Secret society? Boys? How thrilling! On top of this premise, I had heard good things about this author’s other book, We Were Liars, so I was very excited to start reading this novel. In some respects The Disreputable History of Frankie Landau-Banks was better than I had expected it to be; Lockhart manages to tackle issues of gender and power in a thoughtful yet accessible way. How many young adult books introduce their readers to Jeremy Bentham’s Panopticon? I know sixteen-year-old me would have been hooked (and would have worked the Panopticon into every single school essay and presentation for the rest of the year).

Review: We Were Liars by E, Lockhart @elockhart

We Were Liars by E, Lockhart
Published: January 1st 2014
ISBN147140398X
Goodreads

We are the Liars.

We are beautiful, privileged and live a life of carefree luxury.

We are cracked and broken.

A story of love and romance.

A tale of tragedy.

Which are lies?

Which is truth?

I know. I’m late to the We Were Liars ‘OHMYGODWHATISTHIS’ party. I had heard so much about this book but ironically, not enough…

Good morning and a happy Tuesday (through Monday!) to you all! Today there are a ton of really awesome books on sale today, a lot of which are 2021 releases, which is actually pretty cool! As far as I can tell, these deals last until 11/29, so feel free to take your time if you need to decide and/or peruse. How are you all doing?? How are things going? Can you believe we’re in the second half of November already? It’s been a rough year and month and just, everything, but I’m glad we’ve been able to get through it all together so far. 

Today’s a tough day for me for personal reasons, so I’m trying to keep myself busy and book deals helps with that a lot, so here we are! :) The Shadow of What Was Lost is an amazing fantasy (and the entire trilogy is out, so no waiting!), Ariadne is a beautiful retelling, there’s even some Silvia Moreno-Garcia on sale! :O Honestly, there’s just a huge variety so if you needing to stock up on some reading material, I recommend you have a look through because hopefully there’s a little something for everyone.

Anyway, I hope you all have a truly wonderful day and week, and happy reading to all! :)
