Diana, Princess of Wales, has been the subject of many books, both in life and in death—so much so that we will dedicate a whole list to the topic. We’ve made a list of books on her sons, William and Harry, ex-husband, King Charles III, late ex-mother-in-law, Queen Elizabeth II and a whole list of …
There are so many books about the British Royal Family. Over the last week or so, we’ve covered many royal books on Project Fangirl, including Meghan Markle, King Charles III, Queen Elizabeth II, and King Edward VIII. We also did one on books written by members of the family. In this post, we’ll examine royal …
King Edward VIII is seen as a traitor to his own family, and it has been written about in several books. He is known by some as The Traitor King because he chose to marry a woman who was twice divorced, American and hungry for money. The story of Edward and Wallis is currently playing …
The Hogwarts Library is a series of three “Hogwarts textbooks,” including Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them, Quidditch Through The Ages and The Tales Of Beedle The Bard. One of these books contains “handwritten notes” from Harry Potter, Hermione Granger and Ron Weasley. This review will cover all three books as they are part …
Books clubs wouldn’t be complete without famous people. We’ve found a ton of celebrities who have their own book clubs. Some have been around for years, while others have only recently launched. Now, some of the ones we’ve found are probably doing it for attention and don’t have any association with reading whereas others do. …
When you’re King Charles III, you tend to have many books written. Given that we write about books regularly, we’re going to list many books written about the current monarch of the United Kingdom.

March 2024 was a real month for books as we jumped back into action to stabilise (without much success) our ever-growing To Be Read (TBR) list. Currently, we’ve capped it at 14k books. Yeah, that’s large. We’ve had to do a massive catch-up as we read no books in January and one in February to …
Despite the pomp and circumstance, royals have published books of their own over the years. This is not a new concept and has been around for decades. We all know, of course, that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have both released books under their own names. For this list, we will NOT include books with …
When you’re a royal or a public figure, you have to expect people to write about you in books, and Meghan Markle is no exception. If she were not married to King Charles III’s second son, she would be just another fling and a failed actress who could not get another gig after Suits. In …
With Asajj Ventress about to pop up in The Bad Batch, let’s explore the last time she appeared in the Star Wars timeline: the book Dark Disciple.

If there is one thing that the pandemic gave a massive boost to, it is online book clubs. It gave people a sense of belonging while we were all locked in our homes. According to the World Economic Forum, book sales were up during 2021, which was as the pandemic was starting to slow. Over …
Wicked is one of the biggest musicals of all time. Based on the novel Wicked: The Life And Times of The Wicked Witch Of The West by Gregory Maguire, the musical showcases how the Wicked Witch of the West became the being we know her to be. However, much of the Wicked book was omitted …
Nothing says a good book quite like reading apps. There are so many different applications nowadays that it is hard to know what works and what doesn’t. Initially, we were only going to make a list of the more better-known book apps, but given how many there are, we thought it would be best do …
The third screenplay in the Fantastic Beasts franchise, Secrets of Dumbledore, delves into details about the past of the beloved character Albus Dumbledore, exposing him in a light we’ve never seen before. We also continue with Newt Scamander, the legendary author of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them as he rushes to aid Dumbledore …
Podcasts are a big part of Book Club culture nowadays. They help keep readers informed and connect them with other fans who love the same literature as they do. There are so many book podcasts out there now that narrowing down which ones to listen to is often difficult. Since this is the last part …
The Percy Jackson book series timeline is one of the neatest we’ve come across. Sure, there are some events that don’t seem to slot into certain places. But, hey! What book series has a coherent series of events? This post will explore the Percy Jackson timeline from the beginning, thanks to the Timeline page on …
We’ve been doing a Percy Jackson reread as of late, and we thought we’d briefly go over which books we’ve finished so far. We’ve completed The Lightning Thief and finished the three short crossover stories with the Kane Chronicles: The Son of Sobek, The Staff of Serapis and The Crown of Ptolemy. The Lightning Thief …
We love a bit of foreshadowing when it comes to books, so we thought, since we’ve completed our third reading of Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief we do just that. We only came up with this as we were going through the last couple of chapters. A few moments of foreshadowing in The Lightning …
According to our Google Search Console stats, one of the searches people have been looking at is whether Astrid Hofferson appears in the How to Train Your Dragon books. Well, that’s what we’ll be looking at in this Book Haven post. The reason we’re doing in Book Haven and not Animated Films and Television is …
Percy Jackson and the Olympians series is under 100 days away from debuting on Disney+, and to celebrate, we’re rereading The Lightning Thief, the book on which the show’s first season is based.

It’s book review time! In Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald, we get a look at the much deeper wizarding laws in the 1920s in America, France and Britain as Newt Scamander and his companions continue to fight against the dark wizard, Gellert Grindelwald. It also introduces the audience to a middle-aged (hot!) Albus Dumbledore …
July was an odd month as we were still soldiering through Fire and Blood. We had to add something to our reads of 2023, so we read the Harry Potter prequel story on Muggle Net. Going into August, we started getting behind on Goodreads, so we read the first screenplay for the Fantastic Beasts films. …
We’ve finally finished reading Fire and Blood, the unreliable textbook about the Targaryen dynasty from Aegon the Conqueror to Aegon III. However, the book also explores themes that even its sequels in the Game of Thrones series of books and the television series covers. In this post, we’re going to explain what these themes are. …
Star Wars books have come out left, right and centre for over forty years. Since the dumping of Star Wars legends, new books have tied up with the television shows by expanding further on existing characters.
