Beauty and the Beast is one of my favorite Disney movies (other than The Lion King, of course), so naturally I enjoyed this book and I recommend it to any other fans of the Disney movie. It doesn’t quite live up to the original, but it was a cute and quick read! The way Kyle acted in the beginning made me sick. He is under the impression that ‘ugly’ people are worthless and that the so-called beautiful people are the […]
Or maybe not so speechless. Because I just can’t keep my mouth shut about my opinions…. I have spent the last hour and a half looking over tons of posts about the recent shame committed by Kristi @ The Story Siren, and I am simply taken aback. I could hardly believe it when I saw the news and as I’ve been reading, it’s become more and more obvious that it was not a simple mistake made out of ignorance. I am […]
I was not a wolf, but I wasn’t Sam yet, either. I was a leaking womb bulging with the promise of conscious thoughts: the frozen woods far behind me, the girl on the tire swing, the sound of fingers on metal strings. The future and the past, both the same, snow and then summer and then snow again. A shattered spider’s web of many colors, cracked in ice, immeasurably sad. “Sam,” the girl said, “Sam.” She was past present future. […]
In My Mailbox is hosted by The Story Siren Bought this week: Okay, so this weekend was the much anticipated Dayton Metro Library booksale at Hara Arena!! YAY!! They hold it twice a year and you can get used library books for dirt cheap. Sometimes the paperbacks are pretty beat up (you can see on a few of them where I had to rip off the library stickers), but the hardbacks are usually in amazing condition due to the […]
Let me just say right now that I didn’t read the whole thing (made it to page 169, little more than halfway), but this still isn’t totally a DNF for me because I skimmed the last half and read the ending. So I can, in all fairness, give it a one starfish rating. I do not want to hear even ONE more person compare this book to The Little Mermaid. The only thing remotely similar was that the mermaid (in […]
WOWZA. What a stunning, glorious, heart-breaking end to a fantabulous series! Rachel Hawkins really knows how to bring it! From the first page to the very last, I loved every minute and didn’t want to put it down. I do believe Sophie is one of my favorite female leads. I LOVE THIS GIRL. She’s strong and witty and she jokes at the worst moments possible to cover up any weaknesses she feels. If she were a real person, we’d be biffles! […]
