DNF- Curses

I DNF at page 50 and I’m super sad about it but I have 8 other beauty and the beast retellings lined up for inspiration so hopefully one of those works better for me. Here’s the blurb: Merit Cravan refused to fulfill her obligation to marry a prince, leading to a fairy godling’s curse. SheContinue reading “DNF- Curses”

Review #342

I loved this sequel and gave it a 4.4/5 stars. When it comes to characters, unique magic, world building, and relationships it was perfect. I scraped a few points off the total score because of its length, slow pace in middle and 5 POV head hopped within chapters. Overall, I absolutely love this group ofContinue reading “Review #342”

DNF- The Invisible Library

Here’s the blurb in case you’re interested:  One thing any Librarian will tell you: the truth is much stranger than fiction… Irene is a professional spy for the mysterious Library, a shadowy organization that collects important works of fiction from all of the different realities.

Review #340

My first February book complete! I loved loved this book. 4.9/5 stars. The author was so clever with how she included the elements of Snow White’s love for animals and the mirror theme. I wish I had thought of it first. I cant wait for “A Dream So Wicked” for the Sleeping Beauty story. Here’sContinue reading “Review #340”

Review #339

‘Heart of the Raven Prince’ by Tessonja Odette is the third book I’ve read in a row in the Entangled series. This one is a 4.6/5 stars. It’s a Cinderella retelling and so far it’s the only one that has had two points of view, Ember AND Franco. (Unless I’m remembering completely inaccurately.) Music isContinue reading “Review #339”

DNF Mermaid Moon

I haven’t seen blue edged pages in a very long time. It fits well with the ocean theme. The cover image feels a bit older fashioned but when I looked, the copyright is 2020. The prologue is headed with a quote: “The moon lowers herself to draw the tide.” And then the short chapters skipContinue reading “DNF Mermaid Moon”

Review #338

This Beauty and the Beast retelling earned a 4.8/5 stars for me. It was written all in first person from Gemma’s point of view. I’m so excited to read at least two more books in this interconnected fairytale series. These are my thoughts (live) while reading: Gemma just recently moved to the winter court, seemsContinue reading “Review #338”
