Welcome to Litsy!

I'm posting the #BookScavengerHunt prompts in order & today is 'Horns'.

I really enjoyed the film - Angelina Jolie was fantastic in the role This book is the written novelisation.

Before I declare this year‘s #AllHallowsReadSwap a success, I need to know who, if anyone 🤞, has still not received their package.

I truly hope I don‘t have to curse anyone.

Get ready my dark angels in case we need some replacement 📦.

As a kid my favorite dragon was when Maleficent turned into a dragon to fight the prince.

I‘d also say that the movie Maleficent has a great dragon in it.

Sleeping Beauty ahh a classic tale. But this ain‘t no retelling. No, it‘s what REALLY happened. Sure there was a ‘evil faerie‘, a dragon and a curse but, not how you remembered it. I thought this book and the movie were beautiful. If you‘re a Disney fan then you should definitely read it.

My Secret Santa at work just gets me.
There may have been a little bit of squealing coming from my office this morning.

Saw this with my hubby and daughter Sat. night. It was very good! I also liked a couple of the surprises I had no idea of 😊

I don‘t keep my books very long after I read them. So I don‘t have copies of old favorites to show that I haven‘t shown 1000x before. So instead I will show you my #oldfavorite dragon that I have had for over 20 years that watches over all my books. Someplace Wicket (who is at least 30) is also standing guard.

The two books on the left are what Maya took with her to camp. The pile on the right are all the books & comics she was sent by her grandparents and us.

Only one other kid in her cabin had a book, for a TWO week sleepaway camp! 😮 Whereas my kid read all of these multiple times! And thankfully, despite lots of rain at pick up today, only Maleficent seems to have succumbed to severe water damage. 🎉

LOL. I can get behind this. I picked the faerie realm, who else is joining me there?

I was feeling a little villainous yesterday so I decided show off some of my favorite villain merch! The amazing bookmark and villains pin came in last month's #enchantedfandombox and I'm kind of in love! ***Are more #teamvillains or #teamheroes ??? ** #qotd

Sooooo good ! Movie was awesome too!!!!

#favoritevillian

So, not thriller or crime related, but I could think of no other villain but Maleficent. She‘s my favorite Disney villain. #likablevillain #MarchMadness

Pretty good rendering. I read it to our youngest daughter.

Oops! I sent this out earlier this week and forgot to post. I hope my match has their box by now. Enjoy! #allhallowsreadbookexchange

Again, this very often read more as a middle-grade (or even younger, if not for the fact that it could sometimes be frightening for small children) novelization than YA, but overall, it's still a pick, because Rudnick's gift for description is considerable, and the reimagining of Maleficent is brilliant. Time for a movie night. #maleficent #disney #elizabethrudnick

I'm not sure that this should have been classified and shelved as YA at the library; it reads more at a middle-grade level, but I'm enjoying it nonetheless. (I also still need to watch the film, honestly. I'm a slacker.) #maleficent #elizabethrudnick #disney

Sometimes, you just need to pick up something that'll only take about twenty minutes* to read. Especially when it's a Disney villainess origins story.

*dramatic exaggeration because it's not even 7:00am yet.

It's good to have like minded friends. (And to have IT on your computer So you can play in #litsy)

Can you guess who might be one of my #favoritevillains ? #riotgrams

#herebedragons Sleeping Beauty has always been one of my favorite Disney movies and I absolutely loved Maleficent. And I loved that she could become a dragon! Picked this plush dragon up at Disneyland last December during their 60th anniversary celebration. #sheismydarkside #disneydragons

I'm no book worm. Call me Maleficent, The Book Dragon. #maleficent #bookdragon

I am so damned ashamed of myself for not initially thinking of Maleficent as one of my favorite villains. She was so mad at being pushed to the side and discarded that she cursed a baby. I liked this book but I would love to see another, darker retelling of her history. Maleficent whose name even means causing or capable of causing harm or mischief. Yep. Definitely one of my #favoritevillains #septemberphotochallenge #madatmyself

Thank you Litsy for letting me know about magnetic bookmarks! Couldn't resist this little cutie from Nerdy Girl Designs on Etsy.

Bf: You already bought a book this week so you don't need to go to Chapters, right?
Me: Right, we can just run our errands at Costco.

Spoiler Alert: Maleficent is one of my favorite all time villains! So I loved this. It gave her a life. It wasn't perfect. I would have loved it to be darker but it's Disney so... Regardless the book itself is gorgeous and I read this is in no time.
