The Evil Queen | 
panThis pains me as I love this authors writing. I love retelling‘s and I love a good romance. However…this was so inconsistent almost like two different voices wrote this. This just fell flat. All the way around actually. Not a fan. #100readschallenge #readingchallenge2022
panI wanted to like this way more than I actually did, because I love fairy tale retelling. It has its good moments but the characters are basically unlikeable with no character development, and the writing is hasty in parts.
pickI love #retellings of the #fairytale stories I grew up. This book like #onceuponatime (tv series) made my whole view of The Evil Queen change. You get an entire new perspective. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. #LitsyLove

I loved, loved, LOVED this book.
It sucked me in right from the start, as is usual with Gena's books.
I am amazed at how much I fell for the characters.
This unique take on Snow White blew my mind and I cannot wait for new books from this series to come out.
panThis was bad. Like next level bad. I hear there‘s a second book which I‘m sure will be just as bad but I‘m gonna read it anyway. (I can‘t stand to not finish a story, I have to know what happens even if it sucks bad, like reaaaaaaaally bad)
Fairytale retellings are one of my favorite genres of books and I normally love them! However I‘m struggling SO HARD with this book. It seems so childish and has no good character or world building at all. I‘m trying so hard to finish it but I don‘t know if I can. 😭
This is the book that never ends
Yes it goes on and on my friends
I started reading it not knowing what it was
And I‘ll continue reading it forever just because
Seriously I knew this was 20+ hours going in but I was hoping it didn‘t feel like 20+ hours. I‘m feeling every minute.
Trying again on audiobook. I‘ve made it further than last time.
Morning walks with this girl help me start the day right for the #bookfitnesschallenge 😁🐕

Already a couple pages in and loving it so far. Snow White and the Seven Dwarves was always my favorite story and to see it in a different style is something I never thought I had to get my hands on. 😁
bailedGuys...I couldn‘t. This was just bad. The dialogue was awful, the characters were just annoying. It was like being around a bunch of high schoolers that have NOTHING interesting to say. Skip this. #struggle
I love Rocklove Jewelry and somehow these rings seem to go really well with this book!!
Not sure why I left the blockbuster to be the last of my #augustrso2019 #preview reads. Might it be that I am a little bit over retelling fairy tales to redeem the ‘baddies‘? Weeeeellll, possibly. (Read yes). #currentlyreading #retelling #ginashowalter #openmind #letsgetthisdone
My latest #tbrpile for #augustrso2019 some Oz 🇦🇺📚stuff there which makes me happy, but also a blockbuster too. A good mix of middle and older readers.
I think this is my favorite ARC from NetGalley so far! Not done yet, but I'm loving it!
I love Showalters adult books. I expect nothing less of her teen books. Also good for #Booked2019 #retelling.
