I rarely #dnf but just this week I had two! Got to 100ish pages in each of these and didn‘t care enough to continue on, boring.

I listened to this on audio, and I'm so glad that I did! Much of the book is told in song and the audio version I listened to had a full cast of excellent singers.

I thought this was a really creative story. Definitely draws on Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs but only in a few elements. It‘s not just a retelling, it‘s an entirely different interpretation with similar ideas. I listened to the audiobook which had full-blown song performances...but I was not at all impressed with the song compositions and the singers were okay.

I mean, does it get any better than this?? Dogs, princess blankets, and fairy tales!!

I really enjoyed Ella Enchanted and I hope I will enjoy this one too.

This was frustratingly annoying. The plot barely made sense, the instalove was weird (did Aza only love Ijori because he was a Prince? Because he had the personality of a tree stump), and parts of it made no sense at all.

I was looking forward to her upcoming book, Ogre Enchanted, but I think I‘ll wait and read reviews first. #MountTBR

This book is really annoying...but I keep reading! I can‘t believe this is written by the same author as Ella Enchanted. And why do ALL of the character‘s seem so clueless!

Thought I‘d share some fairytale retellings. #fairytales #yabooks

Fairest was part of my book haul last week.

A cute little departure from heavier reads.

When you think of me
remember how I yearn
remember how I ache
know how I long to be
a bright blue sky.

Can a dragon judge ostumo?

Who judges the judge who judges wrong?
The sentence too weak,
The sentence too strong.
The penance too quick,
The penance too long.
Who judges the judge who judges wrong?

Climb the day, Drop your dreams, Possess the day.

As a huge fan of Ella Enchanted I have to say, this book was ok. I honestly think I would have liked it more if I had read it when I was younger (as I did with Ella Enchanted)... It was interesting and a different take on Snow White... It's easy to read, different and I always appreciate the light romance. Very sweet & innocent .

Loved Ella Enchanted, loved this book. A retelling of Snow White as you can probably tell from the apple. #readandeat #somethingforsept

My eldest daughter's second favorite book, so I gave it a read. It was a bit cumbersome. Lots of singing. And a bit too much negative talk throughout the book even though it is redeemed in the end encouraging self-acceptance.
