1. Beauty and the Beast. The tagged book was one of my favorite versions!
2. Toss up! Love Konsters Inc but I love the adult humor in Shrek. Also Shrek has the better soundtrack.
3. See @EclecticBookLover
4. MAYO!

Thank goodness for audio books or I wouldn't be this far. Spent the last 5 hours in the car driving back and forth to Mattoon so that I could install the kitchen cabinet doors. It's only a million degrees outside, so that was pleasant. #24in48.

LibrarianRyan I did finish listening to Beast right as I was pulling into town. I forgot how abruptly it ended. 7y

Switching over to an audiobook as I have to get a coat of varnish on these doors. #24in48

I read this book when it first came out. It is very good, and unique retelling of Beauty and the Beast. Since it was an Audiobooksync title this summer I am enjoying my free listen. However, no matter how many times I read or listen to the matting sequence, it just screams of beastiality. Everything thing is factual and the author did her research, and at this point the main character is a lion, it just always grates a little like sandpaper.

Smangela Yes! That's the one thing that just seemed too much for me with this one! 7y

LibrarianRyan @Smangela I thought it was bad reading it. It was worse hearing it. 7y

so-so

My first thought for #InLikeALionOutLikeALamb was Twilight. It was like a weird memory that popped out about Edward saying the lion fell in love with the lamb? Something like that. But then I realized lion and lamb could also be Beauty & The Beast! This retelling was strange... I can't really decide if I liked it or not to be honest. #MarchMadness

Smangela, Callemarie

LibrarianRyan I felt that same way. The beastieality scene was a little much for me in what was supposed to be a kids book. 8y

Captivatedbybooks There's beastieality in the book?! @LibrarianRyan (edited) 8y

Smangela @LibrarianRyan yes, it really through me off too - like did not expect that. And I felt like the first half of the book was completely different than the second? @Captivatedbybooks yea it was very very weird lol 8y

LibrarianRyan @Captivatedbybooks yes, not erotic, but it's hard to describe. I was reading it to vet it for a kids book club, got to that point and was like NOPE. The beast is a lion and is in his lion form. It was just odd. 8y

LibrarianRyan @Captivatedbybooks I read this book when it came out. It was so odd, 10+ years later I can still see the scene in my head. 8y

Captivatedbybooks @LibrarianRyan @Smangela even if it isnt erotic the sole insinuation is definitely not a kid book 8y
