It's almost spring. At least it warms up so much during the day. The rose in the garden likes it. 🌹🌹

so-soI thought this was a fun and unique spin on how the story of Sleeping Beauty came about. It did have a bit of a slow start but it definitely picked up. I would give it 3 stars.

pick4.5 ⭐ You know that feeling when you have waited too long to read a really good book. I‘m living that now. I‘ve had Thornhedge since it came out and I already know I love T. Kingfisher. But no, I waited on this. The story that this woman can put in 111 pages. It‘s sweet, it‘s uplifting, it‘s happy, it‘s fascinating. Let the adjectives continue. This is a sleeping beauty retelling that imagines a different villain and a different reason
Happy Gotcha Day to this beautiful girl! We adopted Boots January 31, 2011. She was a year and a half. Today she‘s 15. Hard to believe that much time has passed! She has chronic kidney disease now but is doing well overall. We love her so much ♥️ #CatsOfLitsy
pickI absolutely loved this! I‘m a complete sucker for a Beauty and The Beast retelling and this one even had some spice.
pickIt's T. Kingfisher. So it's good. It really is. I loved the characters, especially Hester and Penelope. And I loved the fact that the females make the stories, the males are barely there to be there and help out. Everything else is true Kingfisher. Magic, humor, fantasy. Can't get enough of her.
so-soA short novella. I liked the concept but I wish it would have been a full novel with more character development and world building. A little heavy with themes of sexual assault so be warned before you begin. I loved the feminist themes but it just didn‘t land for me as a great retelling of a Sleeping Beauty story.

I enjoyed the artwork in this version of the classic fairy tale. I went back & read the Grimm‘s version online to see the gentling down in the modern versions (like princes being banished rather than beheaded for not discovering the mystery). A quick & nostalgic read. 💛
