While I loved The Seven Year Slip, this one did not make the cut for me. Off my shelf and onto my PangoBooks shelf!

The story definitely has a Disney-esque fairytale feel to it. Clearly she‘s is a huge Disney fan—from the title to the animal friends, the curse, and all of the Disney easter eggs, like:

“But can you imagine? Me, dancing with that boorish, brainless. . ."

I skimmed most of it & never missed anything.

Book 7 for #wyrdandwonder

slategreyskies I‘d forgotten until this post that I‘d been meaning to try out pango books. Just signed up. It looks interesting. Thanks for the tip! :) 18h
wanderinglynn @slategreyskies Pango has certainly helped me clear my shelves . . . Only to fill them back up! 😆 18h

Have you ever passed by a book that you just had to have? How was I supposed to leave this gorgeous edition of Jules Verne's "Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea" behind in the shop? Impossible!
Also, how amazing is this Penguin series of clothbound classics? I'm in love ?
Gotta "catch'em all" now ?

Took 25 books to this “take one, leave one” book trolley at the mall, and found this one! For once it went this way, but very satisfied 🙂

Okay, I'm not going to say that reading in this hammock swing is the MOST comfortable thing but I also won't say that it's not either. Been dealing with a lot and it's nice to have this comfy spot to tuck up and read

#LitsyLove

RedxoHearts I love reading in my hammock. I recently had to get a new one and went with a hammock chair instead. It's even more comfortable I think 1d
AmyG If I read in a hammock I‘d be asleep before I finished page 1. Hope life gets a bit easier for you. (edited) 1d
jessinikkip @AmyG I did pretty good at staying awake until I got the pillow behind my head. Then I was sound asleep for a bit 😂 1d
jessinikkip @RedxoHearts oooh that sounds comfy! 1d

Tress of the Emerald Sea | Brandon Sanderson

Mehso-so

Several people have recommend Sanderson to me. I decided to give this one a go because (1) it's not over 500 pages & (2) it's a stand alone.

Honestly, I almost DNF'd it because I got bored & kept putting it down. I finally started skimming it just to see how it resolved. I realize I'm not the target demographic for this book, & maybe that's the issue. Overall, it was just okay, but it doesn't make me want to pick up any of his other books.

Ruthiella I think you could read the first Mistborn novel as a stand alone. It is 600+ pages, however. I read that trilogy and am happy to not read any further. But I understand the draw. He‘s so popular, it‘s hard to not have FOMO. 😃 2d
wanderinglynn @Ruthiella I‘ve picked up the first Mistborn book so many times when at a bookstore, mostly because people keep recommending it to me, but for some reason, I‘ve never gotten it. It just never called to me. And after reading this book, I doubt I‘ll ever pick it up or anything else he‘s written. I just didn‘t dig his writing + there are too many other books on my TBR. 1d
Laughterhp I‘ve tried to read Sanderson a few times too, but he‘s just not for me.. I bailed on this book. I read the first Mistborn but I think I only got through it because I read it on audio. 1d
wanderinglynn @Laughterhp glad I not the only one 🙌🏻 1d
