I‘m continuing my 2025 #bookspin “slices of my bookshelves” journey with yellow and green spines on my paperback and hardcover fiction shelves and just 2 greenish nonfiction. What will @TheAromaofBooks pull for our April numbers?

I will definitely be reading The Bees for my bookclub.

The beauty of the Alaskan wilderness is on full display here in this modern take on the Beauty and the Beast fairytale. Although Birdie has community support raising her daughter she feels stifled by their always watching eyes. When Arthur offers her an opportunity to live in solitude, nature and maybe even love, it seems like the answer she‘s needed to make a positive change for her and Emaleen. 3.5🌟

Thank you #NetGalley!

#CoverStories Day 21: 13 #Clock(s) tells the story of an evil duke who has murdered time (all thirteen clocks in the castle had been frozen at the same time, one snowy night, seven years before – thus it was always ten minutes to five in the castle); an enchanted princess; and a Prince disguised as a Minstrel who wishes to save the princess.

Very in character for me to read a Sleeping Beauty reimagining - the theme for February‘s #fairytalereadingchallenge at the end of March… it kept me company on the train from Canberra to Sydney. I love Alix E. Harrow and this was enjoyable BUT calling girls who love Cinderella best vanilla right at the start. Ouch! The Disney version features the art and colour palette of Mary Blair AND Gus Gus! 😐

tpixie I agree - she was a little judgy judgy! Fun read though Sleeping Beauty returns in 5d
thegirlwiththelibrarybag @tpixie, especially since she gave the romantic girls Beauty & the Beast 🤔 like ok? I am slowly working my way through her backlist - so I‘ll get to Mirror Mended, eventually! (edited) 5d

thegirlwiththelibrarybag @tpixie, I haven‘t read that one yet - even though the paperback is sitting patiently on my bookshelf 🫣 my favourite so far 4d
tpixie @thegirlwiththelibrarybag that‘s great also! I really enjoyed her novels. The Novelas were OK, but the novels were great. 4d
thegirlwiththelibrarybag @tpixie, I‘ve really enjoyed her short stories too - she has a new one out (an Amazon exclusive unfortunately) the knight and the butcherbird. 4d
tpixie @thegirlwiththelibrarybag oh! Thanks! I‘ll look for it. 4d

Vanilla! Those are fighting words!!!

OrangeMooseReads 😄 they are indeed fightin words! Cinderella is anything but vanilla 5d
lil1inblue 😂 I think I take issue with all of the descriptions. 😂 5d
thegirlwiththelibrarybag @lil1inblue, fair! (In the main characters defence, she is a dying girl so she does relate to sleeping beauty) 5d
Centique I always preferred Sleeping Beauty. Maleficient! Merryweather and Flora and Fauna! But then again the mice in Cinderella were awesome too 😍 1d
thegirlwiththelibrarybag @Centique, both movies had concept art by Mary Blair (you can tell by the bold colour palette) so both top tier in my book! Gus Gus does have my whole heart tho! 1d
