Very cold temperatures yesterday (high of -6 F) meant lots of cozy reading time. Finished #auldlangspine book 4.

This was a fun music inspired retelling of The Little Mermaid. I loved the Disney movie as a girl so it was delightful to find all the connections with that story & see how the author brought Ariel & Eric to a modern timeline. The music theme w/ Eric‘s up & coming band + Ariel‘s pop princess background added a fun element to the story.

monalyisha Oooohhh. I don‘t know if I need this or if it‘s best to avoid it. 😅 I was OBSESSED with The Little Mermaid as a kid. And then, coincidentally (?) the first boy who broke my heart was named Ariel. A real toss-up! 1mo

Zuhkeeyah @MeganAnn I loved all the references to the original Disney movie that were worked into the story without feeling forced. 1mo

MeganAnn @monalyisha that is a toss-up! I think anyone who loved the Disney movie will likely enjoy this for the nostalgia factor. But if you don‘t want to revisit the coordinating heartbreak then perhaps it‘s not for you. 🤔 I think you might also enjoy the touring band/music scene part of it too with your husband‘s musicality. 1mo

MeganAnn @Zuhkeeyah yes! I smiled every time I came across another reference… and I‘ve been singing Kiss the Girl for days now. 😆🧜🏻‍♀️ 1mo

Yup - this was perfect for me right now. I am loving the Meant to Be series of retellings- and this Little Mermaid with a Latin twist was so fun!

This might be my favorite of the Meant to Be series so far. A modern retelling of The Little Mermaid with a unique Latinx flair. I was genuinely invested in Ariel and Eric's relationship.

Absolutely fantastic! Loved this installment of Disney‘s Little Mermaid imagined for grown ups. Ariel, one of 6 sisters in a world renowned girl band, meets Eric, an up and coming musician who loves music, except for hers. Mistaken identity, forced proximity, quirky bandmates, and an adorable guinea pig make for a charming story full of life and heart. Great on #audio. #BookspinBingo @TheAromaofBooks

5✨ I love this series! This one is a little mermaid retelling about two singers. It follows the story most of us grew up knowing from Disney, but oh man is it better than I expected. 🥰 #SeriesLove @Andrew65 @TheSpineView

This book is intended for children between the ages of four and seven. After looking over the book I would have to agree. This seems to be a very fun, engaging, and adventurous story for children of these ages to interact with. It is a very easy read with illustrations to help in depicting the plot. This book is also a part of a series which can allow children the opportunity to build on their understanding across other books within in the series.
