I took every version of this story out of the library plus I own a few editions to read this month for read a loud times and after school reading.
Remember you can start next months Nancy Drew The Secret of the Old Clock to join in #NancyDrewBR with @LibraryBelle she is having a discussion on November 15.

Everyone welcome!!

Here‘s the books I think I‘ll be focusing on for #20in4 and #ReadySetRead on October 1st. It is my birthday weekend, so not sure how much reading I‘ll actually get done.

Cress is a Lunar, stuck on a satellite orbiting Earth. Her mission from the Lunars who exiled her is to collect information on those on Earth who threaten Lunar and its inhabitants, including Cinder and her crew.

Where are my fellow fairy tale lovers at? I've got a quiz for you!

While this was an amazing book, calling it a Cinderella retelling is a bit of a stretch. Sure, the beginning and ending go pretty well, but the middle had almost no ties to Cinderella. I loved that Cindy actually had a good relationship with her step mom and sisters. I wish that Jay had been in it a little more! 5🌟

Wow, I certainly wasn‘t expecting how much I‘d love this book. The beginning had my heart aching for David, but his journey throughout this entire book was something I won‘t forget. What a completely different and dark take on fairy tales, and how not all endings are always happy. I‘m now telling everyone to go read this.

My rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I‘m not sure whether this is meant to be a kids book or more of an illustrated for adults story… it‘s an adaptation of a fairytale, though the author admits he changed the story a good deal. I thought it was cute, a bit dark for kids, but fairytales do tend to be don‘t they?

Sietje is annoyed I asked her to pose with a book again 😆
