The first review of the year! Writing this one always feels fresh and hopeful to me and like it may set the tone of my reading year in a way. This was a very good one to start with. And the moral of this story appears to be: I will never tire of Beauty and the Beast retellings. A fact I was not unaware of, but that I am happy to have confirmed once more, this time after reading Brigid Kemmerer's A Curse So Dark and Lonely. My favorites tend to run the Robin McKinley way, with the most recent favorite retelling being Meagan Spooner's wonderful Hunted. But this is the first retelling of my favorite fairy tale that I've read that includes both traditional fantasy and modern contemporary settings. I didn't think it could work. Or, at least, I was skeptical that the one would interfere with the other or that the different dialogues might clash. How happy I was to find that the whole thing played out seamlessly. How happy I am to have discovered Brigid Kemmerer's writin…
How awesome!
ReplyDeleteThat is AWESOME!
ReplyDeleteOh wow! I love how they organized it by color too!
ReplyDeleteI wonder if the books are coated with anything - the practical side of me can't help but think it might be a pain to dust, but it does look stunning!
What a cool desk, but I'm guessing it's perhaps not much drawers in it LOL

ReplyDeleteI've seen that around elsewhere. Very cool. (Brought here by both Suey and Persnickety Snark; I'll probably stay, too. Nice blog! :-D)
ReplyDeleteI saw this earlier today! It's so awesome. Though I have a slight ADD destructive streak and I think I would want to play Jenga with it. :)
ReplyDeleteOh my! The beauty. Me want.
ReplyDeleteThat is so cool! I want one for myself. LOL.

ReplyDeletei wish i had a link to share, but a friend of mine, on their travels, found a library with large metal letters on its front that said:

which made me want to go it immediately. :)
so totally cool.
