Why Did I Read? Say the words fairytale retelling and I am there. I don’t know why, but I just love fairytale retellings! I think I love the fairytale stories themselves and also enjoy all the possible alternative twists. It’s a lot of fun. My Thoughts: If you are a fan of retellings, this is not one to miss! The premise is a very unique take on the classic Cinderella story that is inventive and fresh. Sophia and all the […]

Why Did I Read? When I was a kid, Ella Enchanted was my absolute favorite. I reread it so many times. I still own the same copy I had when I was young and the pages are yellowed, the cover is creased and it’s very, very well loved. I was downright ecstatic when I found out there was going to be another story in the same world! My Thoughts: Well, I was a little (please forgive my pun) disenchanted with […]

Why Did I Read? I really love fairy tale retellings! I’m such a sucker for them. My Thoughts: Well. My first thought after I finished was THANK GOD I’M FINALLY DONE. That’s not a good sign. I just had so many issues with this and I have come to the conclusion that C.J. Redwine is not for me. I feel rather a black sheep about this, so just know that a lot of people loved this book! It just didn’t […]

My Thoughts: I’m not going to lie, I was a little wary heading into this one. The majority of my friends on GR had rated this pretty low and I was skeptical. However, I think I enjoyed it more than most! The premise really drew me in — crime families dealing in illegal organ transplants and organ trafficking? I’m in! I thought the set up was really interesting because while these crime families are making a lot of money, they are […]
