This was was just a cute, fun re-telling of Cinderella (ish).
Beauty by Robin McKinley is my all-time favorite. I happened upon it in our library quite randomly and have since read it, no lie, ten times.
ReplyDeleteWow, ten times? I'm impressed! I rarely re-read books, but I am thinking that it might be fun to re-read this one, since it was so good.;)
DeleteThanks for stopping by!
Beauty seems to be making everyone's list today... and that must be for good reads. Still have to read Marissa's re-telling series, and I've seen My Fair Godmother around. It does sound really cute. :)
ReplyDeleteI didn't realize it would be such a popular choice! It is a good one though.;)
DeleteI like all the books I have read by Janette Rallison, since they are nice, light reads.
I must admit, Cinder is the only one I have read from your list, but a lot of them look really good! Book of a Thousand Days has definitely piqued my interest! Great list :)
