2. Go back to your blog, and give us a list of your top favorite rereads of all time. You know, those books that you can go to time and time again for comfort and escape. Again, pictures are always good but not required.
The first answer that came to mind for this one is The Princess Bride by William Goldman. I’ve seen the movie too many times to count, and read the book now four times. Each time it thrills me more and more and gives me a different, but still satisfying, feeling. There really isn’t another book quite like it.
I’ve never read the Princess Bride despite seeing the movie a dozen times. I need to read it. Enjoy your books!
I really like the name of your blog
I’ve also never read but have heard good things about Cinder and Ella. Actually, when I was younger, I had a crazy obsession with Cinderella (the Disney version) and since then have been very reluctant to read books that retell the story in a way that make either Cinderella or the Prince look bad. I am weirdly defensive of them. That probably says a lot about me that isn’t very positive.
You did great! Congratulations!! Hope you had lots of fun!
