my pie in the sky wishlist at powells. really though, i can get more book elsewhere for cheaper so i'm all about the gift certificates! ;)
i'm not interested in making any money off of any of this, i just wanted to be able to post the book cover pictures because that's prettier and more interesting.
theoretically, i would get a comission off of any purchases through this site, but a) i'm not expecting a dime, and b) if i do get a dime, it'll go to a charity. which? not sure. if you have any ideas/inclinations, please tell me.
also, check out the following sites for (usually) cheaper prices: bookfinder.com, alibris.com, overstock.com, & bookcloseouts.com.
sleeping beauty was never one of my favorite fairy tales when i was little but it seems that some of my favorite fairy tale re-tellings are ones of sleeping beauty. this one was an easy fast read but still thoughtful and graceful.
the heroine was entirely believable and the love-interest boy is sweet and mysterious, but in a much more interesting way than usual.
for the first time in probably years, since i just had to know how it ended, i read it in class with the book on my knees under the table. ha! wonder if my teacher knew. i felt so 13 reading it like that. (and also felt so bad-ass, just like i did when i was 13. whatta dork.)
