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.
so great! i think napoli is an incredibly gifted writer and so far i’ve loved all of her books (though this one and Zel are my favorites by far). she focuses, in general, on re-telling fairy tales: fleshing them out, making them real, and seeing different sides in the story.
one thing though, i did feel really strongly that one or two pages more at the end were needed.. or maybe i just wanted my happy ending. sigh.
this is such a beautiful book – even if you don’t like fantasy (god forbid!) or fairy-tales (gasp!), this book has a lot of just pure good (and bad) human truth. if you don’t like it, i’ll eat my shoe.
