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.
a quick read (i’m starting to realize that’s a pattern for me.. is that good or bad?), this is also a good story. as much as i enjoy re-tellings of fairy tales, i realized tonight that i’ve gotten used to those authors who do most of them and, as good as (most of them) are, all their stories start to sound the same, have the same atmosphere, phrasing, etc.
well, not this one. it’s much darker for one. though a little too preachy at times, this book really stands out. the writing isn’t as beautiful – nor is it trying to be.
[link to the author’s website – there’s a great ‘recommended books’ page]
