Books I've read this week

Pets in Need by Marc Abraham

Children's, 8 years +

(Follow Mark's entertaining [and sometimes sad] life as a night time emergency vet...)

9/10

Dragonskin Slippers by Jessica Day George

Children's, 8 years +

(This is so awesome I want to jump up and down whenever I think of it!  Communicating with dragons, having a conniving bratty princess after you is something Creel manages to take in stride with humour....)

10/10

Little Princesses: The Fairytale Princess by Katie Chase

Children's, 7 years +

(The dragon, knight & princess combination isn't what it sounds like, as Rosie finds out....)

10/10

Little Princesses: The Cloud Princess by Katie Chase

Children's, 7 years +

(Antics from Cupid keep Rosie occupied, as do the Harpies...)

10/10

Little Princesses: The Dream-Catcher Princess by Katie Chase

Children's, 7 years +

(This series of Rosie who lives in her aunt's castle and can have adventures with various princesses painted/woven on objects is amazing! In this book there's a princess who I wouldn't have thought of as being a princess.)

10/10

Books I'm rereading

 

Breaking Dawn by Stephanie Meyer

Those of you on Twitter may have noticed that I'm going to watch the films. Friends have said I wouldn't enjoy them, and I do believe them; but I figure I'll watch them once, as I'm enjoying the story on the second read through. If I do like it, I can always skip the parts I don't like, or focus on my knitting until they are over. (I scare & blush easily.) I confess to not really liking the actor playing Edward - not how I imagined him at all. I'm only watching the films because I really like the look of Bella, who I've been informed by a reliable source that most people actually aren't fond of. I often think the opposite of popular opinion for anime, so this isn't entirely surprising. I'm pretty sure I'll be laughing through a lot of it (and not feeling guilty for that).
