Hi Alice! It's a fun book and creative in its use of fairy tale characters. Thanks for visiting!
DeleteRegina Jennings was one of my favs to but I didn't have room to put her in my top ten!
ReplyDeleteI loved her book and am very excited about her next one coming out in a few short months! Thanks for visiting!
DeleteI discovered Carol Ripka Brunt, the author of Tell the Wolves I'm Home. So good! Stop by my blog for my list and a giveaway :)
ReplyDeleteThat's an interesting sounding title! I'll be popping over for a visit soon. Thanks for visiting!
DeleteHi, Rina!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for including me in this list! It means a lot. Do you think you might like to try my second book, as well? I would have got to you sooner, but the new release took a lot of my time. Here's the link: http://www.amazon.com/Welsh-Healer-Century-England-ebook/dp/B009Z06NPM/ref=la_B007XVGJ72_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1355457107&sr=1-1
Check it out, and if you're interested send me a message on Goodreads or the website. I will gladly forward you a review copy! Again, thank you for your support!
Hi Ginger!
DeleteYour book was a wonderful reading experience. It was long but that just added to it's wonderfulness b/c I didn't have to say goodbye to characters so quickly. Looking forward to your second book and sending you a message in 3, 2, 1...
