I think it's a quote from C.S. Lewis (one of my favorite childhood reads) that says something like "Some day you'll be old enough to enjoy fairy tales again." That Clive Staples - he's a wise one. AND *whispers* I do like the Ella Enchanted movie - I even own it. I think only because saw it long before I read the book. I COMPLETELY get why fans of the book would loathe the movie as they are two different beasts. Okay I'll never speak of this again now! I have Two Princesses of Bamarre on my kindle for reading soon.Rudejasperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08262824398753157757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3758954459010253052.post-29807644113172822672013-12-24T13:31:57.496-06:002013-12-24T13:31:57.496-06:00Ah!

I've read almost all of Gail Carson Levine's books and enjoyed them, particularly The Two Princesses of Bamarr, but my childhood is practically built on an obsession with Ella EnchantedElizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17058009271288566400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3758954459010253052.post-60214136839309766222013-12-22T13:18:26.558-06:002013-12-22T13:18:26.558-06:00The first book in Abercrombie's The First Law ...The first book in Abercrombie's The First Law series does take a little bit to get going but once it does, it's worth the slow beginning. Hope you do get to check some of these authors out in 2014. Too many books and so little time!Rudejasperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08262824398753157757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3758954459010253052.post-10853469326183590232013-12-21T06:20:13.410-06:002013-12-21T06:20:13.410-06:00Joe Abercrombie has been on my TBR list for a whil...Joe Abercrombie has been on my TBR list for a while!
