"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted at Breaking The Spine , that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating. My pick: Everyone knows a fairytale or two. They’re the kind of stories that seem to stick with you. Maybe it’s the magic. Maybe it’s the handsome prince. Or maybe they’re just the absolute perfect place to lose yourself for a little while. But what would happen if Snow White were around today? Would Cinderella still need a fairy godmother? And would the Little Mermaid show up on YouTube? Joanna Karaplis has put an unexpected spin on Snow White, Cinderella, and The Little Mermaid; she’s quietly fractured the stories and then reassembled them for the 21st Century. So, while there may not be a whole lot of horse-drawn carriages and magic potions, you can be sure that there will be at least one evil witch and maybe even a handsome prince (or two)… Joanna Karaplis November 1st 2010 by McKellar and Martin Publishing Gr...
I read I am Malala last year and really enjoyed it. She is such an inspiring person.
ReplyDeleteShe is, right? I want to know more of her.
DeleteI'm trying to decide if I should give Looking for Alaska a chance. I loved TFIOS, but since a friend completely to me, it's just not exciting anymore. But maybe I'll read it before the movie comes out. Still, hope you come to enjoy it!
ReplyDeleteThanks! A friend told me it wasn't so amazing but I still want to read it and see for myself.
DeleteI haven't read any of these, but the first three have been on my TBR mountain chain for awhile now. *Sigh* So many books, so little time ...
ReplyDeleteHappy TTT (on a Wednesday)!
Same feeling....so many books!!
DeleteCreature of Moonlight has always seemed so interesting! And I do love that cover.
ReplyDeleteThe cover is so pretty *_*
DeleteI am Malala is actually a book I bought for my mother's birthday a few years ago and now that she is done with it I do want to read it myself as well! I have watched the movie Persepolis and loved it, so I want to try the book as well. And lastly, I have read Looking for Alaska and found it to be a decent read, but not one I loved. Some nice addictions there!
ReplyDeleteI didn't know about Persepolis, the movie! I'll have to watch it someday :)
