Honeycomb by Joanne Harris is a collection of short fairy tales that are all connected by way of the Lacewing King so that a bigger picture of this world is built. The Lacewing King is a cruel and selfish ruler, as are many of the Kings and Queens of the Silken Folk. However the Lacewing King begins to learn that there are consequences to his actions.

I loved these stories. I’m a huge fan of fairytales, myths and legends - they’re most definitely not just stories for children, as these dark and often disturbing stories prove. In fact, these short tales are just like the original fairy tales, in that people are tricked, driven to madness and die (but not ALL the time!).

The seemingly separate stories gives the reader more insight to the world of the Silken Folk, and the overarching story of the Lacewing King was just perfection. The beautiful artwork by Charles Vess really does make this a very special book, and I’m going to be sad to see it go back to the library!

I’d highly recommend this wonderful book.

150th disney plus review
Finally reached my 150th Disney plus review when I started my quest to watch everything on Disney plus was about the time of the first uk lockdown in 2020 and now I've reached 150 what's to come who knows at the moment more movies and TV shows some u wouldn't normally associate with disney and those u would.
On with the review itself as I'm on the last few episodes of season 2 and boy probably one of my favourite seasons more episodes this season after only six new characters hershel and Maggie and the farm where the season takes place of course got to mention the walkers as well especially the make up team who've created there look. My favourite character of the season goes to Shane played brillianty by Jon bernthal as u watch his decent into madness thruout all 13 episodes I can see why he was chosen to play the punisher for marvel. Overall good season bring on the governor next season

Where I found this book: I read The BFG in 3rd grade and basically fell in love with Roald Dahl. I went to my local library very soon after and looked for any Roald Dahl book. I came back with George’s Marvelous Medicine and I’m the better for it.

How it’s written: From George’s perspective, you get to see how awful his grandmother is and his hilarious remedy for it. Then read as the madness continues when it’s time to give grandma more medicine.

What I like about this book: For me, it was one of the funniest things I had read up to that point. My own grandma would say rude things to me and my sisters, which I guess is why I was drawn to this book. A combination of the hilarious writing and the wonderful plot had me absorbed by this book when I was young.

Final Thoughts: There is always something so ridiculous and curious about Roald Dahl’s work. He really knew how to make reading fun.

Wonderland

Lost in a world of Hatters and Hares
Tea cups and tea pots
And different size chairs
Rabbits in waistcoats
Madness looms near
You're late young Alice
Sit down my dear
 
Curiouser and curiouser
And who would ever think
That a cake could make you grow
And a liquid could make you shrink!
 
Cats can smile
And vanish without a trace
Every creature can talk
Every flower has a face
This is the place
Where nothing is more exciting
Than a jolly caucus race!
 
Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum
They just want to have fun
They're two of a kind
Both have lost their minds
But then again...
We're all mad here
That's the way it should be
So come and join the party
Sit down and drink some tea!



- Connor J Sheffield


This is one of my happier poems. A lot of my poetry is dark and Gothic horror but I am trying to write more upbeat poetry and the first one I ever really wrote that wasn't horrifying or dark was this. Inspired, as if it isn't obvious, by Through The Looking Glass/Alice In Wonderland.
