Rose McGowan recommended Eva Luna (English translation) in Books (curated)

"Through Eva Luna and her stories, I went on a shimmering odyssey of the mind. Allende’s writing has such texture, she makes me hear, see, feel, smell the world with her words."

Book Favorite

"Canin was my graduate school advisor, but well before that, I was an admirer of his work. This book of four long stories is wise and calm, beautifully plotted and patiently told."

Audiobook: Stephen Fry’s excellent book narrated expertly.

I love Stephen Fry’s voice, and he reads his book so well. There’s great detail and great story choices. I’m a big fan of Greek mythology anyway, ever since I was a child, and this is a superb way to revisit those stories. It’s a great selection, I really enjoyed his take on the stories and what he added to the dialogue of the Gods, Goddesses and unfortunate humans.

Booksnthreads (19 KP) rated Doctor Who: Time Lord Fairy Tales in Books

Jun 5, 2018

I love fairy tales, and I love Doctor Who, so this book was absolutely perfect. It's also a wonderful combination of retold familiar tales and original stories that are in the vein of fairy tales.

I found it fun that in most stories, I could clearly identify which Doctor was appearing in that story. I also appreciated that he is often not the main character.

It was so much fun to read that it was over far too quickly.

Surprisingly decent

Ok this haunted house/ghost story turned out better than expected. Started off a little slow but picked up and took off with interesting tales and some creepy creatures. If you're into horror stories this is a good one. The acting was not the greatest but ther effects and stories had plenty of grossness and spookiness to make up for it. Nothing too scary for the younger crowd(IF they're not too young). Worth a watch!
