Stardust
By Neil Gaiman
Once read a review will be written via Smashbomb and link posted in comments
Life moves at a leisurely pace in the tiny town of Wall - named after the imposing stone barrier which separates the town from a grassy meadow. Here, young Tristran Thorn has lost his heart to the beautiful Victoria Forester and for the coveted prize of her hand, Tristran vows to retrieve a fallen star and deliver it to his beloved. It is an oath that sends him over the ancient wall and into a world that is dangerous and strange beyond imagining . . .
This was such a cute little fairy tale! It was a little odd and quirky I loved it. Neil Gaiman is brilliant and his writing is brilliant! It was genuinely a sweet fairy tale written in Victorian England/ fairie land.

This story is sweet. I reminds me of the story “The Boy who Cried Wolf” when Gertrude and Toby see a little boy. The boy say he see a wolf. If you know that fairy tale story. The moral of the story you think this story is going be somewhat like that.
It also features another story or fairy Tale which is called “The Three Little Pigs”. The author does wonderful with mixing it a bit with the two starting with “The boy who Cried Wolf” scenes and then somewhat changed it to add the “The Three Little Pigs” scenes. The ending is done cute as well.
My favorite is the artwork that is done. The pictures are drawn well. I really like that. They look like some took the time to draw the scene and the the wording was put together after. Who will win their fishing contest?

Personally, I loved this book. A full-on fairy-tale itself, it incorporates so many details that I wouldn't have even thought of. Very few plot holes were left open, and I loved how the author incorporated details from the original versions of the books, and not only the Disney versions.
I loved the way this book went, full of surprises and so many amazing things. Definetely worth your time.

Obsessed book reviews (49 KP) rated Taming Lily (The Fowler Sisters, #3) in Books

this is the last book in the set, I enjoyed this book, the characters are very strong and well written. the romance between the characters is not a fairy tale one but this only adds to the story line. the story moves at a good pace which keeps you engaged throughout. some of the steamy scenes are incredibly hot.

Oh My God! What a story! I loved it; how you saw they're relationship develop and Camryn's confidence grow. It was an amazing story and recommend it to others.
!!Spoiler Alert!!
That last twelve % was hard to read through my tears, i'm just glad it all worked out in the end considering and as Natalie said "it would be a cruel fairy-tale" if it hadnt worked out.

Classic Childs tale
Contains spoilers, click to show
Lyra is a orphan growing up with a group of boring scholars. She has an incredible imagination and would drop anything to do in an adventure with her best pal Roger.
However Roger is kidnapped and taken north by the gobblers. Lyra, being the strong independent young woman she is, is determined to get him back.
This classic story has everything to get your imagination going. There are kidnappings, witches, daemons, armoured bears, hot air balloon trips and a machine that can tell the truth.
Totally worth a read
