hello, I'm a writer and I love to read!I'm slowly incorporating the library in my neighborhood into the library in my house.. My most recent beta read was for Dancing Feet, a short story by tabitha ormiston-smith. It was a lovely read, with a modern and determined retelling of Cinderella, but without all the silly princess nonsense. check it out on amazon today

Camelot retelling

Guinevere is meeting king Arthur for the first time so they can be wed. Camelot has banned all magic, which Guinevere is skilled in.
I loved the authors twists on the classic arthurian ledgends. The big plot twist has me desperate for the next book.

Book Favorite

"I am obsessed with the subject matter. The Lewis and Clark expedition of 1804 remains the quintessential adventure. Ambrose perfectly distills the journals, and his skillful retelling of the journey becomes a perfect introduction to this important event. I own the 12-volume set of the journals published by the University of Nebraska and have spent a lot of time delving into that collection."

This was a funny yet deeply romantic retelling of Anne Lister's relationship with Ann Walker. The chemistry between the two actresses was beautiful watch. The soundtrack was also awesome. (0 more)

There wasn't really anything bad about this show. (0 more)

It's very difficult to explain everything that someone could possibly enjoy about this show in one review, my suggestion is to watch it for yourself and make up your mind.

I love a good old Alice retelling,I also love creepy things,therefore this is absolutely awesome. I was hooked from page 3. I was shocked at first by how graphic and creepy it really was and the path,sorry I mean rabbit hole we were going down but I soon adjusted and loved it. Can't wait to read the second one!

IDW has a great art team working on this title. BUT retelling classic Trek stories with slight twists to represent the new time line is lazy writing and quite frankly, boring. The best ones in the book stray far from the source material or are new stories to begin with. The same problem I have with the movies actually. Tell me new stories with this crew. Leave the prime universe alone.

This true story deserved a serious retelling rather than this pile of tripe. Trying to make a joke of what was an obviously horrific set of incidents just makes a mockery of the victims and what they went through. I found it pretty despicable. I only found out it was a true story at the end of the film and I had still found it dire and unfunny up till then.
