Non traditional
I like the concept of the story , but if you are a fan of th fairy tale sweet versions these dark ones might really not be for you. I didn’t expect to like to much . Better than I thought it would be.

A classic
I still love this story after countless readings and about as many reboots. Few are unfamiliar with the story, which lends itself well to contemporary retellings. But I enjoy revisiting the original now and then. It's a very quick read, and one of my favorite ghost stories and tales of redemption. If Scrooge can change, who can't?

Short and sweet
A great addition to the wizarding world collection. This is a short but sweet read with a few stories that are "classics for young wizards". JK Rowling was clever to think of adding commentaries by Dumbledore after each story, this really feels like Dumbledore is engaging with the reader. What's not to like?

Is there such a thing as a bad Calvin and Hobbes book? Not quite as many stories but some sharp looks at our culture that are still relevant 20 years later. And just plan plenty of laughs.

Lirahlu (37 KP) rated The Burning Sky (The Elemental Trilogy, #1) in Books
Mar 19, 2018
For some reason Sherry Thomas has the ability to take stories you think will be boring and turn them into an entirely new and entertaining premise. Aspects of the Burning Sky were predictable but they were set in a world kept the reader intrigued and wanting to know more.

Next in the Dragon King Series. 4 Stars from me. Thought it was a little slow in the beginning but was worth the wait. I wouldn't recommend this as a stand alone read, there's just to many other stories going on that I can't wait to be resolved.
Many thanks to Donna and the publisher for this ARC

Napoli makes Norse mythology incredibly accessible, not only for young readers but also us older readers who don't have the time or inclination to wade through the tangled tapestry that is Norse mythology. The stories are engaging and help readers understand the characters, their key traits, and the major storylines associated with them. The illustrations are lovely as well.

The positive theme of finding a purpose in life
Love between a dog and a human
Much better than the movie!
This book has so many more stories than what you see in the movie and you really get to understand what the dog is thinking and feeling. It's a very interesting experience.
