Penny is my favorite because she really stands up for her thoughts!

It’s taking me a long time because I’m learning to read it by myself!

Decent follow up from book 1. Likable characters. Somewhat predictable ending. Will follow up with book 3

I like how she used old things to make something new

I was disappointed that this was not a novel but 6 short stories based in New York and a novella based in Hollywood in 1936. The novella made up for the other stories.

I’m a HUGE Amanda Lovelace fan, so I came in with big expectations and was not disappointed. So great! Collection of 3 Fairytale inspired books in one. Not sure what the final one is inspired by but still great! I read Flower Crowns and Fearsome things right before this and it was lacking, so this restored my confidence in her works. Great read!

I read this all by myself

I thought that I would like the plot more than I did. I am not a huge fan of regency era romance but I do like to read it once in a while. This was not it for me.

Once I entered the world of Jane Eyre, I was hooked. I can see why there is longstanding appeal of this romantic novel by Charlotte Bronte. The story of an orphan who survived adversity and emerged heroically never gets old. The somewhat antiquated style of writing was charming and easy to follow. The addition of lines of French monologue in spots only added to the allure of this book. There were copious notes in the back of the book that explained expressions used or elements of history with which the reader may not have been familiar. Though its length of 500+ pages may have seemed daunting, the pages flew by, enveloped by the love story of Jane and Mr. Rochester. Highly recommend.

Very fun and engaging. Great facts about underwater creatures to learn as well
