An hour before Azalea‘s first ball began, she paced the ballroom floor, tracing her toes in a waltz. She had the opening dance with the King . . . who danced like a brick.🩰

This is a reimagined story of the 12 dancing princesses. Growing up, this was my all time favorite Barbie movie so imagine my surprise when I came across this book! I had to jump right in!

Even though most reviews say it wasn‘t a favorite, I loved reading it. There were some parts that dragged a bit for my liking but I like the plot and the sisterly bonding between the princesses.
(Contd in comments ⬇️)

i.besteph (…..contd) The possible matchmaking was so cute! And the meet-cutes were such wholesome plots, it made me smile.

Rating: 4/5

This was a strong so so that a more talented writer and editor team could have made a pick. Twelve princesses who love to dance, an evil undead creature and several beaus, and magick- it was slow! #lmpbc

TheAromaofBooks I definitely chose the bummer book of this round! 😂 I think it was frustrating because it was SO CLOSE to being a good story - but the pacing was all wrong. 3y
Laughterhp This sums it up perfectly! 😂 3y
Catsandbooks I agree! A better writer could have made this fantastic! 3y
Chrissyreadit @TheAromaofBooks I agree the potential was huge! 3y

women who can blow the walls of brick buildings. This sounds like a girl." -Sam Seaborn, The West Wing

I made a list in this year‘s journal of all the books I own and haven‘t read... it takes up three pages 😳 Time to buckle down on reading from my shelves! I‘m using the first twenty titles for this month‘s #bookspin and #doublespin, and if it goes well I‘ll continue next month with the next twenty. Starting with the tagged title tonight.

LiteraryinLawrence Whoa, what a great idea! 3y
Johanna414 That's such a great idea - but I think I'm scared to try it! Maybe if I broke it down into categories? 3y

I found this book really annoying. There was weird sound effects within the book, which I didn‘t always understand. I don‘t want to say too much about it because I don‘t want to ruin other people‘s experiences with it for #LMPBC

TheAromaofBooks I also didn't love this one, although part of it was I was in a major reading slump at the time & pretty much had to make myself finish. Feel free to bash it in your notes - those are usually my favorite responses to read when I get it back 😂 3y

#BookReport - Kind of a dreadful reading week for me. I'm staying on top of Moby-Dick & Northanger Abbey, but not much else is happening!! Currently reading the tagged book, which I subbed in for my #LMPBC pick after I bailed on Kingdom of Back. I have less than a hundred pages in Entwined & despite wanting to know what happens & really enjoying it, I just can't seem to get to it! Here's hoping #NovelNovember will help me get back in the groove!!!

Leftcoastzen It‘s hard .I gave up on one because of other reading commitments.More of a good book but bad timing situation. 3y
TheAromaofBooks @Leftcoastzen - I don't know why the last two weeks have just been packed full!! I am ready for a quiet winter! 3y

Oh my gosh, this week just keeps getting busier!! I miss being on Litsy! All I have time to do is check my notifications & run out the door & I have no idea how everyone is actually doing!!!!

Anyway, here's to hoping for a quieter week next week & doing some reading for #NovelNovember with @Andrew65 is definitely on my goals list!! I like to think of the Novel being the adjective rather than the noun, making this a new & unusual readathon! 😂 ⬇

TheAromaofBooks Goals: Stay on track with Moby-Dick & Northanger Abbey, finish the tagged book (so close!!) & read five other books!! We will see what happens. It feels like forever since I actually finished a book! 3y
i.besteph I get what you mean! I‘ve been sooo busy I barely get time to be on here 😩 3y
Andrew65 Moby Dick takes some reading doesn‘t it. I‘m on Chapter 51. Good luck with the Readathon, 😊👍 Know what you mean about busy! 3y

TheAromaofBooks @Andrew65 - I just finished chapter 54 & had to read one paragraph more than once as I thought someone was dead & then a few sentences later he was chasing a whale! 😂 It's definitely a book where I have to stay focused!! 3y

A cute retelling of the fairytale The Twelve Dancing Princesses, with a heart-warming ending. A fairly quick read (I got pretty into it and read it in two days). I really enjoyed it! There was a charming mix of characters and I loved how dancing played a central role. I wish I could learn the Entwine! 💃🏻💕
7.5/10

TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!! I read this one when it was first published and have been meaning to reread it since all I remember is that I enjoyed it! 4y

Azalea has it all before her—beautiful gowns, handsome suitors, balls filled with dancing—then it‘s all taken away and Azalea feels trapped. The Keeper understands, because he is trapped, too. Trapped within the walls of the palace. The Keeper extends Azalea and her eleven sisters an invitation to step through an enchanted passage in their room to dance in the silver forest, but there is a cost. A retelling of The Twelve Dancing Princesses. 3.5 ✨

“The Entwine, also known as the Gentleman‘s Catch, is an amusing and challenging redowa suitable for accomplished partners. Of Eathesburian #origin, it dates to circa 1635, when Chevalier De Eathe (also known as the High King D‘Eathe) reigned. As magic was common in this time period, the High King would catch and “entwine” people‘s souls after they had died, and subject them to the darkest of magics.”

"She loved this. The feeling of stretching herself tight, releasing, spinning, Falling breathless and feeling the air across her face. Seeing her sisters so happy, their pale cheeks pink with delight. It was magic." (Dixon 109). Entwined is a Twelve Dancing Princesses retelling. I'm really enjoying it so far!❤️??

Hard Choice for #bestofmarch Entwined or Mr Penumbra's 24 Hour Bookstore? Different genres LOVED them both.
Total books read 10. Finished up last book in Gail Carriger's Paraverse.

Was looking for an #E for #LitsyA2Zchallenge @BookishMarginalia & saw that my favorite local librarian recommended this. Just adored it! This Retelling of 12 Dancing Princesses Fairytale has it all: Adventure, Romance, Snarky Sisters (Bramble is my fav) & best of all Father/Daughter relationships. Which as Librarian Marie pointed out you don't often see in YA Fiction.
