Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom (Revised) | Cory Doctorow

Just organized my list for February's #BookSpin draw. This year I've done things a bit different and organized my list by page number so for the first time the list reorganizes each month rather than keeping the non-picked titles at the same spot. I am so very close to finishing my January pick so hopefully I can still keep up and not fall like seven novels behind this year. Fingers crossed!

Thank you for hosting @TheAromaofBooks

Kiss the Girl | Zoraida Cordova

pick

Very cold temperatures yesterday (high of -6 F) meant lots of cozy reading time. Finished #auldlangspine book 4.

This was a fun music inspired retelling of The Little Mermaid. I loved the Disney movie as a girl so it was delightful to find all the connections with that story & see how the author brought Ariel & Eric to a modern timeline. The music theme w/ Eric‘s up & coming band + Ariel‘s pop princess background added a fun element to the story.

monalyisha Oooohhh. I don‘t know if I need this or if it‘s best to avoid it. 😅 I was OBSESSED with The Little Mermaid as a kid. And then, coincidentally (?) the first boy who broke my heart was named Ariel. A real toss-up! 1w

Zuhkeeyah @MeganAnn I loved all the references to the original Disney movie that were worked into the story without feeling forced. 6d

MeganAnn @monalyisha that is a toss-up! I think anyone who loved the Disney movie will likely enjoy this for the nostalgia factor. But if you don‘t want to revisit the coordinating heartbreak then perhaps it‘s not for you. 🤔 I think you might also enjoy the touring band/music scene part of it too with your husband‘s musicality. 6d

MeganAnn @Zuhkeeyah yes! I smiled every time I came across another reference… and I‘ve been singing Kiss the Girl for days now. 😆🧜🏻‍♀️ 6d

Once Upon a Dream: A Twisted Tale | Liz Braswell

pick

Took longer for me to get into this one than it has with some other books I‘ve read recently. I think this was a good retelling with a hint of Nightmare on Elm Street. Not my favorite of the Twisted Tales so far, but I still enjoyed it overall. #onceuponadream #lizbraswell #library #hardcover #disney #sleepingbeauty #aurora #fairytale #retelling

Fate Be Changed: A Twisted Tale | Farrah Rochon

pick

A Disney twisted tale. Very good twist on the original story. It was complex and a wee bit dark. It wasn‘t spicy but if I could put a half chili I would. Overall a great book.
