The last notes of a pop song faded out over the movie credits, and the real world re-formed itself around Brendan.
In place of a happily-ever-after kingdom of flowers and birds and kings and queens, there was a small, cold cubicle of a room, bare and icy white.

pickPretty good. Do I keep reading the series or no?
A high white moon cast its light on the city below as brightly as the sun was said to shine in northern countries. White mud-brick buildings gleamed like pebbles from a faraway beach.

pickBook one of the Twisted Tales Series. As a fan of Princess Jasmine (still not as much as Belle, my fellow book worm) this take on the classic story was original, while still keeping to the basic plot of the OG. A definite good start to the series. #ATwistedTaleSeries #PrincessJasmine #Aladdin #AWholeNewWorld
pickThis was a dark and twisted romance!
The story is basically an erotic dark romance retelling of Beauty and the Beast. As a retelling, it worked well. It followed the storyline and a lot of elements were present, including a protagonist who loves to read and a stunning library. The library was massive.

I haven‘t arranged my TBR shelves in any sort of organized way yet in my new house, so closing my eyes and grabbing something seems like a good plan 😆📚. Keeping #bookspin easy!
