It's always great to get to know folks with similar interests. :)<br /><br />I've heard of "Rose Daughter" but haven't ever read it. I probably should break down and do so...I just loved "Beauty" so much that I was hesitant to read another retelling by the same author. Yeah, I know...I'm a little weird. ;)Hannah Prewett (beastsbelle)https://www.blogger.com/profile/15635091328769986946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7646962372158228871.post-34425522973319155052013-10-03T01:34:59.430-07:002013-10-03T01:34:59.430-07:00Hi there, I found your blog a few days ago and am ...Hi there, I found your blog a few days ago and am LOVING it :) Just wanted to add - in case you didn't know - that McKinley did another retelling called "Rose Daughter" (1997) - I think you might like that one even more ;)<br />KrissyLouhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17545762230632153995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7646962372158228871.post-26157095638627208272012-08-02T09:43:31.735-07:002012-08-02T09:43:31.735-07:00You're welcome...I hope you enjoy them! :)You're welcome...I hope you enjoy them! :)Hannah Prewett (beastsbelle)https://www.blogger.com/profile/15635091328769986946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7646962372158228871.post-69318128836306062022012-08-01T21:39:55.789-07:002012-08-01T21:39:55.789-07:00I had heard you mention Beauty a couple of times, ...I had heard you mention Beauty a couple of times, and now I'll have to see if my library has it - I'm a sucker for a good Beauty and the Beast story! :)<br /><br />And I've never seen "Penelope", but I do love Reese Witherspoon and I remember hearing about it multiple times from a few friends. I'll have to check it out. :)<br /><br />As a quick addendum, I'll say the one thing I HAVE read from this list is Beastly. I liked the book so much more than the movie...the movie was very forgettable, in my opinion. I did like the book though, even if I did think they could have left out a couple of points here and there.<br /><br />All in all, I think I'll have to check out "Penelope" and Beauty - thanks for the recommendations! :)Clairehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18103733708909437765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7646962372158228871.post-17848589241033831212012-08-01T16:26:51.613-07:002012-08-01T16:26:51.613-07:00Thanks, All AG.

Just think about the questions you've always had about your favorite fairy tale, and then try to answer them. ;)<br /><br />Sounds like you found some great library books! :) I'm thinking of checking mine for a few fairy tale stories, too. :)Hannah Prewett (beastsbelle)https://www.blogger.com/profile/15635091328769986946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7646962372158228871.post-62230461118601641942012-08-01T13:11:00.891-07:002012-08-01T13:11:00.891-07:00You pictures are so beautiful!

I LOVE the illustrations! Yes, the tapestries in the background are such a beautiful, extra touch. Oh, I forgot how much I loved the illustrations! So, so beautiful. I really must get a copy of this book at some point.<br />Thank you so much for sharing!Tashahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05803389006953062232noreply@blogger.com
