“A strange imprisonment... Beauty has never liked her nickname. She is thin and awkward; it is her two sisters who are the beautiful ones. But what she lacks in looks, she can perhaps make up for in courage. When her father comes home with the tale of an enchanted castle in the forest and the terrible promise he had to make to the Beast who lives there, Beauty knows she must go to the castle, a prisoner of her own free will. Her father protests that he will not let her go, but she answers, "Cannot a Beast be tamed?" Robin McKinley's beloved telling illuminates the unusual love story of a most unlikely couple, Beauty and the Beast.” - Beauty: A Retelling of the Story of Beauty and the Beast by Robin McKinley . . . Hello, gorgeous book! This was gifted to me by my brother and his wonderful girlfriend for my birthday (which is tomorrow)! Such a wonderful gift! . . . (Also peep the Anna and the French Kiss special edition back there!

“I had received an answer to the question that Holmes had put to me. Now all I needed to know was why I had asked it.” ― Anthony Horowitz, The House of Silk . . . . I picked up House of Silk at my local bookstore Walls of Books, about 6 months ago. I had looked at it eery time I had gone in there, and finally decided it was time to purchase it one day! I haven’t read this yet, because my TBR list is ginormous, but I may finally get to it next year. I’m very grateful for local/used bookstores and I hope they never go away! . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #readgushnov20 Give thanks to favorite small shops #smallbusinesssaturday #enchantedbookchallenge Stroke Of Midnight - hyped book you did not like #bookstababesnov20 Always better together - fave duology #rfabnov20 Shelfie #readathinphotonov20 flowers #ampersandnov20 #stacksaturday https://www.instagram.com/p/CILptxcgE3B/?igshid=17htl5wbz5rce
