The Goose Girl by Shannon Hale is next on the readers list on the BBCE! I usually wait to post on the book until after the book club meeting but I don't want to wait! I just finished it today and I love it. It was a hard start...it took me a chapter to get used to her style of writing and use of words, but it's that very thing that adds a bit of 'magic' to the whole book. It's so descriptive in the most odd ways. I find it fascinating. Also, it can move slow at times but if you bunker down and keep going, it gets so very interesting. It's the first of a series of four called The Books of Bayern. And, fun fact fer ya, the Goose Girl is actually a German fairy-tale collected by the Brothers Grimm...from what I can tell it goes right along with that fairy tale. Fun fact #2, Shannon Hale lives right here in Utah! South Jordan to be exact and she is LDS, attended the U and did I mention she is right in our backyard?? Figuratively speaking? I can't wait to acquire the rest of the books!
We love her books too here in the Edmunds home. Nadine has all of the young adult series books (bet she'd loan you one). She's a bit peeved that the covers now have real life gals because now here books' styles don't match. She's in therapy. ;-)
