Three-word review: magical, humorous and engaging.Įnchanted is a magical blend of familiar fairy tales from Rapunzel to Jack and the Beanstalk. Carrying around my smartphone with earbuds as I cleaned and cooked was fun and I am so glad this particular book was my first. Thanks to Sync I was able to enjoy this for free. How can she feel such a strange, strong attraction for this prince she barely knows? And what twisted secrets lie hidden in his past-and hers?Įnchanted by Alethea Kontis is the first book in the Woodcutter Sisters series, and was my first audiobook experience. ![]() The prince returns to his castle, intent on making Sunday fall in love with him as the man he is, not the frog he was.

Sunday’s only comfort is writing stories, although what she writes has a terrible tendency to come true. ![]() It isn’t easy being the rather overlooked and unhappy youngest sibling to sisters named for the other six days of the week. ![]() ![]() It made me want to slap it him, but overall he was a cool character. He had a great sense of humor and listened to Jewel like a good friend, but at times he was too disrespectful of Jewel's house and its rules. It took me a while to warm to the "mysterious boy" - John. Normally, a character in this situation can come across as bratty, but I totally sympathized with Jewel and really didn't like her parents all that much - especially her mom. She tries to do everything her parents ask of her, including never talking about what happened to her brother, and they constantly ignore her and never listen to what she needs or wants. I love the blue-purple color and the watercolor style of it.Ĭharacters: Jewel was easy to emotionally connect with. Intrigue-level aside, it is aesthetically pleasing. And that's what really caught my attention. ![]() But I do have a thing for silhouettes, and once I saw the silhouette I decided to read the synopsis. Cover Blurb: Yes or No?

Each is both a single citizen, and all citizens, interweaving. It’s a collage of colliding events, fragments, vignettes, and streams of consciousness that blend poetry, prose, movement, sound, music, and video images. Wanting to stay true to Rankine’s avoidance of a coherently straightforward narrative, Sachs laid out the framework he followed for his adaptation: “My stage adaptation of Citizen is not a play,” Sachs admitted. In an interview with Graywolf Press, publishers of Citizen, Sachs discussed just what appealed to him about the book and how he worked to transform it for the world of stage. ![]() If winning the National Book Critics Circle Award for poetry and being a finalist for the very same award for criticism didn’t convince you that Claudia Rankine’s Citizen: An American Lyric was as much 2014’s book of the year as a form-smashing modern classic, then let Stephen Sachs’s dramatic adaptation of last year’s multidisciplinary ethos of poetry, photography, and searing political commentary turn you the right way.Ĭo-founding and creatively developing Los Angeles’ Fountain Theatre into one of LA’s most notable theatre companies, Stephen Sachs had already been looking for a way to work with the public outrage surrounding Michael Brown’s shooting at the hands of law enforcement in Ferguson, Missouri before Rankine’s opus even hit bookstores. ![]() ![]() ![]() " Great book! Wonderful for geography and history. Take a journey around the world from your Kindle! " - Kim, " True classic! Well written, entertaining, with many plot twists. Short, easy to read, I recommend it to fans of classics. While it's a little mild compared to some of today's thrillers, you can imagine how it was pretty ground breaking stuff in the late nineteenth century.

Not as much seeing the world as I would have liked but a fun period book. " Wasn't sure if I could make through phrases such 'crusty Jew' but found myself getting sucked into the adventure :) read it with view to reading to class, but the language/references to opium might not be too suitable. It also goes to show in the end.even the simplest things compound the wise. ![]() Interesting to see all the different ways he travels around the world.
