Recent Read: Once on a Time by A. A. Milne

If you only think of Winnie the Pooh when you hear A. A. Milne's name, you are missing out! We read some of his essays in one of my creative non-fiction classes, and I just ran across this book. It is ridiculous and pure fun. I LOVED how and who the princess marries in the end.

Recent Read: Just Ella by Margaret Peterson Haddox

Okay, I will admit that fairytale spin-offs are one of my little quirky reading pleasures, but I really like this one. The whole idea is what would happen if Cinderella really didn't want to marry the prince after all? I think rewritten fairy tales are so much fun!

I love how Haddox just picks a good stopping point and ends the book. We know they're going to live happily ever after--why drag it out? It's really fun how she starts and ends this novel in the middle of things, which keeps a retelling very lively.
