It has been a while since I have last posted, has it not? Well after finishing Candide I read Something Rotten by Alan Gratz. It was alright - It was a mystery and I am not a huge mystery fan. It was Shakespeare themed though, so that was cool; it was what made me pick it up in the first place. So that took my a while to get through, and then I didn't/don't really have anything to say about it, so no blog. Then I read American God's by Neil Gaiman, and it was a fairly long book, though it was pretty good, so that took a while.



The book I read after that is the book that I will review today- My Fair Godmother by Janette Rallison. After Savannah's older sister steals her boyfriend, Savannah is given three wishes by her "fair" godmother (Chrissy, the godmother, hadn't done well enough in school to be consider a "fairy" godmother, just a "fair" one). Chrissy misinterpets Savannah's wishes and sends her back into medival times as Cinderella, and Snow White, and it is not as nice as the fairy tales make it sound. A boy from Savannah's school gets sent back to the medieval age by Chrissy and Savannah as to help him so they can both get home. It was a very cute book, with a very easy to get into kind of style of story telling. I liked the characters, and how you got to see the boyfriend stealing from the perspective of both sisters which gave the characters a more rounded feeling. The story had good pacing, and a interesting plot. I liked it very much, and will look for other books by Janette Rallison. Oh! And I discovered this book from the blog of one of my favorite authors, Shannon Hale! Here is a link to the interview she did with Janette Rallison!




Now I think I am going to go indulge in my current obsession, Buffy the Vampire Slayer. I bought the Chosen collection over ebay a few weeks ago, and I am already into season 5. Spike is my favorite =). And I will just leave it at that or I will be drooling all over the keyboard...
