Books 8 and 9

BOOK #8
After seeing The Hunger Games I just couldn't help myself!! I had just started reading another book but gave it up so I could re-read one of my favorite books!! I've said it before and I'll say it again, READ THIS BOOK!!! I didn't put a synopsis of what the books about only because I'm sure everyone knows what it's about by now!! I know that plot line sounds kind of crazy...... kids, forced to kill other kids...... but ot really is a good book!!! READ IT!!

BOOK #9
Returning home from the war, young Galen finds work with his mother’s family in the royal gardens. There he learns that the king’s twelve daughters have a secret: every night they dance their shoes to tatters, but no one knows how or why. When prince after prince tries and fails to find the answer, and the family is haunted by accusations of witchcraft, Galen decides to help. Armed with a pair of silver knitting needles and an invisibility cloak given to him by a strange old woman, he follows the princesses and unlocks the secret of their curse.

You should know by now that I love a good fairy tale!! This story is a retelling of The Twelve Dancing Princesses. Unlike a few fairy tale re-tellings that I read last year, I really liked this one!! There is a sequel to this book called Princess of Glass and I am excited to read that one!! I love it when everyone lives happily ever after!!
