However Corrie Ten Boom was a Christian woman who was involved in an underground effort in Holland to find safe places for persons of interest to the Nazi's. Not just jews but also young men who they take to put to work, people with a mental handicap, and more. She had a very specific and intricate system of coded communication with all the various people associated with the underground operations. Eventually her and her family was found out because of a mole associated with the gestapo. They were sent to a prison and then eventually ended up at a work camp. </p><p>Her story was so impressive and inspirational to me because of the faith that her and her sister had, despite the horrible conditions they were subjected to. She is such a remarkable woman who always looked to Christ in every situation she faced. Her faith was so strong that she was able to witness and be apart of some amazing miracles. To go through what she went through and not only keep her faith intact but also have it strengthened because of her circumstances. After the war, she went on to tell her story and help spread the message of love and hope through Jesus Christ. As well as set up foundations to help anyone affected by the war. I HIGHLY recommend reading this book.</p>Our Cornerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15404536738629381883noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2035557183415632299.post-30123423030363119592024-03-07T18:30:00.000-08:002024-03-07T18:30:42.395-08:00Eyewitness Auschwitz<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBgGtY8HAYwqgeSJ0-AI4xtuZDZ3aTaATZxRpZuOCdh5E82KfGEhpoNtL2VhMKCpZWqGBOCZ4uryf_idI1y5NV7pM12rRah5NiBgHWDUkycV39qabBqr-tNvrFTTVXG7HxpHYjM-tDQuPuYxTjWBjazpP7d4s6E4GzKGGnODcsK_wXBzvCNJ4GR4Vjlc3X/s500/51ARiELIQeL.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="500" data-original-width="500" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBgGtY8HAYwqgeSJ0-AI4xtuZDZ3aTaATZxRpZuOCdh5E82KfGEhpoNtL2VhMKCpZWqGBOCZ4uryf_idI1y5NV7pM12rRah5NiBgHWDUkycV39qabBqr-tNvrFTTVXG7HxpHYjM-tDQuPuYxTjWBjazpP7d4s6E4GzKGGnODcsK_wXBzvCNJ4GR4Vjlc3X/s320/51ARiELIQeL.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>Eyewitness Auschwitz By: Filip Muller<p></p><p>This was an interesting read right after reading the eyewitness account from Dr. Miklos Nyiszli. because of what i assumed was the close proximity of where the doctor was located in conjunction to the crematoriums of Auschwitz. I was curious to see if Filip Muller and the Dr had any contact or communication with each other. Filip never mentioned Dr. Nyiszli by name however there was a story that he told that could very well have been correspondence between the two. </p><p>I also found the "voice" or tone of the two books to be so startling different that it made me realize how the individual trauma and how its handled is so vastly different and for the lack of a better word individualized. While both eyewitness accounts are gruesome and horrifying, It seems that one of the survivors experienced caused such different scarring trauma that its harder to overcome than say the other survivor. This concept is something that should have been an easy thing for me to see; a "no brainer" if you will. But I think with the history of events surrounding the holocaust is sometimes lumped together as the events of the Jewish people during WWII. That often times the survival stories get lumped together as well and makes it feel as one big cohesive story rather than Individual people and their individual experiences that created these stories. </p><p>So a goal I'm setting for myself going forward reading these survivor stories. Is to look past the lumped up "generalized" story, to make sure I am hearing the voice of the individual person trying to express what they personally went through and witnessed. Not just the generalization of the slaughter that was the holocaust. </p>Our Cornerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15404536738629381883noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2035557183415632299.post-21791661993040735412024-02-06T22:48:00.000-08:002024-02-06T22:50:10.242-08:00Auschwitz: A Doctors Eyewitness Account<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj33CjvNfNFRU36bQaRm2Nbdc4wMWvuNJb4M-dkbVLiwFvkgGw9AzEqVJgquZ5eljpG1s-nAR9OVDVYwBm_sqz-i_lYOycwh4JGRuvKTHPnbNtcfOUw9p9dlcRgWht1SeoYfLc85wzosJ-g8GD6LHSXEKQUS3iko8DK6T0pPdKVRmJBHx73z6pfbDGE3MtO/s425/81E2cCFbl6L._SY425_.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="425" data-original-width="266" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj33CjvNfNFRU36bQaRm2Nbdc4wMWvuNJb4M-dkbVLiwFvkgGw9AzEqVJgquZ5eljpG1s-nAR9OVDVYwBm_sqz-i_lYOycwh4JGRuvKTHPnbNtcfOUw9p9dlcRgWht1SeoYfLc85wzosJ-g8GD6LHSXEKQUS3iko8DK6T0pPdKVRmJBHx73z6pfbDGE3MtO/s320/81E2cCFbl6L._SY425_.jpg" width="200" /></a></div><br /> Auschwitz: A Doctors Eyewitness Account By Dr. Miklos Nyiszli<p></p><p>I have been studying the holocaust for many many years and have read a lot of books written by survivors telling their stories. But I have never read a story quite like this one. Dr Miklos was a Hungarian jew that was sent to Auschwitz with his wife and 15 year old daughter. But instead of being sent to the gas chamber or to the work side of the camp. He was hand picked by the nefarious Dr. Mengele to work along side him at the crematoriums dissection room. His story is one that brings even more fresh new horrors to the Nazi atrocities that occurred during World War II. But as horrible and hard to read as these survivors stories are. It is important to read them, know their stories and remember these people as well as know what really happened. So in the future ,we may be able to do our best to prevent history repeating itself in such a gruesome and atrocious way. </p>Our Cornerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15404536738629381883noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2035557183415632299.post-26598752091501414872024-01-28T00:35:00.000-08:002024-01-28T00:35:41.000-08:00The Crown<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxv1-lJDCvUiREJoj8CFlJWvj44FbnCs3uuRQ4dFzqFSQPKTBY-YaAtv6tWdY-UwIpMXmlN9Nb0_hCMiwup39hkIz5Sy0mFGkfg7jVPV07yX5X1-eQ6BSFg1mQyaamKWYIwepwxVLiZV_nZdh-QrnmG8XFfgK2A19pe53qQPgpx3PAs6pj0Ezxj9TALgKY/s425/81Sfo9CgTjL._SY425_.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="425" data-original-width="282" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxv1-lJDCvUiREJoj8CFlJWvj44FbnCs3uuRQ4dFzqFSQPKTBY-YaAtv6tWdY-UwIpMXmlN9Nb0_hCMiwup39hkIz5Sy0mFGkfg7jVPV07yX5X1-eQ6BSFg1mQyaamKWYIwepwxVLiZV_nZdh-QrnmG8XFfgK2A19pe53qQPgpx3PAs6pj0Ezxj9TALgKY/s320/81Sfo9CgTjL._SY425_.jpg" width="212" /></a></div>The Crown By: Kiera Cass<p></p><p>This is the final book in the series and I have really enjoyed reading this whole series. This is one of the books that you feel as it gets closer and closer to the end. You are constantly wondering how in the world was everything going to be wrapped up with so little book left. Then the author does an amazing job at wrapping up everything in a pretty little bow.</p><p>This book had so many twits and turns and its funny because when something "came to light" it was like an oh yeah moment for me. Like a puzzle piece that's always been there but it was just hard to see the picture till you were finally able to set it in the right spot. then everything becomes clear. I know this review is a metaphor riddled catastrophe. But honestly this is the only way I feel I was able to express this book other than the simple, generic and boring, "It was great I really loved it". </p><p>This is a series that sometime in the future I could see myself thinking about again then realizing I couldn't remember some details and would want/have to revisit. SO i guess in a way you can say that this series has become a good friend and I cant wait to revisit this old friend again in the future.</p>Our Cornerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15404536738629381883noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2035557183415632299.post-80312817561541047752024-01-15T22:39:00.000-08:002024-01-19T22:48:25.447-08:00The Heir<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiO9yHyxe5EOwG9Rw1X_YEwPgINU5alYN3OKgpNwmZOmNX7KVUAfs-u6qpPpqt0Roq9g-8J0sTTPyuW4cHhDV8eDe1alNmet9yV2pZvylMHOMBermzrWe9XKhsZWOnArbfJEUHYPaqlkDrsrlwiKh-_WCCBIE063SrM97q0C450jf1VS9BSh791fYet2Dlu/s445/51+4GA9lSpL._SY445_SX342_.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="445" data-original-width="295" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiO9yHyxe5EOwG9Rw1X_YEwPgINU5alYN3OKgpNwmZOmNX7KVUAfs-u6qpPpqt0Roq9g-8J0sTTPyuW4cHhDV8eDe1alNmet9yV2pZvylMHOMBermzrWe9XKhsZWOnArbfJEUHYPaqlkDrsrlwiKh-_WCCBIE063SrM97q0C450jf1VS9BSh791fYet2Dlu/s320/51+4GA9lSpL._SY445_SX342_.jpg" width="212" /></a></div>The Heir By: Kiera Cass<p></p><p>I was excited to continue this series.

I am still loving this series. Its actually been a lot of fun to see Maxine and America all grown up, and to see the addition of their children into the series and their varying personalities.

It was so good and had so many new twists and turns. I was amazed to see the story lines of each character open up a little more. It had me routing for America and Maxon's relationship even more than I was before. Also I learned to love a certain character that up till now I didnt really like. The end of the book had me both very sad and very happy. This is all I am going to say so I dont give away any spoilers.</p>Our Cornerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15404536738629381883noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2035557183415632299.post-10149041794136352442023-11-22T20:55:00.000-08:002023-11-27T20:59:31.532-08:00The Elite<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEja4O7j1BAlC0G3qN88qLEqoiFjp5Q9JlRUe2B0KteSs54h0o7FsggtPexextlm_dvrOXrpTWRIgY1GebTssQ43WZnqsmf1mk63W74US9-5LYKRoxVhkaOeWokgB18sbagAxelpa3DoGWlb_JBF13g79TScuoUTwDmexVgHBs2PvkOmgC6BnFL7E0yMaMa-/s466/81VG1kAIXXL._SY466_.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="466" data-original-width="310" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEja4O7j1BAlC0G3qN88qLEqoiFjp5Q9JlRUe2B0KteSs54h0o7FsggtPexextlm_dvrOXrpTWRIgY1GebTssQ43WZnqsmf1mk63W74US9-5LYKRoxVhkaOeWokgB18sbagAxelpa3DoGWlb_JBF13g79TScuoUTwDmexVgHBs2PvkOmgC6BnFL7E0yMaMa-/s320/81VG1kAIXXL._SY466_.jpg" width="213" /></a></div>The Elite By: Kiera Cass<p></p><p>I am thoroughly enjoying this series.

I have had this series on my "to read" list but never really thought to seriously about it. However I have enjoyed it immensely. This book has given me nostalgia for both The Hunger Games series and the Lunar Chronicles series (Cinder and such). Its funny how it feel like both to me even though this book had a different story line. This was one of those "cant put it down" books that I have not had in awhile and it was very refreshing. I am super excited to start book 2 and to see what happens to the characters.</p>Our Cornerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15404536738629381883noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2035557183415632299.post-19372093146475156522023-10-29T18:31:00.004-07:002023-11-03T19:04:00.829-07:00Chernobyl The History of a Nuclear Catastrophe<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgY3NUjiWYR7FLery9vHglRRm2PRIYz008g0V61lb7r9oBKwa3NKDcXRwn_QyWbewlSj7zlhrtc-NjsVOi3n_5ZFZRIPWVA3uu44tFsNWjhcz9foP4DX9g4mOS3SWVpsDksY1QpIQl9JIOE-Fv0nX2Igesz6phdd3knM0T08SYQ8Ph7hY4KEVQrtKrqBW2Y/s1000/81LM3FSxtKL._AC_UF1000,1000_QL80_.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1000" data-original-width="674" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgY3NUjiWYR7FLery9vHglRRm2PRIYz008g0V61lb7r9oBKwa3NKDcXRwn_QyWbewlSj7zlhrtc-NjsVOi3n_5ZFZRIPWVA3uu44tFsNWjhcz9foP4DX9g4mOS3SWVpsDksY1QpIQl9JIOE-Fv0nX2Igesz6phdd3knM0T08SYQ8Ph7hY4KEVQrtKrqBW2Y/s320/81LM3FSxtKL._AC_UF1000,1000_QL80_.jpg" width="216" /></a></div><br /> Chernobyl The history of a nuclear catastrophe By: Serhii Plokhy<p></p><p>The events of Chernobyl and really everything about it has always intrigued me. So as soon as I found this book it intrigued me and I added it to my "to read" list. I really enjoyed learning about Chernobyl and the events surrounding it before, during and after. It was frustrating to see how much political interference and naivety surrounded the catastrophe which caused more harm than needed. In some cases it escalated the dangers to the surrounding area, people and potentially the world.</p><p>Overall I did enjoy the book from the historical stand point, it was very interesting. However it was also very frustrating to hear about how the catastrophe was handled both in the moment as well as afterwards. It was frustrating to see how the Russian nuclear leaders and government was more concerned about passing the blame so they don't get in trouble instead of trying to figure out the best way to handle the situation.</p>Our Cornerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15404536738629381883noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2035557183415632299.post-44006191487931000412023-10-05T23:10:00.006-07:002023-10-05T23:10:53.164-07:00Go The Distance<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiFX6eeURZ-rJCny2XO5cb_gVA5WpdJHJamLEymL6oRcgoiZFxoNIylMKpSmk34N9xvXyRSrmc5Tb0LzK-NjY-3Vcr65h7pw5m3HC4APyqBQcaplvDZQA9meFspmXFajvScLmdOVzIXly7ShShjhjMO4OvZdMHZWYp_aw_SyyxYh4bLZRwnT4RpN8Z8i7Fv" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="466" data-original-width="306" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiFX6eeURZ-rJCny2XO5cb_gVA5WpdJHJamLEymL6oRcgoiZFxoNIylMKpSmk34N9xvXyRSrmc5Tb0LzK-NjY-3Vcr65h7pw5m3HC4APyqBQcaplvDZQA9meFspmXFajvScLmdOVzIXly7ShShjhjMO4OvZdMHZWYp_aw_SyyxYh4bLZRwnT4RpN8Z8i7Fv" width="158" /></a></div>Go the Distance By Jan Calonita <p></p><p>I am seriously loving the twisted tales series. It gives such a new look on these beloved and classic Disney stories. Plus it adds new background stories to characters that normally wouldn't have their story told. This one was especially fun for me. All throughout later elementary, middle and high school I read any book I could get a hold of about Greek Mythology, so I know the stories well. So it was fun to read this and see one of those stories being played out. The story (or myth) of Hades and Persephone comes to light in this story which was neat to see yet a gain a different side being told of a already familiar story; or at least its familiar to me. </p><p>These books are so much fun and are a great read for anyone who enjoys Disney or just fantasy stories in gerneral.</p>Our Cornerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15404536738629381883noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2035557183415632299.post-55747900984634709432023-09-23T15:23:00.003-07:002023-09-23T15:23:36.185-07:0020,000 Leagues Under the Sea<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEi2XI9EM3x-DzuEGd2fZtcCwFdhieTbT2kQX2nNu7vD5fZtCCmRmFoKzDv3xvkzmX_bIvq5gC7WQ4o1VdDeB0XqXkY25zMkrEqjkcExupPflGXuNx0N-_Z3-sfcBFJhfDkA7WO_PqBVJoCEWE6S5U1b3IQi_Y87_fQnhBmG5HMLOiob1sach2hcKvW6GK5g" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="466" data-original-width="302" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEi2XI9EM3x-DzuEGd2fZtcCwFdhieTbT2kQX2nNu7vD5fZtCCmRmFoKzDv3xvkzmX_bIvq5gC7WQ4o1VdDeB0XqXkY25zMkrEqjkcExupPflGXuNx0N-_Z3-sfcBFJhfDkA7WO_PqBVJoCEWE6S5U1b3IQi_Y87_fQnhBmG5HMLOiob1sach2hcKvW6GK5g" width="156" /></a></div><br /> 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea By: Jules Verne<p></p><p>This is a classic that has been on my "to read" list for many years. My husband read this book and loved it and has been wanting me to read it for about 3 years now so that we can talk about it together. I finally decided now was the time and to not put it off any longer. :) Growing up hearing variances of the story and seeing snippets of various tv and movie adaptations I had an idea of what I could have possible be getting into. I was completely wrong. This book was nothing what I was expecting. Instead of an epic underwater sea monster and alien world battle. It was more of an academics point of view of the wonders of what lies under the sea. In a futuristic underwater vessel captained by a very complex and carnally driven man. I am very glad that I have finally checked it off of my classic list and can now add it to my shelf of books that I have read. But unlike classics such as The Scarlet Pimpernel, or Frankenstein. This is a classic book that I will probably not revisit. </p>Our Cornerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15404536738629381883noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2035557183415632299.post-5059823160619898632023-09-13T12:15:00.005-07:002023-09-13T12:15:54.546-07:00Picasso and the Painting that shocked the World<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiUF5rgcJzz_9OeN2PxaoJkUq_AUW6dH_phwkDFYq4NRDO89zuX2gnEUSb9dYSLDUHq9koPlqw4NPONJJ_0dVnsxKX5DmzRnj1MboKOYt87jrSBkXpZCyQTLBVwVIPEp2-jUX1YLuAgmKbLcIvLrkNBMx6Wwcbua8fD4RGwgYxkCoz_lN1YfapB0u7vNabX" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="1500" data-original-width="1000" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiUF5rgcJzz_9OeN2PxaoJkUq_AUW6dH_phwkDFYq4NRDO89zuX2gnEUSb9dYSLDUHq9koPlqw4NPONJJ_0dVnsxKX5DmzRnj1MboKOYt87jrSBkXpZCyQTLBVwVIPEp2-jUX1YLuAgmKbLcIvLrkNBMx6Wwcbua8fD4RGwgYxkCoz_lN1YfapB0u7vNabX" width="160" /></a></div>Picasso and the Painting that shocked the World By: Miles J Unger\<div><br /></div><div>I enjoyed learning more about Picasso and his life.

I am not sure if its due to the story and the change and growth of the characters and the introduction of new characters. Or if it was simply due to the way this story was told by Brendan Fraser. Seriously he is an EXCELLENT story teller. He brought so much life to the story and sometimes made me forget that I was listening to an audio book. If that makes sense. Honestly I'm a little worried and nervous about starting the 3rd and final book of the series since he isn't the one telling the story. I'm sure my curiosity about the characters and what happens to them will win out eventually. </p>Our Cornerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15404536738629381883noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2035557183415632299.post-48066202675736402912023-07-05T10:39:00.002-07:002023-07-05T10:39:49.764-07:00Unbirthday<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgh_I5K6ppkPQI-V1G7uJ8x0eNHjasW2Ww6T6mCL0o801waSfz0aSHRjbcEH5Jd_eLTlLB1jo3V5_QjATAgH66NOssEZyXyx-VJSFHRIegH8wZC95fONOGQZ5WYpi-IQTnSXJsZAqkohaZZXsIiUp5H-jdCtwsKx3A7KuRl56uQhAxA1XIPrh5HfwPkZD9A" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="499" data-original-width="331" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgh_I5K6ppkPQI-V1G7uJ8x0eNHjasW2Ww6T6mCL0o801waSfz0aSHRjbcEH5Jd_eLTlLB1jo3V5_QjATAgH66NOssEZyXyx-VJSFHRIegH8wZC95fONOGQZ5WYpi-IQTnSXJsZAqkohaZZXsIiUp5H-jdCtwsKx3A7KuRl56uQhAxA1XIPrh5HfwPkZD9A" width="159" /></a></div><br /> Unbirthday: A Twisted Tale By: Liz Braswell<p></p><p>Other than The Little Mermaid and Cinderella. Alice in Wonderland is also one of my all time favorites. So again this book did not disappoint thankfully. I enjoyed learning more and more about the characters in Wonderland as well as older Alice and her family/friends. There were hunts to the classic movie, mostly the way certain characters looked but other than that it was nothing compared to any movie I've seen. Keeping the Queen of Hearts as the villain; Alice has to save Wonderland from total destruction and from the wicked ruling of the Queen. With help from her friends in Wonderland and some unlikely help from England. Alice finds her courage and understanding that even in Wonderland all things are possible with the right perspective. </p>Our Cornerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15404536738629381883noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2035557183415632299.post-14481656864370835582023-06-15T22:24:00.005-07:002023-06-15T22:24:50.884-07:00So This is Love<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhbwbWmqWtf2vaSOZozgz1GACjVmCg9dquek1qIxOZkQHbqp4-CD3tjoe_iowOP4vBW-afLsy4-zP6j-Mi7CO_rw-v29XeCkbRWD7VdDSjayHkaQ5EZ9a1gEklnhP_k6KUtzLqiQzog8v-1gEuW__itY6DkLHIwPfpFnC9AAiQnba1Vp1TczVSqgPMLKw" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="499" data-original-width="334" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhbwbWmqWtf2vaSOZozgz1GACjVmCg9dquek1qIxOZkQHbqp4-CD3tjoe_iowOP4vBW-afLsy4-zP6j-Mi7CO_rw-v29XeCkbRWD7VdDSjayHkaQ5EZ9a1gEklnhP_k6KUtzLqiQzog8v-1gEuW__itY6DkLHIwPfpFnC9AAiQnba1Vp1TczVSqgPMLKw" width="161" /></a></div> So This is love: A Twisted Tale By Elizabeth Lim<br /><p></p><p>I may have mentioned this when I was doing my review for "Part of Your World". The Little Mermaid and Cinderella were my two all time favorite movies as a kid. They still hold a very special place in my heart. So I was a little leery when I started this book due to that childhood love, but soon realized that I had nothing to worry about. The story had a lot of similarities with the movie at the beginning but that's pretty much where that stopped. Occasionally a line would be said that made me think of the movie. But the whole story from start of finish had me wanting more. The character development was remarkable, not only do you get an in-depth look at Cinderella, Prince Charles, The Grand Duke and even the king a little. But new characters were introduced as well so seamlessly that it felt like they were always there in the first place. </p><p>For anyone who like me loved Cinderella as a child and still. This is a definite must read.</p>Our Cornerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15404536738629381883noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2035557183415632299.post-12843300488276848942023-06-04T23:15:00.003-07:002023-06-04T23:15:21.404-07:00Straight on Till Morning<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEj3P9LSvKhMMrH5-DzpEb97or47Ay3C7KOe2M3ONqHoCPDxBGFTxrL0DYd5gcqZzu9nAZ1rPdsNJsxyp0axDWHljdCJTdAerSalMABM0-MJauMoD27lE2jbobOpZQEjuvNE1mK25j_kaZv7Cs251jyUApo2NuwhalSlD82NBULzsV7DWqgVGt0kqVm-LA" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="499" data-original-width="330" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEj3P9LSvKhMMrH5-DzpEb97or47Ay3C7KOe2M3ONqHoCPDxBGFTxrL0DYd5gcqZzu9nAZ1rPdsNJsxyp0axDWHljdCJTdAerSalMABM0-MJauMoD27lE2jbobOpZQEjuvNE1mK25j_kaZv7Cs251jyUApo2NuwhalSlD82NBULzsV7DWqgVGt0kqVm-LA" width="159" /></a></div><br /> Straight on Till Morning: A Twisted Tale By: Liz Braswell<p></p><p>This was not your typical "Peter Pan" story. This was all about Wendy and even Tinkerbell to some degree. I really enjoyed this "twisted" version and different take on Neverland, Peter Pan, Wendy, Captain Hook, and more. I also enjoyed the new characters introduced as well. Myself like most people grew up on the classic peter pan tale through books, movies both animated and live, tv shows, plays, and more. Almost every time it seemed in part the same type of story just worded differently in a way. This was a new take on the classic fairytale and all from the view point of Wendy. I really enjoyed seeing her character progression as well as Tinkerbell and their relationship together. This may just be one of these stories I revisit again in the future.</p>Our Cornerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15404536738629381883noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2035557183415632299.post-4312991747369574132023-05-13T04:11:00.001-07:002023-05-14T04:15:44.184-07:00Conceal Dont Feel<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgp_Wv4Fl3p9bXSPfbCT3rhGBFTRpdIkFcce6ZT7_tbob4Dinq1A6wN33mIZSCtEuxmQQXg1WymUyX8CveunCnAsJiGPCAUjkJqzqy1qd4vW70jsR9l9J-omIIoW4gMProwu3jKzzcaOfp3Ya_khHNY3lpjzidJ-f-JPDl5OVKAjFlrMUywK3sybV1DLA" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="346" data-original-width="230" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgp_Wv4Fl3p9bXSPfbCT3rhGBFTRpdIkFcce6ZT7_tbob4Dinq1A6wN33mIZSCtEuxmQQXg1WymUyX8CveunCnAsJiGPCAUjkJqzqy1qd4vW70jsR9l9J-omIIoW4gMProwu3jKzzcaOfp3Ya_khHNY3lpjzidJ-f-JPDl5OVKAjFlrMUywK3sybV1DLA" width="160" /></a></div>Conceal, Dont Feel A Twisted Tale By: Jen Calonita<p></p><p><br /></p><p>Despite the twist of Ana and Elsa needing to be separated after Elsa hit her with her magic by accident and a few other additions and changes.

I especially loved this one, the beginning is similar to the Disney movie so it's like greeting a childhood friend that you haven't seen in awhile. But then it goes off into a whole new story but continues to keep little sayings or flashbacks to bring the movie back in. I love the way Elizabeth builds upon the character of Mulan and Captain Lee Shang. I enjoyed learning about the Captain's backstory and family. Overall a really great book and I am excited to move onto the next in the series.</p>Our Cornerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15404536738629381883noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2035557183415632299.post-28695537303076117922023-03-17T01:41:00.003-07:002023-03-17T01:41:31.423-07:00As Old as Time<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEihyEVC5NWtR3XFbF8E-iQQTt4LMYiYnM0MXgKq5ofVsPah0wGhN1v-dnm7WbGjpuUVsEY1quq3YuvXJYV1d4_HYjfDS8yOE8MVPtiooa5eOyYxydyPNDGAiv3ikHJYmOSf9V1FsuaB-zmx3cL9pDg1uVNW6wMHK1o8WfGuddLN8SfXhUSpqljgD48OQQ" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="499" data-original-width="346" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEihyEVC5NWtR3XFbF8E-iQQTt4LMYiYnM0MXgKq5ofVsPah0wGhN1v-dnm7WbGjpuUVsEY1quq3YuvXJYV1d4_HYjfDS8yOE8MVPtiooa5eOyYxydyPNDGAiv3ikHJYmOSf9V1FsuaB-zmx3cL9pDg1uVNW6wMHK1o8WfGuddLN8SfXhUSpqljgD48OQQ" width="166" /></a></div><br /> As Old As Time A twisted tale BY: Liz Braswell<p></p><p>I am seriously in love with these Twisted Tales series.

But I learned a lot and I am glad I took this class.<br /> </p>Our Cornerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15404536738629381883noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2035557183415632299.post-18960046070312008162023-02-25T12:43:00.006-08:002023-02-25T12:46:07.542-08:00Charlie and the Chocolate Factory<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgNLLM04gVqpb2PCtFi9Dh6jH2USi_6AABAJQyYVNvEAUJ5XvPg4jSYEKQlx5c509jTgbG-qdcarQmfYV4JhpvIoVqNAiOzgIy2VspMezm_iGOGQhCP9xSlbU8VZimSJUA1lRZmFx0uuhAK9IUCYS8VV3AMrZtD1BKXCm6pkAl5LU6f_6TClZQmCQ5SuA" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="499" data-original-width="327" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgNLLM04gVqpb2PCtFi9Dh6jH2USi_6AABAJQyYVNvEAUJ5XvPg4jSYEKQlx5c509jTgbG-qdcarQmfYV4JhpvIoVqNAiOzgIy2VspMezm_iGOGQhCP9xSlbU8VZimSJUA1lRZmFx0uuhAK9IUCYS8VV3AMrZtD1BKXCm6pkAl5LU6f_6TClZQmCQ5SuA" width="157" /></a></div><br /> Charlie and the Chocolate Factory By: Roald Dahl<p></p><p>This book was so much fun an such a cute read. It made me laugh out loud quite a few times. Usually books like this I have a hard time separating from the movies to get into the actual book. But I was able to get into the book and "see" the chocolate factory in my minds eye. I enjoyed this book so much I told my husband, kids and mother that this is a must read. </p><p>Not only do I highly recommend this to anyone who likes to read but this should be on everyone's Must Read!!</p>Our Cornerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15404536738629381883noreply@blogger.com0
