Snow Whyte and the Queen of Mayhem

Melissa Lemon, one of my all time favorite authors, is writing another book called Snow Whyte and the Queen of Mayhem! I am so excited! The book cover was just released and it comes out in October! I can't wait for October! Here is the book cover:



Is that so alluring or what? I absolutely love it! It just grabs your attention. If you haven't read her other book, Cinder and Ella, then you are missing out! It is so fantastic! Here is the cover and the synopsis:

When their father mysteriously disappears, Cinder and Ella struggle to care for their two spoiled sisters and a mother who barely knows them.  As Cinder submits to the abuse, Ella vows not to give in or give up on her beloved father.  The quest to find her father will demand everything—her strength, her tenacity, and even her heart.  Now it’s up to Ella to save herself, her family, and the entire kingdom.

Book Review

EdenbrookeSo my dad, my little sister and I went to Costco for grocery shopping and, of course, I took a detour to the books and I found this book that I have really wanted to read and after some haggling I got it. The book I got is called Edenbrooke by Julianne Donaldson. It was such a fantastic book! I finished it the day I got it and  I could not put it down! It reminded me of Pride and Prejudice a little bit, which I absolutely loved! Here is the synopsis:



Marianne Daventry will do anything to escape the boredom of Bath and the amorous attentions of an unwanted suitor. So when an invitation arrives from her twin sister, Cecily, to join her at a sprawling country estate, she jumps at the chance. Thinking she'll be able to relax and enjoy her beloved English countryside while her sister snags the handsome heir of Edenbrooke, Marianne finds that even the best laid plans can go awry.
From a terrifying run-in with a highwayman to a seemingly harmless flirtation, Marianne finds herself embroiled in an unexpected adventure filled with enough romance and intrigue to keep her mind racing. Will Marianne be able to rein in her traitorous heart, or will a mysterious stranger sweep her off her feet? Fate had something other than a relaxing summer in mind when it sent Marianne to Edenbrooke.

My Rating: 5 Stars

The Mark of Athena by Rick Riordan

The Mark of Athena (Heroes of Olympus Series #3) The cover for this book has finally be released! I am so excited for this book!!! October cannot come fast enough! Go Rick Riordan!

In The Son of Neptune, Percy, Hazel, and Frank met in Camp Jupiter, the Roman equivalent of Camp Halfblood, and traveled to the land beyond the gods to complete a dangerous quest. The third book in the Heroes of Olympus series will unite them with Jason, Piper, and Leo. But they number only six—who will complete the Prophecy of Seven?
The Greek and Roman demigods will have to cooperate in order to defeat the giants released by the Earth Mother, Gaea. Then they will have to sail together to the ancient land—Greece itself—to find the Doors of Death. What exactly are the Doors of Death? Much of the prophesy remains a mystery. . . .

Dinsey Villians

Disney Villains always have the funnest songs to sing in the movies so I decided to do a tribute to the Villains! Here are some of the songs that they sing:

Poor Unfortunate Souls from the Little Mermaid sung by Ursula

Friends on the Other Side from the Princess and the Frog sung by The Shadow Man

Gaston from Beauty and the Beast sung by Gaston

Cruella De Vil from 101 Dalmations sung by Cruella De Vil

Be Prepared from the Lion King sung by Scar

Mother Knows best from Tangled sung by Mother Gothel

Here are the lyrics to Mother Knows Best from the awesome movie Tangled:

You want to go outside? Why, Rapunzel...!
Look at you, as fragile as a flower
Still a little sapling, just a sprout
You know why we stay up in this tower


Rapunzel:
I know but...


Mother Gothel:
That's right, to keep you safe and sound, dear
Guess I always knew this day was coming
Knew that soon you'd want to leave the nest
Soon, but not yet


Rapunzel:
But --


Mother Gothel:
Shh!
Trust me, pet
Mother knows best
Mother knows best
Listen to your mother
It's a scary world out there
Mother knows best
One way or another
Something will go wrong, I swear
Ruffians, thugs
Poison ivy, quicksand
Cannibals and snakes
The plague


Rapunzel:
No!


Mother Gothel:
Yes!


Rapunzel:
But --


Mother Gothel:
Also large bugs
Men with pointy teeth, and
Stop, no more, you'll just upset me
Mother's right here
Mother will protect you
Darling, here's what I suggest
Skip the drama
Stay with mama
Mama knows best
Mother knows best
Take it from your mumsy
On your own, you won't survive
Sloppy, underdressed
Immature, clumsy
Please, they'll eat you up alive
Gullible, naÎve
Positively grubby
Ditzy and a bit, well, hmm vague
Plus, I believe
Gettin' kinda chubby
I'm just saying 'cause I wuv you
Mother understands
Mother's here to help you
All I have is one request
Rapunzel?


Rapunzel:
Yes?


Mother Gothel:
Don't ever ask to leave this tower again.


Rapunzel:
Yes, Mother.


Mother Gothel:
I love you very much, dear.


Rapunzel:
I love you more.


Mother Gothel:
I love you most.
Don't forget it
You'll regret it
Mother knows best
