The Captive Maiden (Fairy Tale Romance Series)


The Captive Maiden
By Melanie Dickson
(Fairy Tale Romance Series)

Happily Ever After …
Or Happily Nevermore?
  Oh My God! I was extremely in love with this book!!! My first choice among the whole series is this one, and it's also the book make me in love with Melanie Dickerson's books.  So let's take a look at the beautiful Cinderella adaption story!
  Gisela’s childhood was filled with laughter and visits from nobles such as the duke and his young son. But since her father’s death, each day has been filled with nothing but servitude to her stepmother. So when Gisela learns the duke’s son, Valten—the boy she has daydreamed about for years—is throwing a ball in hopes of finding a wife, she vows to find a way to attend, even if it’s only for a taste of a life she’ll never have. To her surprise, she catches Valten’s eye. Though he is rough around the edges, Gisela finds Valten has completely captured her heart. But other forces are bent on keeping the two from falling further in love, putting Gisela in more danger than she ever imagined.
  This is the forth book of the series ( yeah I read it first, but there'll be no problem if you're afraid of cutting in the middle of the series. ) Like Snow White, I was never a fan of Cinderella ( I love every single Disney movie but both of them make me feel so boring! ) Yet when I read this book, it was just amazing! I was so indulged in the plot and loving every moment of it! The description of the book is just as lovely as the 2015 live-action Cinderella movie. ( I dislike the animation movie, but the live-action movie is so beautiful and romantic! I just hope I own a pair of glass slippers! ) Besides the enchanting scene, Gisela and Valten are my favorite couple! They're so cute! Gisela has a bunch of courage and she wasn't afraid when she faced trouble, she faced with bravely! And Valten...just make me swoon. ( Can I borrow him for a day...or forever?  ) both of them were more modern compare to The Healer's Apprentice and The Merchant's daughter, although there's a lot of God in this book ( just like the second book ). This book mixed romance and adventure ( better than The Fairest Beauty! ) wonderfully, I highly recommend this book! Loving it~

The Struggle to be an All-American Girl

The Struggle to be an All-American Girl      By Elizabeth Wong     I know, I’m horrible. But I’m not dead…I’m just lazy. So…before I finish my currently reading, I’ve decided to give you something short. A little reflection on what I thought on my school reading.     It's still there, the Chinese school on Yale Street where my brother and I used to go. Despite the new coat of paint and the high wire fence, the school I knew 10 years ago remains remarkably, stoically the same.     Every day at 5 P.M., instead of playing with our fourth and fifth grade friends or sneaking out to the empty lot to hunt ghosts and animal bones, my brother and I had to go to Chinese school. No amount of kicking, screaming, or pleading could dissuade my mother, who was solidly determined to have us learn the language or our heritage. Forcibly, she walked us the seven long, hilly blocks from our home to school, deposing our defiant tearful faces before the stern principal. My only me

October + September Book Haul + Pottermore Patronus + New Announcement

October + September Book Haul Pottermore Patronus New Announcement     I know that’s a lot…but sorry, I forget some other post than reviews are important too!!! I fail my book tag goal terribly these months…such a busy freshman. (Nonsense, I spent most of my time wandering around.) So! Let’s start with Pottermore Patronus!!!   I was so excited when I heard the announcement and I did the quiz immediately that day, without any hesitation. Really, immediately. And you know what? I love my Patronus!!! I know a lot of people out there hate their Patronus, since it might be a salmon…or something like that. But, there are also extremely wonderful Patronus, such as Griffins, or Phoenix. However, they’re also extremely rare as well. I think I also got a rare Patronus? At least that’s what Pottermore told me, unless it said it to everyone. Still, I wish everyone of you love your Patronus regardless how much you hate the animal, Patronus aren’t always what we think they are.
