The Princess Spy (Fairy Tale Romance Series)


The Princess Spy 
By Melanie Dickson
(Fairy Tale Romance Series)
A new suitor. 
A shocking discovery.
  Here comes the fifth book! A great adaption of the Frog Prince. Actually, I'm not really familiar with this fairy tale story... I guest it's about a prince who was turn into a frog and asked a princess to kiss him? But I see little connection with this book...
  Margaretha has always been a romantic, and hopes her newest suitor, Lord Claybrook, is destined to be her one true love. But then an injured man is brought to Hagenheim Castle, claiming to be an English lord who was attacked by Claybrook and left for dead. And only Margaretha-one of the few who speaks his language-understands the wild story. Margaretha finds herself unable to pass Colin's message along to her father, the duke, and convinces herself Lord Colin is just an addled stranger. Then Colin retrieves an heirloom she lost in a well, and asks her to spy on Claybrook as repayment. Margaretha knows she could never be a spy-not only is she unable to keep anything secret, she's sure Colin is completely wrong about her potential betrothed. Though when Margaretha overhears Claybrook one day, she discovers her romantic notions may have been clouding her judgment about not only Colin but Claybrook as well. It is up to her to save her father and Hagenheim itself from Claybrook's wicked plot.
  Despite that I'm not familiar with the original fairy tale, this is quiet a good book. Margaretha is almost like a modern girl! She was dare to think things that perhaps it was forbidden in that period. Even she was the daughter of the duke, she didn't ack like she was a princess, commanding everything to be done, she was just as easy to be close to as normal people. I think The Princess Spy is the less connected title with the story cause the moment that Margaretha was a spy only take a few pages. The Princess Spy is actually a character made by Margaretha when she was tending an orphan. So don't be fooled by the title! She is dare, she is brave, but only a spy for few seconds!!!! The main story isn't about spying! Instead it's about great adventure between Colin and Margaretha! The plot is a bit mixed of The Fairest Beauty and The Captive Maiden, yet it also has a whole new story that will blow your mind! I believed this will be the last story about the Hagenheim family ( there'll be other book in this series, just the main character won't be in this family ) ( oh! And Colin also had connection with The Merchant's Daughter! A well unites story! Many character you seen before would appear again! ) So if you love than as much as I do, make sure to put this book in to-read list!
P.S I must shamefully admit that I was always finding Valten and Gisela when I read this book!!! (I love them so much!)

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     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.
