► The Other Bolyn Girl

By Phillipa Gregory. Been waiting a long time to get my hands on this. I have already seen the movie, but I am still interested to read the book. I love this time era and especially the stories surrounding King Henry the 8th.

► The Last Wife of King Henry the VIII

By Carolly Erickson. Just like The Other Bolyn Girl it’s this same era and another telling of the story. Found out about this book about a week or two ago. I had entered a giveaway for it but didn’t win. The book souded interesting and I happened to find it yesterday. Happy I did.

► Complete Grimm’s Fairy Tales

Another book I’ve been thinking about recently. Finally found it at an independent bookstore. Which is where I got all three of these books by the way. I do plan on reading all of these fairy tales maybe I will do tiny reviews on the individual fairy tales. Who knows. Excited for all of the books I’ve gotten recently.

► Sisters Red

By Jackson Pierce. A retelling of Red Riding Hood. I am excited for this book and have been waiting to get my hands on it for a long, long time. I received this book from someone in Guam via Paperbackswap.
