My Fair Godmother Book Review 4 out of 5 stars****

Hey everyone, I hope you guys are having a fantastic Saturday night! :) I haven't been able to do a review in a while so I am glad I can do this one. Hooray!!
Alright lets get down to business folks.

Book: My Fair Godmother
Author: Janette Rallison
Published January 6th 2009 by Walker Books for Young Readers 
 
Synopsis: 
After her boyfriend dumps her for her older sister, sophomore Savannah Delano wishes she could find a true prince to take her to the prom. Enter Chrissy (Chrysanthemum) Everstar: Savannah’s gum-chewing, cell phone–carrying, high heel-wearing Fair Godmother. Showing why she’s only Fair—because she’s not a very good fairy student—Chrissy mistakenly sends Savannah back in time to the Middle Ages, first as Cinderella, then as Snow White. Finally she sends Tristan, a boy in Savannah’s class, back instead to turn him into her prom-worthy prince. When Savannah returns to the Middle Ages to save Tristan, they must team up to defeat a troll, a dragon, and the mysterious and undeniably sexy Black Knight. Laughs abound in this clever fairy tale twist from a master of romantic comedy.

My Thoughts: 

I thought this book was delightful. It was a fast-paced read that kept me laughing and turning the pages until the very end. I was very surprised that I enjoyed it so much because I randomly picked it up in the library. This modern day fairy tale has a mix of Cinderella and Snow White incorporated into it with a twist. I've never read any books with fairy godmothers ( or should I say fair godmothers) before but after reading this I may need to find more. haha Anyways if you're looking for a fun read, I highly suggest giving this one a try.

-Well that's all for now. Bye everyone!

waiting on wednesday :)

Hey everyone Happy Wednesday! :)

"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Jill atBreaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating. 

This week I am waiting on:
-Book: The Mephisto Covenant 
-Author:Trinity Faegen
-Pgs:400
-Release Date: Sept. 27, 2011


Synopsis:

Sasha is desperate to find out who murdered her father. When getting the answer means pledging her soul to Eryx, she unlocks a secret that puts her in grave danger—Sasha is Anabo, a daughter of Eve, and Eryx’s biggest threat.

A son of Hell, immortal, and bound to Earth forever, Jax looks
for redemption in the Mephisto Covenant—God’s promise he will find
peace in the love of an Anabo. After a thousand years, he’s finally found the girl he’s been searching for: Sasha.

With the threat of Eryx looming, Jax has to keep Sasha safe and
win her over. But can he? Will Sasha love him and give up her mortal life



My thoughts: This book kinda reminds me of The Goddess Test? Idk they sounds kind of similar, maybe it's because of the mythology incorporated in it, but I love mythology so I will definitely give this a go. Plus the cover looks beautiful!
