My Favorite Book Review: The Ugly Stepsister

If you've ever read The Ugly Stepsister By Aya Ling, you should already know how great of a book it is! But if you haven't... well... you should read it, because you're missing out on a lot of greatness.
If you want to know about it, but you are too lazy to read (admit it, that's your reason!) then here's a summary.
Katherine rips an old copy of Cinderella, and she goes into the book as an ugly stepsister, Katriona. She learns that she has to get out of the book by fulfilling a happily ever after. She believes that this means she needs to get Elle (aka Cinderella) and Prince Edward together. But everything comes with problems, in this case, them being that the other stepsister is gorgeous, possibly even more than Elle. And even though the many attempts of Katherine were to get Elle and the Prince together, Elle ends up falling for the Prince's cousin and the prince falls for... Katherine. Katherine and Prince Edwards's marriage is the happily ever after the book needed, and Katherine is sent home with no memories of the book.
My problems with this book are very few. One, the author could've taken more time with what happens before Katherine falls into the book, and two, some of the character's actions were idiotic. Such as when the prince somehow figured out that the happily ever after wasn't with Cinderella, long before Katherine did. It's obvious Katherine wasn't thinking straight at all.
Other than these problems, The Ugly Stepsister was a great read, and the two books following it are great as well. I definitely recommend the series Unfinished Fairy Tales By Aya Ling.

Planner Reccomendation

Hello, everyone! You may not know this, but I use a planner to organize my daily life. It helps me keep track of my goals, dreams, wishes, and schedule, and I just started using this planner recently. It's not fancy, large, or expensive, and that's why I love it. It's called the bloom Planner, 2019. Here's the link on Amazon! https://smile.amazon.com/bloom-daily-planners-Calendar-Planner/dp/B07BL634W9/ref=pd_cp_229_4?pd_rd_w=6QLyR&pf_rd_p=ef4dc990-a9ca-4945-ae0b-f8d549198ed6&pf_rd_r=NC5G4JSE7RPTH2FNC9QQ&pd_rd_r=535deb06-27f7-11e9-bd58-413f05c8b3cb&pd_rd_wg=xSsut&pd_rd_i=B07BL634W9&psc=1&refRID=NC5G4JSE7RPTH2FNC9QQ Also, I recommend using an Amazon account to join Amazon Smile!

Excerpt from Novel-In-Progress

Hello, everyone!  I know I haven't posted anything in a few months, and it was because I was, honestly, too lazy to keep up with this.  But I've been busy, and I have an excerpt from my current novel-in-progress, which, as of right now, is titled Sleeping Thorn, though I am thinking about changing it. If you have any ideas for the title, please list it in the comments! This novel, a Sleeping Beauty retelling, is about an adolescent girl named Penelope, though she's constantly called Penny, that is a trained assassin. Right, when she decided she doesn't want to kill anyone else, her family makes a deal with her- if she did one last offer, they would let her do whatever she wants. However, she finds out this offer will take six months to accomplish-and her victim is going to be the Prince of the kingdom. The death they want for him is grueling; a paralyzing poison that makes the drinker look dead. They wanted the prince to be buried alive until he slowly dies. She ha...
