Bryony and Roses Check out Bryony and Roses - <p>Bryony and her sisters have come down in the world. Their merchant father died trying to reclaim his fortune and left them to eke out a living in a village far from the...

Really enjoyed Bryony and Roses by @tkingfisher.com. A retelling of Beauty and the Beast, with lots of affectionate snark between the characters and a castle that was more haunted than enchanted.

Downloaded a cache of #BeautyandtheBeast retellings for an upcoming trip, including "Bryony and Roses" by @tkingfisher.com. But... will they (ok, I) wait patiently until departure time...

Do not underestimate the soft spoken, the kind, the gentle. It takes strength to be those things, sometimes more than you will ever know. If you look closely at someone who conducts themselves honorably, you will find something fierce inside.

Being a tourist definitely includes a stop at the library. I mean, right? Even, especially, when it's raining?

Blonde woman in black clothing stands in front of large red moon. Fevermoon title.

Big fan of the #FeverSeries overall, but... didn't love the graphic novel. It doesn't represent the characters well, I don't think.

I star in this new spooky dramatic podcast, Havoc Town. It's out today, get it wherever you download! Loved working with Jewel Staite, dream come true :) podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/h...

Fever's Barrons as the Beast in Beauty and the Beast (?) Is Jericho Barrons from Karen Marie Moning's Fever series a Beast retelling from Beauty and the Beast? Let's assess.

New post where I ramble about Mac's Jericho Z Barrons as not-a-Beast-retelling and being a good foil for her spazzy character development

Thanks, Karen Marie Moning, for a great character in the #Feverseries.

Hey, as a librarian I need to tell you:

Our funding depends on usage.

So go ahead and check out that book even if you don't think you'll finish it. No one will know. Check out that DVD even though you might not like it. Get ambitious in your quest for knowledge.
