I may have spent way too much time absorbed into fairy tales and what not. I love fairy tales. I love reimagined fairy tales. Okay, I simply adore reading in general. A while back I purchased a Princess and the pea retelling - The Princess Companion . This was shortly after the second book in the series was released, but as much as I enjoyed the first book I couldn't bring myself to buy the second. The Princess Fugitive - Book 2 - is a Little Red Riding Hood reimagining and it never was my favorite tale. However, Cellier's twist made me wish I had picked it up sooner.

So then I was faced with the daunting task of piecing everything together exactly the way it needed. There was also the fact that I was faced with continuity issues with some of the characters names. Last night I finished The Bookworm Next Door. It has all of the short stories combined. It has new material. It has a never before seen ending that only I knew was going to happen.
