I remember all the praise this book was getting a few years ago but still didn't expect to like it quite as much as I did. Usually, I need likable characters to like a book but I'm willing to call this a special exception. I didn't really like anyone or anyone they were pretending to be. But I did l...
I was a bit hesitant to give this one a star rating. While I can say "I liked this," and I enjoyed the writing style, once it was done, I felt I'd known a family for a couple of decades and knew that they had some family secrets that came out over time, had love and loss, forgiveness, etc., etc. L...
Quick review for a quick read. I'll admit that as a little girl, I was very taken by many fairy tales, particularly many of the stories that Hans Christian Andersen penned. I'll admit that "The Snow Queen" was one I remembered pieces of, but I couldn't remember all of the seven stories. Julia Whelan...
A fun YA Contemporary Fantasy that incorporates Fairy Tales without being a straight forward retelling. Elizabeth has just started working as a page at the New York Circulating Material Repository - a lending library of objects, contemporary and historical, common and obscure. And secret, too - f...
I didn't actually listen to the "audio CD," but the audiobook version I did listen to does not exist at Booklikes, and I am too tired to create a new edition. This is a shortie--the audio was only around 1:17 and change. The narrator was raised by a grifter and currently works as an aura-reading ...

BLUF: Great story with a poor ending.The premise of this book is pretty simple. Wife goes missing. Husband didn't do it. Police think he did. It's an irresistible storyline.Which is why you will keep reading even after you realize that the husband is a dope, the wife is likeable but socially ridicul...
Audiobook rating: 3.5 starsBook rating: 3 starsInitial thoughts: Well, Flat-Out Love was something. The resolution was twisted and yet I kinda expected it by the time I reached about a third of the book. Personally, I thought Matt was a disturbing character but in light of all that had happened, the...
When I was a child, the classic film adaptation of "The Snow Queen" was one of my absolute favorites. So, listening to this delightful audiobook allowed me to enjoy an old friend in a different way -- because, believe it or not, I had never read any of the seven tales that make up the saga.The narra...
Whaaaat just happened? Seriously, only Julia Whelan's talented narration could make this rambling, pointless, didactic story sound at all cohesive. It seems to be about how the steadfastness, honesty, and pure love of the little girl (Gerda) served her well for years in her quest to rescue her bes...
