Most people will here this title and think its some girly girl meg cabot like book. I also thought it was some princess fairy tale. But then i read it, and this book was nothing like i imagined it would be, but it was so sweet and perfect and i absolutely loved it.

First published on: Books for YABefore I can give my review, I would like to confess that I have never read nor heard the fairytale, the Goose Girl of the Grimm Brothers so I don't have any idea whatsoever about the difference of this book to the original. Which I think, it wouldn't matter but I fee...

I will never be able to thank the friend who introduced me to Shannon Hale three years ago deeply enough. At first I thought titles like “Goose Girl” and “Princess Academy” sounded stupid, and brushed off any attempts to get me to read either. Then one day I was at the library and decided I would fi...

I really should thank the person who told me I ought to give the Books of Bayern a go -- if only I could remember who that was!

So I just reread this book. Guess what?It's just as awesome as before, maybe even more so. ^____^I love the way that Shannon Hale writes and how she describes everything and makes it all seem really pretty but really real at the same time. Although in the interview at the back of the book, I have to...

I did not enjoy this book at all after re reading it.I understand it's meant for a younger demographic, but you can still find children's stories that bring a smile to your face while reading it. Doesn't the same apply to YA books?Its about a girl, who is a little odd, and a princess. Her mother ber...

This review is also available on my blog, Stumptown Books.Now that the days are dark and dreary, I feel like reading fairy tales, the ultimate comfort food. The Goose Girl shows up on a couple "best fairy tale retelling" lists, so I went and grabbed it. The quote on the cover from Stephanie Meyer ...

… And they lived happily ever after, *le sigh.* Reading Goose Girl is a breath of fresh air especially after the types of books I’ve been reading lately. It did take me a while to warm up to Ani. She was an absofreakinglute doormat…even the geese bruised her up! I could not get my mind around how pi...
