The Mother Goose Diaries (Adventures from the Land of Stories)The Mother Goose Diaries

Mother Goose has had many adventures over the past 500 years. Now that everybody after her is dying out, she's finally publishing her diary. From the time she was just a kid to when she was marching in the Pride Day Parade, this book is full of Mother Goose's thrilling journeys.

The Mother Goose Diaries was full of wisecrack jokes and snarky humor. I loved it! We get to follow Mother Goose as she tampers with history. This was my second time reading the book and I loved it just as much as the first. Mother Goose never ceases to make me laugh out loud.

Queen Red Riding Hood's Guide to Royalty

Fans of The Land of Stories already know who Queen Red Riding Hood is. For those of you who don't, she's the first queen of the Red Riding Hood Kingdom. In this book, she shares the secrets to running a successful kingdom. She gives guidelines such as the royal APP and hilarious rules such as "peasants are like pets."

The book was narrated by Red. You can be sure that there was no shortage of content in the humor department! This was my third time reading Queen Red Riding Hoods Guide to Royalty and every time, I find something new to enjoy.

Both books I talked about today were companions to The Land of Stories series by Chris Colfer. Chris did such an amazing job on these books. Both were full of humor and were undoubtedly some of the funniest books I've ever read.

 I got so many new books this month I'm excited to read! About half of the books I got were graphic novels because I've been in a bit of a reading slump lately.

Page Count: 250 pages (Hardcover) Published: August 18, 2009 My Rating: 4 stars Series: Villians book 1 Genre: Fantasy   While she may seem like a jealous queen after a young girl's beauty, she is so much more. They may have been logic and heartache behind the Queen's attempts on the sweet girl's life. The Queen struggles with her looks and the trauma from her childhood helps her accept the fact that she must become the fairest of them all.    This is definitely my favorite version of Snow White! From the Queen's early days as a child to her last moments, Serena Valentino took this seemingly innocent fairy tale and turned it into something dark and twisted. This is by far the most heartbreaking story of Snow White ever. At the same time, this book has enough plot twists to keep any reader entertained. You'll never believe who the magic mirror really is!      Even though Snow White has never been my favorite, this is definitely a book I would be willi
