My Lady Jane by Cynthia Hand, Brodi Ashton, & Jodi Meadows

-

Lady Jane Grey didn't plan to get married. But she does anyway. Edward knows he's dying so he arranges to marry Jane off to Gifford (but he likes to be called G) so he can have an heir. Jane and G aren't thrilled at first. And Janes is even less thrilled when she finds out that G is an Eðian. G turns into a horse every morning at sunrise. It isn't long before Edward, Jane, and G find themselves in the middle of a conspiracy that will change England forever.

This is by far the best historical fiction series there is. Though it's not historically accurate, this is definitely my favorite version of the Tudors. My Lady Jane is a silly retelling of Lady Jane Grey's brief reign. It was surprising that the authors were able to turn such a tragic moment in history into one of the best comedies I've ever read. Considering the time period, I loved how stubborn and feisty the female characters were.

The characters were so well developed. Each had their own distinct voice. I loved getting to read about them!

Jane and G were such a cute couple and Edward had a romance of his own going on. I don't remember who exactly read the audiobook but it sounded like she was made for it. I 100% recommend this book to everyone. 

This book was hilarious! I was laughing the entire time I was reading this book! Even the dedication was funny.

This story was written incredibly well considering the three POVs were all written by different authors. I also love how this book broke the fourth wall more than once.

I love this entire series! Each book is funnier than the last! I can't wait to read the Lady Janies latest book, My Contrary Mary. I think the covers for this series fit the books perfectly. They fit the mood of the book so well!

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!

Bloom by Kevin Panetta

 Ari can't wait to move to Baltimore with his friends. He wants nothing more than to get out of his small seaside town. If only his dad would let him quit his job at the family bakery. While interviewing possible candidates, Ari meets Hector, an easy-going guy who loves baking. As the two work together in the bakery, love starts to bloom. Bloom was an adorable graphic novel. Also, the art in this graphic novel was great! If you looking for two soft boys falling in love, look no farther than Bloom.  Ari absolutely stole my heart away! He was so cute. Ari and Hector were made for each other. They had such a cute, fluffy romance. Both of the main characters were flawed in a way that was... different from other books. Does that make sense? I liked that they never really "fixed" their flaws. They embraced what was wrong with each other. Apart, Hector and Ari were complete messes. Together though, they seemed to complete each other while highlighting their faults. The first hal
