I mean, 1920s London + fairy tales + characters in their 20s + BEAUTY AND THE BEAST . . . excuse me while I go hunt down a copy.<br /><br />And I'm with you on audiobooks. They just about put me to sleep. But a short, fun book read in a British accent? I might be able to handle that. :)<br /><br />Serena | <a href="http://poetreeandbooks.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">poetree</a><br />serenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06375307816652807841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4139091376044743904.post-34937162813997019492017-08-30T08:59:18.258-05:002017-08-30T08:59:18.258-05:00I'm sure I will!

(I saw a review of <i>Tomb of the Sea Witch</i> by "Kyle" on Goodreads, and it was hilarious!) <br /><br />And if by crossovers you mean retellings-of-fairytales-in-which-everyone-gets-in-each-other's-stories, I am a big fan. (If by crossovers you instead mean finding Fury in Agents of Shield and Green Arrow in the Flash, and/or fan-made crossovers of Sherlock/Hobbit etc, I am <i>also</i> a big fan.) Basically, give me all the crossovers?<br /> <a href="https://jemjoneswriter.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Jem Jones</a>Jem Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00283849842223000389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4139091376044743904.post-54856278477144928452017-08-28T19:07:29.886-05:002017-08-28T19:07:29.886-05:00THANK YOU!
