Cinderella Stories

I recently did a book talk for Ella Enchanted by Gail Carson Levine. So of course, I read it again.

AGAIN you say?

Yes. Again.

Ella Enchanted is one of my favorite books of all time. Hands down, no jokes. I read it for the first time when I was fourteen? Maybe thirteen. Or fifteen. Okay, between thirteen and fifteen.

REGARDLESS.

My family had gone on vacation over the summer to the Outer Banks in North Carolina. And I brought Ella Enchanted to read. You know, just for the time on the plane. I devoured it. And when I was done, I had nothing else to read. So I read it again. And again. I think I read this one book seven times over the whole trip.

So I've probably read it through about twenty times in my life. I just love it.

I've even had to get a second copy (and this time, I got a hardback!) because my paperback copy was starting to fall apart!

I love, love, love this book and I HIGHLY recommend it. It's a refreshing twist on the classic Cinderella story. And it explains everything about the Cinderella story. It's just GREAT.
