Enchanted

Title: Enchanted
Author: Alethea Kontis

Publisher: Ember
ISBN: 978-0-375-86564-0

Why Read?: For Fun
Challenges: 100 Books in a Year

Thoughts: I have read a lot of books based on fairy tales, and a good handful that tries to combine fairy tales, but none have completely hit the mark as well as Kontis.  Enchanted is a fun and adorable read for any fairy tale lover, young or old.

Rating: 5 stars

Title: Please Ignore Vera Dietz
Author: A. S. King

Publisher: Ember
ISBN: 978-0-375-86564-0

Why Read?: For Fun
Challenges: 100 Books in a Year

Thoughts:  If you are a fan of edgy YA - like The Perks of Being a Wallflower - then this is the book for you.  King writes very realistically and is not afraid to show life like it really is.
