Entwined is a fairy-tale inspired fiction of the story The Twelve Dancing Princesses. It's a suspenseful retelling. If I'm honest, the folktale that inspired this fantasy fiction was never been one of my favorites. This author manages to take a rather thin story and turn it into something interesting with a hero that is a strong woman of steel! This atmospheric version is my favorite retelling.

Punk 57 is a teen romance novel. The book
takes us through the journey of two people
who were paired together in a pen pal project
in the 3rd grade and have been writing to
each other ever since then. What the catch?
They’ve never seen or met each other. One of
my favorite lines in the whole book is “we
were perfect together until we met,” I think
that this line is significant because it
symbolizes both Reyen and Mishas’ journey
throughout the book. The book is a wonderful
and enjoyable read and I would recommend

first day of school, she begins to notice odd things - like the pale and beautiful but isolated
family that is the Cullens. Especially Edward Cullen - who seems completely infuriated and

Lucy and Joshua are coworkers, both assistants to the two CEOs at a publishing
company. Though the word coworkers implies some cooperation and amiability, that’s nowhere
near the truth. Their mutual loathing, which began from the moment their two companies

Lucy (begins with staring hatefully at Joshua and ends the same way), when for some reason
he kisses her in the elevator. This, combined with a new promotion opportunity, an agreement
