We can change it to read the original fairy tale be the French lady. Or maybe we can make it a rapunzel task going with tangled. Or both...

So belle isn't based off a Grimm fairy tale. But another one by a woman... So I guess we can just change that portion.

Haha! Looks like I missed them all too! Great to meet all you new ladies. Hope you enjoy your time with us.

Z! You crazy got in all those last minute pages and got me by 100! :P

I have the entire brothers Grimm book with all the tales. It shouldn't be too hard to find a copy at the library because I think the Disney ones would be considered a retelling although they are fairly similar to the originals.

That will work fine Joanne!

1. Read a book and the last word in the book must be the first in the next book.
2. Or read a book and then find a book with a word that is found in the first book
3. Or read a book and whatever the last letter is must be the first letter in the next book
4. Monsters university: read a book of someone in college and a book that will scare you or has monster in it or has a horror genre
5. Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue: read a book that was published more than 50 years ago, read something that was published in the past year, read something that you borrowed from someone or from the library, read something with a predominantly blue cover
6. Make a meal: read something with a drink on the cover or in the title and the same for meal food and dessert.

Example: If you read The Princess Diaries (about a princess), you could then read a book with a character that's a part of a royal family during the time of Napoleon; from there, you could read a historical novel that took place during the French Revolution (1789-1799; led up to Napoleon's takeover).
