ONCE UPON A CURSE - E D Baker


This is third in a cute faery story series. Emma is a princess who is also the Green Witch. Which means she is charged with the care of the realm. She's fairly happy even though she is an only daughter and her mother despairs of her actions and lack of style and general clumsiness in the past.
There's a catch to Emma's life, though. If she should touch a flower of any type after her 16th birthday, she turns into an evil hag witch until the kiss of a true love touches her lips. It's affected the Green Witch in her family for hundreds of years. Currently, her grandmother and aunt are in this predicament.
Emma decides to do something about stopping the curse and that is the story, short and sweet. She can talk to animals because she'd been turned into a frog in the first of the series. This is she met her honey, Prince Eidrick, who had also been turned into a frog.
Very sweet and funny story, highly recommendable for short and sweet listen or read.

Having fun with all of my books....

Every once in a while, all of my books I am reading are really good. This is one of those times. Not to say that I read bad books, I don't have time for that. Life is short, read good books....
But sometimes the books are just so-so or just reasonably likeable. One will be fab, one will be good and one will be ehhhhh...or any combo thereof..it happens. This time is like book gold. I am reading STORM FRONT - Jim Butcher, the first in the Harry Dresden Files series, DROP SHOT - Harlen Coben, second in Myron Bolitar series, and listening to ONCE UPON A CURSE - E D Baker in the car. All are really good and making me want to stay in the car or on the recumbent bike or in bed for just a little while longer so I can read just a teensy few chapters more. As it happens, I am almost done with all three, so that will make me do just that, wake early or stay up later to have that time with Myron or get in some extra activity minutes with Harry, drive around the block one more time or so and see what Emma is up to.
The only issue with three super books is that there is then the choice of what to read next....
