Enjoying the read with my coffee ☕🫶🏼

Hihi! 🤗🫶🏼 How have you all been? 😉🥰

We have another review today! 🩷 Apologies for the length. 🤣 I hope you all enjoy! 😉🫶🏼

Firstly, a quick side note—this is so random and embarrassing, but my apostrophes are refusing to work today, and as I cannot live without contractions, sadly you will all have to live with slight typos today, and hopefully not next time. 🤣🤣🙈 Thanks for bearing with me. 😜🥰

As Old as Time by Liz Braswell

Blurb: What if Belles mother cursed the Beast?

When Belle touches the Beasts enchanted rose, memories flood through Belles mind — memories of a mother she thought she would never see again. And, stranger still, she sees that her mother is none other than the beautiful enchantress who cursed the castle and all its inhabitants.

Shocked and confused, Belle and the Beast will have to unravel a dark mystery about their families that is 21 years in the making.

As Old as Time is the third book in a new YA line that reimagines classic Disney stories in surprising new ways.

I enjoyed the story line of this book so very much! 🥰 It was the first book in a long time that forced me to stay up until one AM, gasping and turning pages. 😯🫶🏼 I loved getting to see a side of Disneys characters I had never even imagined before.

The main downside there was that two of the main characters got on my nerves quite a bit, but they were alright by the end. 😉🤣

That being said, there were more content concerns than I would prefer. ☹️ Though the words a twisted tale on the cover should be a good hint, definitely do not go into this story expecting the pink, sparkly Disney romance youre used to. 🤣👀

CWs: This book was definitely more violent than it needed to be. 😕 Though by no means the worst out there, it was too in-depth. For example, there is a 🩷MINOR SPOILER🩷 dead, decaying body in one scene, and it is described fairly vividly despite the fact that simply saying it was a mostly decayed corpse would have done the trick. 🩷SPOILER ENDED🩷 The romance was clean and cute, but there were a couple little innuendos in there. Several variations of d---, and two missuses of Gods name. A girls monthly blood is briefly mentioned. Magic and magical creatures.

Conclusion; this book was a very enjoyable read, but it is up to your-or your parents 😉-conscience to decide whether or not it is worth the content. ☺️ Definitely at least 16 plus. 🩷

Philippians 4:8

Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. 🩷

That’s all for now! ☺️ What do you all think? Have any of you read this one, or do you plan to? 🤔 If so, I would love to hear any thoughts! 🥰 And as always, I’d love to hear about what you all have been reading as well. 😉 Until next time! 🫶🏼🩷
