For Review

Thanks to Scholastic Australia for sending me these books for review!

The Beast Within: A Tale of Beauty’s Prince by Serena Valentino

A cursed prince sits alone in a secluded castle. Few have seen him, but those who claim they have say his hair is wild and nails are sharp–like a beast’s! But how did this prince, once jovial and beloved by the people, come to be a reclusive and bitter monster? And is it possible that he can ever find true love and break the curse that has been placed upon him?

I like Beauty and the Beast retellings, and I already have the other retelling which is about Belle’s mother, so I’m really looking forward to reading this one as well.

Riverdale: The Day Before by Micol Ostow

Based on the massively successful CW show, Riverdale, this prequel novel explores what the gang was doing before Season One.

Why did Jughead and Archie have a falling out? What did Veronica’s life look like in the Big Apple? And how long has Betty really been in love with Archie?

Told from multiple points of view, your favorite characters tell their story their way.

I don’t know anything about Riverdale or Archie, except that it’s a comic and the Netflix Sabrina TV show takes place in the same universe, but I’m willing to learn!
