Every reader and blogger is also invited to participate and make their own list. It doesn't have to have the same theme, it just needs to pertain to books!
If you do make your own list and post it to your blog, share the link in the comments. Or if you prefer write your own list in the comments!
Note: I put 3 asterisks beside the titles I have read and recommnend. Ihave not read all of the books I put in these lists, so be sure to check them all out!
I want ot make a list of 10 princesses who defies the stereotypes of their title. Real princesses, fake princesses, princesses in training, anything goes!

ReplyDeleteYes! To be honest I haven't read the books themselves (but soon!), but I have read a lot about them, and I already love Eilowyn :)

I love The Ordinary Princess. It is, like you said, the epitome of charming. I should reread it soon.
