Thank you! And yes, so many awesome stories...<b>Kara</b>,<br /><br />Thank you! And yes, so many awesome stories, for sure!! Happy to send you a S/O for introducing me to the sweetness of <i>A Snicker of Magic</i>. :) Thanks again!<br /><br />Yes, so cool that other <i>Five Glass Slippers</i> entrants released their Cinderella stories into the wild! Gotta love all of the incredibly unique takes on the traditional story. <br /><br />Yes, yes, to <i>Cruel Beauty</i>! I do believe I'd enjoy re-reading that one, too. :) Cannot wait for <i>Crimson Bound</i>!<br /><br />Glad you agree with some of my other choices. :) As for <i>The Seahorse Legacy</i>...yep, there's definitely a massive cliffhanger! It's exciting and enticing, but something that makes the wait for Book 4 all the longer. I think I recall Serena mentioning something about this summer? I sure hope we won't have to wait TOO long! We've gotta know what happens!! ;)<br /><br />~AmberAmber Holcombhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15100265646497152198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4163733401418146284.post-22749206879099958102015-02-07T11:26:12.142-07:002015-02-07T11:26:12.142-07:00What a great list, Amber! So many awesome stories....What a great list, Amber! So many awesome stories. (And thanks for the shout out. I'm so pleased you enjoyed Natalie's story as much as I! :)<br /><br />I didn't realize that some of the other writers had published their Cinderella stories. I'll go check them out! <br /><br />Ah, Cruel Beauty. SUCH a wonderful story. I need to do a reread soon! <br /><br />And Cress and The Pursuit of Tamsin Littlejohn, so great!<br /><br />I skimmed enough of The Seahorse Legacy to realize that it had a humdinger of a cliffhanger! Hence I've been waiting to read it until the next book comes out. WHICH I AM SO READY TO HAPPEN. I'm tired of waiting already! ;)Karahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09590701834142754842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4163733401418146284.post-33010894770963660762015-01-02T23:49:05.029-07:002015-01-02T23:49:05.029-07:00Stephanie,
