Gabrielle Blaque/~Bhlack Benehvolence~’s comments from the Nothing But Reading Challenges group.

I changed my mind about the book I wanted to read for the dance/music part of this challenge. I'd still really like to read a book that either features waltzing or ballroom dancing.

Any suggestions?

Oh and for anyone who gives me suggestions if they're part of a series I'd prefer to start with the first book please.

Thanks in advance!

I'm finally ready! I wanted to shout out a quick thank you to the people who suggested books for me for this challenge!

Thanks Midu and Sashana!

If I decide to do this challenge through a second time don't be too surprised if I come to you guys for help! Thanks again!

Oh yeah! I forgot that Megara had sold her soul! This one might work thanks again Midu!

After some extensive searching I've finally narrowed my Disney Princess reading challenge list down to two needed princess. Megara and Esmeralda.

Help please!

I think I might've looked at this as a possibility until I found out that it was part of a series. Thanks for the possibility though Sashana!

Ariel:
from The Little Mermaid
Read a book where the protagonist has red hair or has a lot of sisters. Or read a book where the protagonist frequently disobeys her father. You can also read a retelling of The Little Mermaid.

Would it also be ok to read a book where the heroine is a mermaid? Or does that sort of just go without saying?

Midu wrote: "@ Gabrielle:
Walker Papers: book 1"

This sounds like something I could get into! I think I'll use this one, thanks Midu!

Midu wrote: "Pocohontas: Try Mercedes Thompson series or the Walker Papers series?"

Midu? Who does the Walker Papers series? Oh and didn't think about the Drake Sisters series. Will look it up right now!

Thanks!

Ok, I need help! I'm having a hard time finding books for the following princesses.

1. Megara

2. Rapunzel

3. Pocahontas

4. Esmeralda

and

5. Snow White

Forgot this one!

6. Ariel

*sighs heavily.* Any ideas?

I know the feeling it's not easy trying to type when your cat's hanging out on the computer desk either. My cat used to do that.

I really overextended myself on challenges this year so my resolution is to try and finish one challenge before I commit to another.

I'm already committed to challenges for the coming year but I have them almost all set up so if I can avoid distractions and maybe stay away from other challenges for the time being then I might be alright, I already know it's going to take some serious determination and I'm definitely going to have to improve my read management skills.

Great thanks Sashana!

Pocahontas:
Read a book where the protagonist is Native American, loves nature, or displays shamanic powers. You can also read a retelling of Pocahontas.

When you say loves nature? could the MC also be like a naturalist?

Thanks Sashana.

I have a quick question, for Tiana? It says that the heroine could be a really good cook. Can it also count as being a good cook if she runs a diner or a bakery?

These are great Midu I couldn't get over the pic where they were dress as the villains!

These are awesome, keep going crazy with these if you'd like I don't we'll get tired of them!

I finally found a carriage that I didn't see anyone else using, thanks anyway for the ship recommendation Lisa Kay. If I plan it right I might still use that book!
