Feel free to join Gisbelle and I as we continue the Grimm Diaries Prequels!

[Gisbelle]

Excited! I want to finish all these prequels ASAP so we can start the novel.

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

me too!!! I already have book 1! but we have ANOTHER set of prequels still lol!

[Vicki]

There are a bunch of prequels? Why? Lol

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

right?! There are like 15!!!! crazy huh?
it's building the world before you start book 1

it's a HUGE retelling of a lot of the fairy tales

[Vicki]

Sounds fun! Enjoy!

[Gisbelle]

Have you started this one yet? I haven't. But I'm reading

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

lol
no, I totally forgot. Why did I think next monday??

I'll start in the morning for sure!

is that one good?

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

okay, I finished

(view spoiler)[ interesting take on Beauty and the beast. I didn't know the real version, when beauty had previously been beast but I like the way it all tied together (hide spoiler)]

also, I liked the intro and prologue :D

[Gisbelle]

Hi Trisha :) I still haven't started. I just realized that the one I posted above is 10.5 lol...

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

lol I wondered. I think it's coming with the next back 11 - 15 :)

I'll wait to read another one until I finish one of the books I'm reading.

Prequel #8 : Moon and Madly

I think, so far, this one was the oddest of all the stories. It was a little hard to follow but a cute story....

[Gisbelle]

I'm so embarrassed lol... I thought it was a 7.5

no no!!! Don't be embarrassed!! The books don't seem to be in too much of an order. I know he says there's an order but there doesn't seem to be one.....

was it good? I can't believe we have 15 prequels!! or was it 18?!? lol!

[Gisbelle]

When I knew it was the wrong one, I didn't finish it.

Yes 18??? Do we have to read them all? He keeps adding more like that, I don't think we will be reading book 1 any time soon.

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

Lol. I don't think we have to read them all, but
I think only, of the actual books, only 1 & 2 are out. I'm not sure when book 3 is out so I wasn't sure if we wanted to stretch these prequels out until its released.....

But with so many little stories, I'm starting to forget and confuse who is who since its all kind if jumbled

But I have book 1
I'm good starting whenever :D

[Gisbelle]

Let's start when we finish this. I'll start tomorrow. Are they good so far? Better than the first set?

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

No. Not better then the first set....I've only read 2 of them but the 2nd one was just weird

I'm interested to see what you think
I had a few friends with 5 star ratings on all this whole set if stories so it might just be me lol

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

I'm done with the third story: Rumpelstein

wow, I am getting SO confused

okay so (view spoiler)[ Rumpelstiltskin is Rapunzel's dad
AND he's also Frankenstein's monster? So he's Rumple (old name) and Stein (frankenstein).... (hide spoiler)] wow

I hope this all makes sense when we start the books! LOL!

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

okay, wow, I'm done.

last story was the best.

[Gisbelle]

Oh boy!!! I just started :P

[Gisbelle]

finished #7 I really liked it. Yes, I loved the twist at the end :) At first it was kinda confusing. I love this author.

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

yay! I'm glad you liked it! :D

[Gisbelle]

:) I'm reading #8 in a few minutes. You said it was strange, so I can't wait to find out for myself :D

[Gisbelle]

Finished #8 it started out a little boring, but I really liked the ending. Still don't get why Grandma Madly could tell Jack she was a fish and he is still alive.

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

yeah, I think that was my least favorite of the set.....

[Gisbelle]

And I believe Marmalade was still wearing the necklace, but Jack didn't notice.

I'm reading #9 now :) I love that the author has tied Rumpelstiltskin with Rapunzel.

[Gisbelle]

Finished. #9 was nice, but still a little confusing. And yeah, I think e author mixed too many stories together, even I liked how he linked Rapunzel and Rumpelstiltskin together, adding Frankenstein into the mix was too much.

#10 was great! I loved the twist at the end. Wow Sandman and The Snow White Queen were the same person. Now I don't what to believe anymore lol

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

I think Snow White was just impersonating Sandman for that one story...or just this one book....or something. lol
I'm getting so lost!!

Do you want to read book 1 in October?!?!?!

[Gisbelle]

lol me too! I cannot think straight.

Yes, it'd be great to finally start book 1.

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

Is there a day that works best?

[Gisbelle]

I have buddy reads scheduled on 1st, 5th, 10th, 25th, and 27th, so any day besides these is great.

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

let's go with 10/15 :D
