Hello! Welcome to A Week of Beauty and Beast, a special blog event hosted by Bonnie at A Backwards Story and me! We thought this would be the perfect time to host an event devoted to one of our favorite fairy tales, seeing as how Disney’s live action Beauty and the Beast is coming out in theaters on Friday! Woohoo! We’re excited to share our love of this tale as old as time with you, and hope you enjoy what we have planned! Below you will find the schedule of posts on my blog this week (I’ll be updating it each day), and I’ve linked Bonnie’s schedule above! Make sure you enter to win a Beauty and the Beast themed book of your choice.

Great idea.
I still need to read Beastly sometime
I like this sub-genre though – even have it as a genre on my Goodreads page.
