Some Books Ago is a shout out to all those books published some years ago. I don't want you to forget them!
Have you ever loved a book you never read? No? Well, I did. I do.
I never had the chance to read Beastly by Alex Flinn, but it was one of the first books I saw when I started reading. I think I added it to my TBR as soon as the Spanish Edition was released... years ago. But I never read it. I didn't even watched the movie... I don't think I'll read it someday, but I still love that cover and it brings great memories. However, you should check it out!

Summary:
A beast. Not quite wolf
or bear, gorilla or dog but a horrible new creature who walks upright—a
creature with fangs and claws and hair springing from every pore. I am a
monster.
You think I'm talking fairy tales? No way. The place is New York City. The time is now. It's no deformity, no disease. And I'll stay this way forever—ruined—unless I can break the spell.
Yes, the spell, the one the witch in my English class cast on me. Why did she turn me into a beast who hides by day and prowls by night? I'll tell you. I'll tell you how I used to be Kyle Kingsbury, the guy you wished you were, with money, perfect looks, and the perfect life. And then, I'll tell you how I became perfectly . . . beastly.

I remember being interested in this book, but then never reading it! I love the book's cover - so simple and beautiful. :D

Oh, me too! this was my favorite cover some years ago.
DeleteI remember after I watched the movie I wanted to read this one. I completely forgot about it though! I liked the movie, but I didn't love it. I'm still curious to see if the book is better. :D
ReplyDeleteI wanted to watch the movie, but I never had the chance :/
DeleteI really liked the movie! Actually, I just watched it again a few days ago. Love the beast. ♥
