The White Witch
(except taken from Breadcrumbs/ Chapter 7/ pgs.-93-95)
A gust of wind picked up in the woods, and the snow in front of it began to stir. It was like a small tornado had settled at the tree line, and snow began to whirl around faster and faster. Jack took a step back as the spinning column got bigger, and part of him wanted to run, but it was only a small part. For he understood he was seeing magic.
And indeed he was. For the snow was not snow anymore, but a woman- tall and lithe like a sketch, in a white fur cape and a white shimmering gown that looked so thin it would melt if you touched it. Hair like spun crystal framed cream-colored skin. The woman stepped closer, revealing eyes as bright as the sun reflecting off snow. But they were cold things, and it was like looking for solace in frost... preview Breadcrumbs

What Fairday's Blog! is all about...
Fairday's Riddles are posted on Mondays- they can be written about anything, and everything, all at the same time : )
Lizzy's Book Reviews are posted on Wednesdays. Lizzy has read just about every middle grade novel out there, and she loves to share her thoughts and, of course, her opinions.
The Top of the Heap is a post we put up on Thursdays. We thought it would be fun once a week to put up two things that we appreciate and have been thinking about during the week. I enjoy doing this post because I love the google hunt for the perfect image to accompany the topic of discussion.
Margo's Musings Fridays belong to Margo, Fairday's little sister. This post focuses on reviewing local children's book authors, which we follow up with an Author Interview.
The DMS Wants to Know was a post we came up with for Saturdays because when we get together to hang out on the weekend, we always chat about different situations and ideas that are floating around in our brains and we like to listen to what other people think about them- some of the comments we've gotten have been absolutely fascinating!
We'd love to hear yours! Happy Reading!
I love all the days here! My middle daughter did book reviews too...she and Lizzy could probably talk for hours!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite character would have to be Snow White and the Little Mermaid.....actually all of them.
ReplyDeleteSnow white? I live how she sang to the birds.

ReplyDeleteRight now (because it changes all the time), my favourite faerie tale character is the princess in The Six Swans. I love how she dedicates her life to freeing her brothers from the curse. =)

Firstly, my thanks to Jess for joining me over at Pen and Paper, I truly appreciate your visiting.
