More Cinderella Than You Could Ever Want in This Lifetime!!
8:33 AM Posted by Bonnie @ A Backwards Story
Hey Deliriously Falling fans! You may remember a post last week stating the beginning of A Week of Cinderella. Hopefully some of you came out to play! If you didn't have time or got overwhelmed, here's a brief round-up of all the authors, bloggers, giveaways, reviews, and features that were posted this week! There are a lot--20-something! I hope you find something new to enjoy!
[And the ONLY Lauren Oliver tie-in that I can add to this post is....the fact that I finished reading PANDEMONIUM last night? And...that's all I can say for now! ^.~]

The Part Where YOU Come In!!
So, what would you like to see more of? What did you see too much of? What did you like and dislike about the way A Week of Cinderella was handled? If we do another fairy tale-character theme week, it will either be two weeks (for characters with a large repertoire) or organized better...or both! That's a promise!
