This week Chelsea and Taryn discuss some of the books they want to read this book. The twist: they have to pull from books that they have already bought but haven't read yet.

Happy Tuesday! Chelsea and Taryn are back this week to review one of their favorite reads of 2023. Little Thieves is a twisted retelling of The Goose Girl fairy tale, but instead of following the perspective of the princess, this book explores why her maid stole her crown and subjected her to the life of a commoner. This story has everything that a good tale needs and more. Enjoy!
