New Book Purchase: Beauty and the Beast: Lost in a Book

Being a bookaholic, how can I not relate to Belle's love of books and reading. She's one of my favorite fictional bookworms. And I just love that her entire village knows that she loves reading and can always be found with her nose stuck in a book. Like most book nerds, the story always seems to capture her attention.

I don't know how many times I've heard or seen book nerds saying how they wish they could live in the world or the story of the book they're reading. Which is what the premise for Lost in a Book is about with Belle being transported to a world inside of a very special book.

I bought this because I know she will not stay there but I'm interested in what the book world is like and how she was able to leave or escape depending on how the story goes. Seems like this might be a good read.

Book: Beauty and the Beast: Lost in a Book by Jennifer Donnelly

Edition: Hardcover

Description:

An original addition to the beloved Beauty and the Beast fairy tale, Lost in a Book follows the lonely, bookish Belle as she finds an enchanted book in the Beast's library called Nevermore that carries her into a glittering new world. There, Belle is befriended by a mysterious countess who offers her the life she's always dreamed of.

But Nevermore is not what it seems, and the more time Belle spends there, the harder it is to leave. Good stories take hold of us and never let us go, and once Belle becomes lost in this book, she may never find her way out again.
