Very pretty but that ballerina must be cold.

Let's pretend it's fake snow

**BehrItAll** · 12-24-2021, 07:57 PM

It's a stage production.

**LilMouse** · 12-26-2021, 12:52 PM

It is supposed to be the Nutcracker

**BehrItAll** · 12-26-2021, 07:51 PM

The what does Midnight in Everwood mean?

the description doesn't explain the Everwood part

Quote:

A spell-binding retelling of The Nutcracker, filled with enchanted toys, decadent balls, fierce feminine friendships and a forbidden romance. For fans of The Toymakers, Caraval and The Bear and the Nightingale.

There’s nothing Marietta Stelle loves more than ballet, but after Christmas, her dreams will be over as she is obligated to take her place in Edwardian society. While she is chafing against such suffocating traditions, a mysterious man purchases the neighbouring townhouse. Dr Drosselmeier is a charming but calculating figure who wins over the rest of the Stelle family with his enchanting toys and wondrous mechanisms.

When Drosselmeier constructs an elaborate set for Marietta’s final ballet performance, she discovers it carries a magic all of its own. On the stroke of midnight on Christmas Eve, she is transported to a snowy forest, where she encounters danger at every turn: ice giants, shadow goblins and the shrieking mist all lurk amidst the firs and frozen waterfalls and ice cliffs. After being rescued by the butterscotch-eyed captain of the king’s guard, she is escorted to the frozen sugar palace. At once, Marietta is enchanted by this glittering world of glamorous gowns, gingerbread houses, miniature reindeer and the most delicious confectionary.

But all is not as it seems and Marietta is soon trapped in the sumptuous palace by the sadistic King Gelum, who claims her as his own. She is confined to a gilded prison with his other pets; Dellara, whose words are as sharp as her teeth, and Pirlipata, a princess from another land. Marietta must forge an alliance with the two women to carve a way free from this sugar-coated but treacherous world and back home to follow her dreams. Yet in a hedonistic world brimming with rebellion and a forbidden romance that risks everything, such a path will never be easy.

Sounds like Labyrinth and The Goblin King.

Maybe the author is a big Goblin King fan and was inspired?

**BehrItAll** · 12-28-2021, 09:10 PM

Maybe.

You remind me of the babe.

**LilMouse** · 12-29-2021, 12:02 PM

We'll see if there are songs in the book.

so far there aren't songs in the book.

These two debate USA book design v. UK book design.
I always like looking at how countries differ in cover design or even changing titles around

pt 1

pt 2

**BehrItAll** · 02-21-2022, 02:41 PM

That was cute.

I would go back and forth between US and Uk. I didn't keep score myself.

**LilMouse** · 02-21-2022, 07:11 PM

They should do more videos like this. Do US v. Japan, US v. Germany etc.
