As I've mentioned so, so many times before Beauty and the Beast is my all time favorite Disney movie. It's the reason I love to read to begin with. So when I discovered this tag by Kristy  at Kristy and the Cat Read  I just knew I had to do it. 1. "Tale as Old as Time" - A popular theme, trope, or setting you never get tired of reading.

The book starts off with her first appearance at the house after the death of Caleb. We aren't told what happened to him or even why they aren't together anymore. These are the things that kept me going. I'm a big "why" person. Throughout her packing we get ...
