 "What music do you choose?" she asked. (It seemed her husband was never going to speak, though he kept his bright bird eyes on me constantly.)
 "Sleeping Beauty," I said meekly, believing the role of Princess Aurora the greatest of all testing pieces in the classical repertory--so why choose a less demanding part? "I can dance The Rose Adagio all alone," I boasted.
 "Wonderful," she said sarcastically. Then added with additional scorn, "I guessed, just by your looks, you would want The Sleeping Beauty."
 That made me wish I'd chosen something lesser.

    I'm curious about this character and want to know more about how dancing is a part of the plot. (I like "bright bird eyes.")

    It's been so long since I've read this book I don't recall this passage. Thanks for sharing some of V.C. Andrews' work. I loved these books when I was younger.

    I hate how people put others down when they're trying to be enthusiastic about something! I feel like the woman's tone might have something to do with how her husband is staring! Thanks for hosting :) I hope you have a great weekend!

    Oh goodness! Why would it be assumed that her husband was never going to speak? Is he in a coma? Does he have some sort of disability? Breaks my heart! I'm going to check it out on Goodreads; thanks for sharing Freda! Have a wonderful weekend! :)

Our heroes pull out all the stops to try and win the tournament, break the witch's hold on King Arthur, and find a way back to the present in this legendary story of Scooby Doo in King Arthur's Court. REVIEW: It was weird starting off with a He-Man lookalike, Thunder the Barabarian), until I realized a character from the film was watching the cartoon in the airplane. Still, it was kind of cool to reminice about two cartoons from my childhood. So many great actors bring the film to life! What a fun story it was too! Although
