The Buzz

Book 1: "Well-written, fast-paced, and entirely appropriate for its target audience (middle grade fantasy), this short but succinct novel (novella? It was maybe a little between a novella and a novel) tells a delightful tale of a naive princess who learns the real meaning of freedom. Kirsten gives her characters a sufficient amount of depth to make them genuinely likeable, and she leaves room for much, much more to come." ~ 5 Star Review, Ally, Amazon

Book 1: "An inspiring thought provoking, and wonderfully written fairy tale by an author who transports us to a time in our imagination where everything is magical and possibilities are real." ~ 5 Star Review, kathyls, Amazon

Book 2: "Fairy tales are filled with knights and princesses and castles and a special magical feel that takes the reader far, far, away into another world, another place, another time. The Battle for Princess Madeline fits the bill to a tee! Author Kirstin Pulioff has created a special feel to the tale of Princess Madeline with her own special talent for using words to paint pictures in our minds." ~ 5 Star Review, Dii, Amazon

Book 2: "The story is well developed and easy to follow. The vivid scenes will transport young readers into the magical world of fairy tales with thrilling characters that have come to life. Another splendid read for young readers! I can hardly wait for a new book, Princess Madeline and the Dragon. " ~ 5 Star Review, Mrs. D., Amazon

Book 3: "The story is engaging on many levels, as is Pulioff's writing, but on this occasion I was mostly drawn into the action and the mystery as how to prevent the worst from happening. This is great entertainment and should do well across a wider age range." ~ 5 Star Review,ChristophFischerBooks, Amazon

Book 3: "Kirstin Pulioff has saved the best for last. 'Princess Madeline and the Dragon' is the final instalment in the 'Princess Madeline Trilogy'. I thought the first two books were finely wrought stories, but this novel surpasses its predecessors. Prophesies, family tragedies, magic and - of course - dragons, combine to produce a tale that is an instant classic. Written with a great deal of charm, 'Princess Madeline and the Dragon' will not disappoint Ms Pulioff's young fans. I look forward to seeing where next her imagination will take this natural storyteller. " ~ 5 Star Review, Diogenes, Amazon

5/30 – Dee’s Reads – Review
Madeline is obviously a sheltered girl who literally lives the life "of a princess" and it shows. But she's endearing. I love that. She isn't annoying, nor is she a spoiled brat. 
-          Tressa’sWishful Endings - "Dream Cast" Guest Post
Part of the fun of reading a new book is discovering the characters and imaging them in your mind.  This is my dream cast for the Princess Madeline series, and who I envision playing the roles.  I hope you agree.
5/31 – Green Mountain Couple – Review
So if you have a TEEN I would recommend these books Highly or if your a kid at heart!
6/2 – JoJo’s Corner - Review
Here at JoJo’s Corner, we are huge fans of Kristin Pulioff, Princess Madeline and this series!!!

6/3 – Mel’s Shelves – Review
I enjoyed reading the power struggle between Madeline and King Theodore. They are both clever and just when you thought one of them outwitted the other, the other one did something to show they weren't done yet. It was entertaining!  
6/4 – Books for Kids – Review
I love books like this. I really liked the plot and the way events unfolded.

Symbolizing the innocence of youth, and a desire for love, harmony and purity, Princess Madeline is my white princess.
6/5 – Books for Kids – Review
The plot is well thought out and the storyline is great.
6/6 – MisAdventuresof a 20-Something Year Old Girl - "My Colorful Cast" Part II
 I have a thing for rainbows. The magical colors and sparkles add happiness to my life in an instant. With that in mind, I take care to choose my colors carefully, for the imagery they evoke, the symbolism they encompass, and the characters they portray. 
6/7 –  Mel’sShelves  - Review
 I highly recommend this series to any girl with dreams of being a princess and it's great for the entire family, too!

6/9 - Wonderings of One Person - Review
The Escape of Princess Madeline and The Battle for Princess Madeline by Kirstin Pulioff creates a beautifully enchanting and delightfully touching story of a princess who quickly goes from being a spoiled girl to an amazing woman.
6/10 – Wonderings of One Person - Prince Paulson
“Your Majesty,” he continued, “I am here to claim Princess Madeline’s hand in marriage.  Surely you recall our deal?”
– Cassandra Lost In Books – Review
 I guess I love fairy tales especially when there is a head strong and noble princess who won’t let anyone or anything hold her back from doing what she thinks is right.  I love her sense of personal integrity and courage which is hard to teach or show kids but this book does it :)  Kirstin is a fabulous story teller and bard :) 
-          Jessie’sBook Place - The Wonderful World of Color
Each portion of this world was created carefully, with respect to their colors, the imagery, and the feelings they evoke. I hope you enjoy the Kingdom of Soron, and the wonderful adventures. 
6/11 – Backing Books – Review
A nice, short read about making your own choices... sweet and new.
6/12 – Hopelessly Devoted Bibliophile - Review
Continuing the story of Princess Madeline and her royal family, The Battle for Princess Madeline was a short and sweet read. I didn't have the opportunity to read Madeline's first story, but I can absolutely say that this reads as a standalone just fine!
6/13 – Fluttereal Flight Review
In this novel, we see the twisted side to self-entitlement and greed. Prince Paulsen thinks that he deserves Princess Madeline... We see how a pure and brave Prince turns obsessive because of his quest to claim Madeline as his, and it was sad to watch him turn to the dark side because of his greed. I actually really admired Prince Paulsen in the 1st novel, and it was sad to watch him fall from grace 
-          MySeryneti "The Battle Begins" Excerpt
Pure panic and fear marred the faces of the crowd as King Theodore ordered the gates raised for his villagers to enter.
6/14 – Grand Finale Blast!


Happy Birthday Kirstin on May 27th!!

Monday - News and Awesome Stuff

Welcome to Monday!!

Are you going to BEA this year? If not... are you participating in Armchair BEA?!  There will be so much going on next week... so many giveaways... so much awesomeness.


At Colorimetry, I will be launching a new tour - The Battle for Princess Madeline by Kirstin Pulioff. The tour is full, but anyone is welcome to share the Launch, which is fun, or get on the Rafflecopter for sharing our Grand Finale on June 14th. If you're interested, sign up HERE.


I am ALSO hosting a mini-series for Triskele Books highlighting a new author and book every day with interviews and stuff which will include a new giveaway DAILY plus a grand release party on June 1st. I will be sharing that Release Party Post with other bloggers - let me know if you want IN!  :-D

Besides this excitement... and a few pre-written posts... June is pretty much a no-blogging month for me. Lol. I have two birthday parties and four kids released from school and a general BUZZ of activity and energy at my house that makes blogging nearly impossible. I wish I could share it with you - it's really fun in an insane sort of way. I've gotten used to it since Dash was in Kindergarten and Trinity was born. As soon as the basketball playoffs begin, I feel the build-up. Lol. (The 9th month in any pregnancy is memorable, but spend two of those months watching the playoffs and it's MEMORABLE.)

It's good blogging manners to announce breaks in schedules... not that I keep a schedule, but June will be different. This is my announcement.

3I'm reading the Infernal Devices Series, so I had to participate in this awesome thing hosted by Sheila @ Book Journey.


I finished The Clockwork Prince over the weekend and dived into my signed and personalized copy of The Clockwork Princess Sunday.

This series...

It's got talons, I tell ya!  It gets a good grip and won't let go!!  I don't know how I'm going to go about regular Monday activities when I'm on page 138 of 568. I wish I could turn on the sunshine and swing in a hammock and not come out 'til I've closed the back cover.

Ah well... I'll be in England of a century past in my thoughts, at least.
