CBR Review #2: Alanna: The First Adventure

January 14, 2015 by jesslla 1 Comment

The_Song_of_the_Lioness_-_Alanna_The_First_Adventure_-_Cover

 

The book cover I’m  using is the original cover for the first edition of this book, from back in 1982 (I think). To me, this is the only cover that I even acknowledge. It’s the first one I saw, and the best one. It’s so evocative of the story, whereas the newer ones are just blah.

I review this book over on my blog. Sorry, my site is slow. I need my husband to upgrade the hosting to a *faster* site, but he’s cheap. :P

This is my favorite book, and I do gush about it quite a bit. #SorryNotSorry

    This is still secretly, not secretly, my favorite series of books ever! And I own 3 out of 4 of the original hardcovers. Only one more till my collection has the “right” covers.
