I need a speaker I can insert a usb stick or sd card into, and it will allow me to play the files directly off of it. In order. No other device needed.
The smaller the better.
I read this book probably around 2012? Written in first person. Could have been anywhere from middle school to adult reading level.
Idk if the main character was actually named Cinderella / Ella / something like that, but that was very much the character she was. The story is set after events of the fairytale. (I don't think magic came into play at all, like instead of a fairy godmother she fixed up an old dress herself, sort of thing. But I could be wrong?)
The main character is given lessons on being a lady / princess after the whole ball thing happens, and she hates it. At some point, she finds out that when she arrived at the ball, she was sent through the door that only the beautiful girls were sent through (less attractive ones were sent through a different door), and I believe the book says something about her thinness from being starved by her step family being part of the reason she was considered so attractive.
There's a scene where she and the other ladies at the castle are at a race or sports event or something, only they stay inside their tent and don't actually watch, because that's not ladylike. The main character goes to lift a tent flap and take a peek anyway, but a lady in the tent with her (I think the unpleasant woman who was coaching her on how to be a lady?) threatens her, something like "you'll regret it" or "it'll be the last thing you ever do." The book then has a line like "I did the only ladylike think I could think of: I fainted." There might have been a preceding scene where she was coached on how fainting was a proper ladylike response?
I don't really remember the overall plot other than that. I think she may have ended up in the dungeons with rats at one point? (Though I could be remembering that detail from a totally different book.)
I posted some things I drew for one of my fics on my tumblr blog, and I wanted to add a link to it in the fic.
I know Tumblr isn't the go-to image-hosting website for most people, so I don't know if there would be any problems with linking to an image posted there. Is there any reason it's a bad idea/wouldn't work?
There's nothing financial whatsoever anywhere on my profile, if that helps, I just use tumblr for fanart.
I guess there's no time for google when I'm in the flow 🤣
