Top Ten Tuesday: Fairytale Facts from Fruit Ninja Puss in Boots

Prior to downloading Fruit Ninja, I only have Temple Run Brave and Temple Run 2 in my phone. I love both of that games but my nephew asked me to download some more games because he’s sick of playing Temple Run already. Haha!

So, I downloaded Fruit Ninja Puss in Boots. I’m so glad I did because it’s very entertaining and I love that it shows fun facts every time you lose a game.
