Coming Attractions: Fairy Tale Fortnight + Answers and Winnahs!

You may have noticed a few fairy tale elements slip-sliding their way into our winter festivities.  What can I say, these fairy tale tidbits are just so eager to share themselves with you that a few slipped through...

I think that little smattering of fairy dust goes rather nicely with the glitter of the ice and snow, don't you?

Polish up your glass slippers and fluff up your ball gowns, because you definitely want to make it to this party.  Ashley and I have all kinds of good stuff cooking up for you, from author appearances to fab guest posts, tons of reviews and maybe a giveaway or two...  ;p

I want to leave you with one last quote from this weekend.  It comes from Ashley, who perfectly stated my favorite thing about winter:

"My favorite thing about winter is the feeling. It's hard to explain, but there is something really special about standing out in the snow, while it's snowing. Especially those really big flakes you can catch on your tongue that fall softly but thickly. And, if it happens to be a beautiful, crisp night with the stars popping out... Wonderful. Love it! :)"

*all winners selected using Random.org.  Congrats, everyone!
