I'm excited to see what you think of some of these fairy tales!
ReplyDeleteI've heard a lot of good things about The Statistical Probability of Love At First Sight. I can't wait to here what you think. :)
ReplyDeleteI hope that blackened heart of yours enjoys Immortal Beloved! I need to read Darkness Falls too.
ReplyDeleteYou color coded your fairy tales. NERD!
I really want to read Hero's Guide to Saving Your Kingdom, I'm jealous.
I want to read Girl Who Circumnavigated Fairyland, Tender Morsels and the Swan Kingdom both...and I have them so I don't have to be jealous. haha.
Shadows on the Moon is good! I liked Daughter of the Flames better though.
A Tale Dark and Grimm is AWESOME! You'll love it.
I am now ending the longest comment ever.
Definitely should read The Swan Kingdom - it's amaaaaaazing. I actually prefered The Swan Kingdom and Daughter of the Flames to Shadows on the Moon, but of course it's up to you wich you want to read!
ReplyDeleteEnna Burning is also really good, but quite different to the first one.
Dear me - major typos *which *preferred
ReplyDeleteFairytale Fortnight sounds like fun, when is it this year?
