YOU, of course, are not limited to recommending fairy tales - use this month's BC to push whatever genre you'd like. =D
I've given A LOT of recommendations in this video, so to make things easier, below you can find where the specific sections of the video start, and then the full list of books, by section (some are repeats, as they're mentioned in more than one).
And below that, you can link up YOUR genre-pushing vlogs and blogs!
(Also, no, I have not read every book mentioned - a couple are books I know to fit in with certain themes, but I have read NEARLY every one, and would be happy to talk about any of them. =D )
Jump to Fairy Tales for:
~ Adults (or those wanting darker themes) @ 2:00

~ Contemporary readers (or those looking for a twist) @ 8:33
~ Hipsters (people who want something more obscure) @ 6:27
~ Epic fantasy / beautiful writing lovers @ 9:53
~ People who don't want to read a "fairy tale" @ 11:25

Woo~ Time to fill up the hold shelf at the library!
ReplyDeleteI loved this video so much. Like ridiculously much. I usually love your videos anyway but this one was just brilliant! I think I'm going to have a lot of new books on my shelves thanks to you. You should definitely do other videos like this on other genre's because I'd love to see your recommendations, although I don't think I'll love them as much as this because fairy tales just have a special place in my heart. Really excited for this fortnight on your blog!
ReplyDeleteThis is the first Book Chat video I've watched, and I loved it! I just added all of these that weren't on there to my TBR and, lucky me, only one is not a part of my library/available through interlibrary loan. Great post! :)
ReplyDeleteI think this is the first Book Chat video I've seen too. No way would I try to make a vlog to follow that! You are much more well read when it comes to Fairy Tales than I am. I learned a lot just watching. And I have quite a few to add to my too read list! That was a great vlog!

Silver Birch, Blood Moon - I think I read that ages ago if I'm remembering correctly! What an awesome list I don't recognize so many of them!

And once again, you make one video, Beth adds 20 books to her TBR list. :)
ReplyDeleteSun and Moon, Ice and Snow was fantastic, but my standout favorite of all of those was Wildwood Dancing. I could not get enough of that book, and it made me a Juliet Marillier fan for life.
Thanks for the recommendations!
I love Wildwood Dancing, too (and was already a firm fan of Marillier when I'd read it, on the strength of Daughter of the Forest alone. Easily one of my all-time favorite books), but I just adore Sun and Moon so much. I love the tale, so that's part of it, but mostly there's just something so perfect about Bear and the Lass.
DeleteEnjoyed the video....so many new books I now NEED.....my TBR list grows and grows.....
ReplyDeleteJust doin' my job. *tips hat*

Oh dear, that list of fairy tale related books that I want to read just keeps getting longer and longer. Totally bookmarking this page for when I can actually have a chance to look these books up. Of course, I've only read like one of these (actually, more, but it's The Lunar Chronicles, sooo...) but I do have Heart's Blood on my tbr for the fortnight and I am really looking forward to it because I hear such great stuff about Juliet Marillier.
