Pickpick

I finally finished the last story. I would consider this a solid pick with two exceptions. (TW)One had a bully using derogatory language including cognitive slurs. I think it was meant to be jarring, but I would have preferred words like asshole to what was used. The second story just wasn‘t my preference. The majority of stories were great- and very very different from each other. I am so glad I found this analogy.

slategreyskies She‘s done several really interesting anthologies with contributors like Neil Gaiman in some of them, if I remember correctly. I think some of them are retellings of fairy tales. I have a few of them on Kindle, but they‘ve been just hanging out on my TBR and not being read. I‘ll have to choose one and bump it up the list a bit. :) 3y
Chrissyreadit @slategreyskies yes- his contribution is a poem in this one. But most of the contributors tell a great story. 3y
erank58 I love all her anthologies, they're so well done compared to others out there. If you liked this one, check out The Green Man, which Terri Windling was involved with as well 3y
Chrissyreadit @erank58 it‘s on my TBR- I def want to read it. I just discovered these anthologies and am pretty excited about them. 3y

I saw this on a library shelf and grabbed it on a whim- but I LOVE it! I‘m upset I picked it up this morning instead of Sat- I‘ve flown through 250 pages but have to go to work. I do not always love short stories but these are exactly what I like- Fae from different cultural perspectives, and each one different and wonderful sometimes creepy, sometimes funny. @HOTPock3tt I think you would def enjoy this and I‘m tagging my other fantasy friends

Chrissyreadit Anyone else love a good fantasy genre book that I missed tagging? 3y

This was a lovely anthology; I love that the editors asked the authors to write faeries into our contemporary cultures to explore how they would adjust or if they even could. The stories range not only in style and setting but from light-hearted and fun, to chilling or saddening. There is a story for everyone here.
Another for #autumnbingo too! @Tiffy_Reads

This quotation brings me great comfort in fact.

A faerytale a day keeps adulthood away.

What you get for saving [the hero] is the chance to be the hero in your own tale.

"You, young man, should not be traveling up this mountain alone with night setting in."

Ominous. Accurate?

Finished writing chapter 3 in MY book, now gonna read a few short stories and then dive back in.

readinginthedark Nice! How is this? I've heard Ellen Datlow is a fantastic editor! 8y
Peterdamien It'll be excellent. It'll be varied and clever and a lot of fun. I will, quite literally, buy any book without glancing inside if I see Ellen Datlow edited it. She's the BEST. 8y
