rachelsbrittain @Sharpeipup I really enjoyed the tagged book if you're interested in branching out into Russian fairy tales. But also if it makes you feel better this was a really hard quiz 😅 14mo

I am posting one book per day from my extensive to-be-read collection. No description and providing no reason for wanting to read it, I just do. Some will be old, some will be new. Don‘t judge me - I have a lot of books. Join the fun if you want.

My parents brought this back from their trip. The illustrations are absolutely breathtaking. I was amazed by how similar some of the old folk tales to those collected in Germany by the Grimm brothers.

When the seller describes a book as in “good” condition with light wear and it looks like this when it comes in. 😱😩

#BYOB returns after an extended hiatus. Both of us joke about how many books we're behind on the Goodreads challenge. I catch up on my fairy tales.
