A Pocketful of Crows | 
pickMy nearby hometown recently replaced the library I grew up with and still frequented. I had to take a look and in doing so, noticed this beautiful book on the shelves. This new fairy tale was a quick read with beautiful illustrations. I‘m looking forward to the other fairy tales the author has written.
pickCute, beautiful little book about a girl and her love and magic.
pickThis was such a nice fairytale to read. Easy to follow as well as honest and to the point, I finished this in one sitting. I also really like the idea of Joanne M. Harris writing her own series of magical fairytales, as this one felt very heartfelt and unique.
pickA grown up fairytale. It‘s a lovely story about a wild girl with no name (to name is to tame) who can travel in the bodies of wild animals. She falls in love with the local Lord‘s son, who does name her. She loses her abilities, he betrays her, and she exacts her revenge. The illustrations are gorgeous, too.
so-soA YA fairytale of a girl in the forest who falls in love with a boy in a castle, that‘s woven through with magic and suffering and heartbreak and revenge.
Read January 9-13
Book 3/55
pickLate night reading helped me finish this one up.
The illustrations in it are gorgeous. The story itself follows the seasons with a lovely folklore-style tale about love.
I really enjoyed the parts dealing with the wheel of the year and the mother-maiden-crone explanations more than the rest...a good book for the witches here.

Nice timing. Trying to finish this one up before going back to work tomorrow.
Bleh, I don‘t want to stop reading and get out of bed because that means I have to deal with today and I definitely don‘t want to.
Hope everyone is having a peaceful, safe day and I‘m around if there‘s anyone who needs a friendly chat.

pickYesterday I read the last book in my #yearendclearout library stack!! Book 4/4! Crows is a delightfully subversive fairy tale filled w/wildness, animals, love, betrayals, vengeance, spells, & lyrical language. I read it in 1 day.
Looking forward to 2019 now! I have made a few goals for myself & will be participating in a couple of challenges. I'll share all of that next week. Until then I'll be picking books from my own shelves. #readwhatyouown
The year it turns, and turns, and turns. Winter to summer, darkness to light, turning the world like wood on a lathe, shaping the months and the seasons. Tonight is May Eve, and the moon is full for the second time this month. May Eve, and a blue milk moon. Time for a witch to go traveling.
I‘m watching my friend‘s cat this weekend and bringing this little #fairytale retelling with me as I hang out with Louise. She‘s slowly warming to my presence 😂 #catsofLitsy
I love rhymes like this, & Joanne Harris' books are filled with them. Mine are more like, "He ain't worth the powder to blow him to hell" or "God willing and the creek don't rise" or "If the cows are lying down it means rain." ? I loved the one "Elisabeth, Elsbeth, Betsy, and Bess, all went together to a bird's nest..."
A little over halfway through the month and I have finished nine books! I feel good about that!
My most recent Amazon order. This is definitely a #BlameItOnLitsy order! I love Joanne Harris & had never heard of either of these!

pickDefinitely got my reading mojo back!
Lovely little read. Gripping story about a 'witch' who is accused of enchanting a Lord, told from her perspective. Very full of nature, and full of beautiful illustrations. It left me wanting more though and had an abrupt end. 4🌟 overall
Now moving on to A Wrinkle in Time 😊
Snow update! It's still fallling, most of my garden ornaments are now long lost relics fossilized in the snow. My parents are currently on a milk run to try and find some and get it to me. On the plus I'm steaming through this book and will finish it today! 🙌 silver linings...
End papers for my current read. There are illustrations throughout as well but they're of major plot points so I wouldn't want to spoil it for anyone! Beautiful.
Really enjoying it so far, it's a strange little read!
Boys are dressed and breakfasted. Now to enjoy some hot crumpets and a book while the little one bounces and the big one dances around to The Ramones, the big ones latest obsession.
Rather than sticking to a list I've decided to mood read my next read and picked this. I think I read better and more when I don't have a set plan or schedule. I'm actually excited to start this! 😄
Also have to show you all how beautiful this book is. The end papers and illustrations inside are also amazing. 😍
My last #bookmail of 2017! 😱
Really looking forward to all of these. I can tell 2018 is going to be a good book year!
Hope you all have a fantastic New Years Eve! And hoping you all hit your 2018 book goals next year! 😄🎉🎉🎉
What's that? Why yes. Yes I have spent most of my Christmas money already. And yes. It was on books. #sorrynotsorry Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays one and all! 😄
pickI really liked this one. A classical story of a prince cursed by a witch, but from the view of said witch😍 I love that fantasy tends to be less black and white recently!!
I was the willing victim of the Halloween section in my bookstore (+ some more)
But A pocketful of crows is so shiny 😍😍
