Greenteeth | 
Started reading Greenteeth for #auldlangspine this evening. And check out the cool 3D printed bookmark @tiedyedude gave me! @bookmarktavern @monalyisha
July‘s pick is my favorite read of 2025. A delightfully cozy fairy tale like story of a ragtag group going on quests, collecting magic items, fighting a great evil, & making a family all of them desperately needed.

This is such an exciting reading list to receive! I narrowed it down to my top five picks—each one is available at my library and all by authors who are new to me. I‘m starting with Greenteeth, which has been on my TBR for a while. Thank you for the wonderful list, @BookmarkTavern, and an extra big thank you to @monalyisha for all the hard work you‘ve put into making #AuldLangSpine happen! #AuldLangSpine #AuldLangSpine2026
It‘s my birthday on Tuesday, so tell me about your favorite read of the year!
I loved this fairy tale story of friendships, an epic quest to defeat a great evil, magical things that come in threes, bonus Arthurian lore, and the goodest of good boys.
#SundayFunday I hope you all have a wonderful day, and don‘t forget to tag me!
pickThis is a lovely fable, a tale of the Fae, of the wilder times of the world. Jenny is a monster with great charm and humanity in her, even with her sharp and jagged edges. On her quest, she becomes more appealing as she finds her way to friendship and navigates the realities of the world. This book carries a strong magic, and makes a compelling and engaging read. Highly recommend if you‘re a fan of true fairy tales.
bailedI really thought I would like this! I just didn‘t 🤷🏻♀️
pickJenny Greenteeth was just minding her business when the local town preacher decided a witch needed to be drowned in her lake. Suddenly, she‘s swept up in a great quest, a battle against unimaginable evil, & playing nice w/ the High Fae Court.
Probably my favorite book of the year so far. A rag tag group on an epic quest, the power of friendship, a real fairy tale feeling, & enough twists that I absolutely did not predict the ending.🌕🌕🌕🌕🌕
And the spoils! 💚 #BookHaul I‘m going to have to be very careful, because I only have the one suitcase this trip. 😅

I've taken part in a COLLABORATION VIDEO on YouTube 🥰🥰🥰
We read this charming little book and vlogged about it together!!!!!!
This video is on my friend Rachel's channel, but we will each be hosting an episode.
pickI really liked this. In flipping through the book I'd caught a spoiler, but I hadn't connected all the dots, so it was fun to see how it all unfolded. In many ways there's nothing surprising about this because it's very much written in a fairytale setup, if not style.
If some Welsh spellings, why not all Welsh spellings, though?
pickSo fun!
pickGreenteeth is a sweet novel full of folklore and friendship.
Overall, I enjoyed this book. I often describe myself as "allergic to whimsy", so wasn't sure this would be my cup of tea, but it was lively, heart-warming, and stuffed full of legends.
I did find it dragged a little at times, but if you like stories of fae and magic, this had fairytale vibes and I cared what happened to the characters.
⭐️⭐️⭐️
The workweek is a wrap and I have a lovely evening in front of me. 😊
This book is fun, so far (35%), and I absolutely 💚 the cover!
1. Filing deadline is April 30 in Canada. Mine will be done before then.
2. Charming
pickFolklore fans will love this imaginative look at Jenny Greenteeth, one of the many water “monsters” that show up in British folklore. O‘Neill spins a tale about Jenny combined with some Arthurian lore. Great fun. Pic from my favorite book Faeries by Froud!
pickI love a curmudgeonly main character. They try so hard not to connect but end up on an adventure anyway. It's an unexpected collection of misfits that set out to save the wild magic of Britain.
May #bookspin complete! @TheAromaofBooks
so-soThere was a lot to like about this “buddy epic” rooted in ancient British legends and lore… but it stumbled in the moments when I craved emotional payoff most.
pick⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
“Greenteeth” was a charming read that started a bit slow until about the halfway mark. I enjoyed the ‘found family‘ trope and the mythology was a unique addition to the story.
pickThe mythology of Wales, England, and Scotland come to life in this fantasy novel about Jenny Greenteeth who finds herself going on an unlikely quest when a witch is drowned in her lake. Along with Temperence and a goblin named Brackus, she'll have to fight off a posessed pastor and protect the heart of Britain's magic. It's a charming and heartfelt story. A bit slow in the middle but great fun overall.
pick4/5
Jenny Greenteeth is the monster in the village lake, but when a witch, Temperance, is thrown in and doesn't even bother to try to save herself, Jenny gets curious about what's going on outside her lake. Temperance and Jenny must work together, along with the goblin Backus, to root out the evil that's infected the village and could be coming for Jenny's lake and all of Britain next.

The witch looked surprised to see me, her eyes blinking furiously at me through murky waters. I don‘t know why she was so astonished. It was my lake she‘d been thrown into; she should have expected I‘d come and see if there was anyone worth eating.

#bookspin: Greenteeth by Molly O'Neill
#doublebookspin: Will's Race for Home by Jewell Parker Rhodes
#bookspinbingo @TheAromaofBooks
pickMy first 5 star book of December. This book brings together great fairytale and folk lore. It has family both lost and found. Friendships and loss. It was also written in the most charming way. It's available on request from NetGalley and releases in February.
pickA lake monster, a witch, and a hobgoblin go on a quest to save their home from a malevolent force in a pastor‘s cassock in this darkly cozy fantasy that draws on British, Celtic, and Arthurian folklore. The slow pace had me skimming, and I didn‘t find the central plot the most compelling—I loved the parts that explored the challenges of friendship between the disparate companions, and I wish we‘d gotten more of that, especially from Brackus.
