#CoolBooks #FairytaleEdition #day2 #Tale This isn‘t a book of children‘s fairytales. Well, it was until we started censoring fairytales & making them sugar sweet, instead of the morals tales they were meant to be. I much prefer the darker versions, I remember reading the Russian Baba Yaga tale when I was a kid, gave me nightmares of witches riding in mortars & pestles for ages, but it‘s stuck with me for almost 40yrs. Give me realism any day.

Linsy I‘ve wanted this one for so long! Gorgeous!!! 😍 6y
Kalalalatja I‘m so with you! 6y
JazzFeathers I agree. I think today's society is trying too hard to keep youths sheltered. But what will happen when they get out from under the bell? 6y
JacqMac Yes! I love my tales dark. My kids liked them dark, too. 6y

#CoolBooks #FairytaleEdition #day1 #Fairy I have so many Fairytale retellings, books about fairies or books that have fairies in them as side characters, but the Merry Gentry series is the most reread of the lot. I‘m total trash for these books, they‘re my #guiltypleasureread for sure. Mostly about the Unseelie & Seelie Sidhe(the ruling class of fairy) there‘s also plenty of pixies,🧚🏻‍♀️sprites, pukhas & troes. And sex. Lots & lots of sex.😳

2BR02B My friend recommended this to me recently- specifically because of the copious sex scenes! 😂 6y
Linsy Fun! I love fairy books of all sorts! But I have to admit, mine have been pretty tame up to this point. Now I know where to turn if I‘m looking to branch out! 💋🧚‍♀️💋 (edited) 6y
