pickTook me a while but I read this graphic novel. It is an easy read but my mind has been too preoccupied lately.
This is the second volume of the Wires and Nerve duo. The first half was okay but the second half was more interesting.
3.5⭐️
pickA maiden loses a shoe, another moves in with a beast. We all know these tales…but who told them? In a spellbinding brew of literary history and travel writing, through their adventurous lives, unique settings, and, of course, the tales themselves, meet 7 “fairy tellers”: the young Syrian traveler who took Aladdin to Paris, the “ugly duckling” of “Ugly Duckling” fame, the widow behind “Beauty and the Beast,” the wife behind Wilhelm Grimm, and more!

My #bookreport.
📗 Winter Rose by Patricia A McKillip. A Tam Lin retelling. Agree with reviews that say language is beautiful and story is confusing.
🎧 Happily by Sabrina Orah Mark - a series of personal essays using fairy tales to explore motherhood, writing, race, grief, etc. Some are brilliant.
#Weeklyforecast - a break from fairy tales. 😉
📗 some Alice Munro ❤️
🎧 Finally getting to Cold Comfort Farm
bailedI've bailed from both my fiction reads for #ReadYourKindle this month. This one is interesting but too slow moving, & I'm finding myself making excuses not to read it so moving on.

pickThis was a Tailored Book Recommendation book from 2020. I could smack myself for taking so long to read it. Huang‘s writing is gorgeous. This is a lovely blending of Chinese and European folklore, a unique reimagining with characters from multiple stories. It‘s a tale of vengeance, guilt, family, and second chances. I was not ready for it to be over.
