The Bright Sword | Lev Grossman

pick

In this fun adventure, miracles like King Arthur‘s Excalibur and the Holy Grail are wonders to be attained, treasures to end quests and determine fates. Peace resides in acknowledging that we live in a bright world, shining with age-old miracles, and we just have to be near those marvels, to acknowledge their preciousness, rather than take hold of them. The relics here are like memories. They are special, but can never quite be fully grasped.

He asks, “Where to, Princess?”
“The stars.”

A Spindle Splintered | Alix E. Harrow

pick

Very in character for me to read a Sleeping Beauty reimagining - the theme for February‘s #fairytalereadingchallenge at the end of March… it kept me company on the train from Canberra to Sydney. I love Alix E. Harrow and this was enjoyable BUT calling girls who love Cinderella best vanilla right at the start. Ouch! The Disney version features the art and colour palette of Mary Blair AND Gus Gus! 😐

tpixie I agree - she was a little judgy judgy! Fun read though Sleeping Beauty returns in

Mirror Mended

thegirlwiththelibrarybag @tpixie, especially since she gave the romantic girls Beauty & the Beast 🤔 like ok? I am slowly working my way through her backlist - so I‘ll get to Mirror Mended, eventually! (edited) 5d

tpixie @thegirlwiththelibrarybag my favorite is

Ten Thousand Doors of January

See All 7 Comments

thegirlwiththelibrarybag @tpixie, I haven‘t read that one yet - even though the paperback is sitting patiently on my bookshelf 🫣 my favourite so far

Starling House

tpixie @thegirlwiththelibrarybag that‘s great also! I really enjoyed her novels. The Novelas were OK, but the novels were great. 4d

thegirlwiththelibrarybag @tpixie, I‘ve really enjoyed her short stories too - she has a new one out (an Amazon exclusive unfortunately) the knight and the butcherbird. 4d

tpixie @thegirlwiththelibrarybag oh! Thanks! I‘ll look for it. 4d

A Spindle Splintered | Alix E. Harrow

Vanilla! Those are fighting words!!!

OrangeMooseReads 😄 they are indeed fightin words! Cinderella is anything but vanilla 5d

lil1inblue 😂 I think I take issue with all of the descriptions. 😂 5d

thegirlwiththelibrarybag @lil1inblue, fair! (In the main characters defence, she is a dying girl so she does relate to sleeping beauty) 4d

Centique I always preferred Sleeping Beauty. Maleficient! Merryweather and Flora and Fauna! But then again the mice in Cinderella were awesome too 😍 1d

thegirlwiththelibrarybag @Centique, both movies had concept art by Mary Blair (you can tell by the bold colour palette) so both top tier in my book! Gus Gus does have my whole heart tho! 1d

Vinegar Girl | Anne Tyler

pick

A funny retelling of Shakespeare‘s Taming of the Shrew. Anne Tyler sets this novel in Maryland. Kate Battista feels stuck in life. She‘s been caring for her scientist father and younger sister, seemingly forever. Her father is researching autoimmune diseases and his brilliant assistant is about to be deported. Pytor must either reapply for a visa or marry to be eligible for a green card. Unusual characters and circumstances abound. 3.5/5⭐️
