#HauntsAndHexes Day 3: I remember my colleagues in Singapore and myself (I am the witch in black lols) dressing up in #Costume as part of our annual corporate staff lunch. We were the organizers, and our theme was, as to be expected, Happily Ever After, fairytales. 🥰 This must have been in 2016 or 2017. Fun times.
pickYou think the Grimm fairy tales are dark and twisted. Just wait until the women of the story decide that they‘ve had enough.
13 beautiful, lyrical, and dark retellings of 13 different fairy tales. I desperately need to listen to these on audio during a dark autumn evening. All about the patriarchy‘s control of our bodies and voices, and the feminine rage unleashed to control our stories. 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌗
Many, many years ago lived an emperor, who thought so much of new clothes that he spent all his money in order to obtain them; his only ambition was to be always well dressed.

My June #bookspinbingo and #ispy bingo cards
No bingos for me but I did read a lot of new books I can now take of my #mountTBR
I picked up this book from the LFL a while ago, forgot about it, found it again during a bookcase cleanout, and read it in the midst of cleaning the bathroom. Cute illustrations, interesting twists on known stories, and several tales of trickery.
This is apparently part of a series, but I‘m skeptical that the author‘s name is really hole in one. 😆

1. Latin. I learned a little bit while in school because medical terminology uses a lot of Latin, but learning roots, prefixes and suffixes isn't the same as learning to speak a language.
2. I haven't read any but my husband has some German books. There is a Grimms Fairytale that is German on the left and English on the right.
