"You see, the land of Grimm can be a harrowing place. But it is worth exploring. For, in life, it is in the darkest zones one finds the brightest beauty and the most luminous wisdom.⁣ ⁣ And, of course, the most blood." (A Tale Dark and Grimm by Adam Gidwitz)⁣ ⁣ Fairytales are the most dangerous of tales. ⁣ ⁣ What fairytale retellings have you enjoyed? I love this middle-grade novel by Gidwitz. It's the perfect balance of deep darkness and sarcasm and hope and speckles of light.⁣ ⁣ Other favorites include Beauty and Spindle's End by Robin McKinley. I have not Lunar Chronicled yet (shocking, I realize). I tried Cinder a while back, and for whatever reason didn't get into it enough before it was time to return to the library, so it's on my list to try again.⁣ ⁣ #amreading #amwriting #amreadingfantasy #fairytail #grimm #adamgidwitz #RobinMcKinley
"Why are you taking a snack to the bath? How long do you plan to be there?" my husband asks.⁣ ⁣ I wave my book in response. He still thinks it's weird to eat or drink while you soak...⁣ ⁣ QotD: Do you eat or drink in the bath and what's your poison? ⁣ ⁣ I've had cookies, crackers, seltzer water, wine, ice cream, and milkshakes, to name the more common. A friend of mine is partial to nachos in the tub.⁣ ⁣ #amreading #amwriting #paranormalromance #writerlife #yabooks #bathtime #bathsnacks #annies #anniescheddarbunnies
