Welcome to Litsy!

Finally got my #BookspinBingo with the tagged! It‘s a powerful retelling of Snow White and Rose Red. The writing is beautiful with fascinating world-building, but OH: Every trigger warning 😳 I respect the achievement of the book, but it was horrifying. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Recommended only for those who like their fairy tales ink-dark and full of graphic sexual violence.

Breakfast is fully booked. 👌

Will any other Littens be at World Fantasy in LA (assuming it‘s not all on fire 🔥) later this week? #wfc2019

1. Snow White and Rose Red. No wait, East of the Sun and West of the Moon. No wait, The Red Shoes. Uh…
2. The evil queen from Snow White
3. Does Into the Woods count? I love the musical but haven‘t seen the movie. Otherwise, Disney‘s Cinderella.
4. @shanaqui Do you like fairy tales?

This is a definite #blameitonlitsy pick. @Lindy brought it to my attention when I posted about sisters Snow White and Rose Red and it sounded intriguing. It's supposed to be a very dark reimagining of the fairy tale with lots of triggers--so we'll see if I can hack it. That's the beauty of library books--if it isn't for me--or for me right now, back it goes and another book takes its place. 📚

1. Rose White and Rose Red. The tagged book is a creepy and disturbing retelling—trigger warnings for rape and incest. But I liked it a lot.
2. Shrek
3. 8:35 pm
4. As a mostly-vegan who is allergic to nightshades and hates anything spicy, it would be faster to list the things I will eat in a sandwich!

Nope. 3.5 discs in and I couldn't go any further. (12 discs total) If I can't be captured within a quarter of the book I'm not sure it will happen. I feel a little bad about it but not bad enough to keep going.

Deb‘s post about the Grimm‘s fairytale Snow White and Rose Red reminded me of this powerful retelling, which is not for the faint of heart (incest, rape, child abuse). #cottage

I guess I should have paid attention to the for 16+ warning in the corner. The start of the book was a 13 year old girl having a miscarriage, of a child fathered by her father. And it was pretty graphic, as was another subsequent incident. So far the story doesn't really jibe with what I expected from reading the blurb and picture. But I'm hoping that is the worst of it and am soldiering onward.

What an amazing #halloweengoespostal box this is from @moarbookspleaze The book selections are fantastic. I‘ve been wanting Tender Morsels forever!!! The other goodies are great too. I adore the Wonderland passport notebook🐇. The best thing that was in the box is the one thing that‘s not in this pic. I put it out on display immediately! I‘ll put it in a separate post. It‘s great!
Thanks again!!! @BookishMarginalia

A mesmerizing re-telling of the Grimm fairy tale Snow White and Rose Red.

#TBRtemptation post 5! I like the cover for this young adult fantasy. Liga lives modestly in her own personal heaven, given in exchange for her earthly life. Her 2 daughters grow up in this soft place, protected from the violence that harmed their mother. The real world invade my eventually--magicked men and wild bears break down the borders of her refuge. Having known Heaven, can the 3 survive where brutality exists? #blameLitsy #blameMrBook 😎

I am at home for the next few days with a chest infection on some areas of my lung have collapsed with that. Hoping to do a lot of reading and avoid the America V Australia 'we don't want these refugees. Well we don't want them either so you take them' sadness. Starting my reading with this. 50 pages in and a lot of rape.... Side Note I would yell at Turnbull also but about my lack of NBN... and so much more. 🇦🇺

That moment when you see shortbread in someone's Litsy post and you have to go make some. Litsy- dangerous for hips and wallets. 😂 📚🍪

I'm sure I've read a gazillion #fairytalerewrites but this version of the Grimm Brothers' "Snow White and Red Rose" is what came to mind. I read it a few years ago after it made and then was removed from Bitch magazine's 100 best feminist YA books.
I liked it but now don't remember much about it. ? #photoadaynov16 @RealLifeReading
