Welcome to Litsy!

This was a weird, but short little book. It's magical realism creating a “new fairy tale“. The shortness likely saved it from a lower rating since I didn't have to invest much time. Still worth reading? Maybe. After finishing, I read a review that made me think about the story a little deeper. With this, I saw some additional value in the story...it just had a bit too much of a blunt delivery to be something I could get myself truly invested in.

“Once there was a Postman who fell in love with a raven.” So begins the delightfully odd story by Audrey Niffenegger, which she illustrates as well. If you like offbeat stories, you may well enjoy this one.

This book fits the #chillingphotochallenge prompt #raven.

A wonderfully strange and sometimes dark modern fairytale about a mailman and a raven who fall in love and raise a raven girl and the extraordinary lengths that she must go to in order to feel whole while occupying two worlds in which she never quite fit. Beautiful illustrations too!

I found this short one odd and lovely. The postman and the raven and their daughter who longs to have wings and fly. The ending seemed rushed.

This is a beautiful little book. A modern fairy tale and a good story, up until the extremely abrupt ending. It was jarring and I don't really get why the author did it, but I like the book as a whole anyway. ❤️ the images.

There's some illustrations, it's a fairy tale story, and it's short to fit in between my bigger reads, just what I was looking for. But it left me a little disappointed. It was kind of melancholy for me and I was hoping for a more light hearted and happy tale. Maybe you will enjoy it, it's worth picking up from the library for a one sitting read.

What a strange, lovely little illustrated #modernfairytale. I have a feeling this story is going to rattle around my brain for quite a while. I may actually have to buy it for the times when I don't feel exactly comfortable in my own skin. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Weird little fairy tale about a half human, half raven girl.

Getting ready for a spooky #Readathon! It's dark and dreary here so the atmosphere is just right. Hope you can join us for @DeweysReadathon

Modern fairy tale about a girl becoming what she truly wishes to be.

I absolutely adored this fairy tale Niffenegger wrote to inspire the resident choreographer at the Royal Ballet in London. #bookgasm #24in48

I just stopped reading and uttered this to my #readathon companions. #24in48

Wanted to finish this one for the first half of #24in48 , but Morpheus calls.
