Snagging some early bird points last minute- as you do!

Super low key TBR this time around. Trying to finish off my Storygraph challenges for 2023 while I have the chance. Wish me luck- I‘ll be contending with the yearly hell that is Nutcracker

This is what I like to call my "Calvino Corner". It also has a wooden duck that my grandfather made.

Some #fablesandfolklore from my collection, mostly unread but I like to flip through them and read a story occasionally. #uncannyoctober

OrangeMooseReads I have a copy of Best Loved Folk Tales, it was the text book for a folklore class I took. There are some interesting tales in there. 6y

Wonderful for anyone who likes folktales! Calvino has created a comprehensive tome here on the varied folktales of Italy. It's great if you want to read a new story each night, read one story over and over, or leave it by your bed to pick up whenever you need something new.
