pickWhat a lovely book, laced with equal amounts of fable, adventure, insightfulness, and melancholy. The tales are short, but woven together in a tightly interconnected way that tells its own story. Dark, as true tales of faerie should be, elegantly eerie and haunting. Charles Vess‘ art is the perfect accompaniment. It‘s amazing to think it started out as Twitter tales! I loved it.
pickThis was an enjoyable reading experience, though I'm not entirely sure it came together -- some of the stories don't feel like they contribute to the narrative, but there is a strong narrative binding many of them together.
Aaand this helps me work toward one of the other lines I want to get in #BookSpinBingo. I'm on a roll, this month!
She often dreamed that if she believed, then one of these trains would stop for her and take her to a world in which magic was as everyday as science was in her own world, where animals spoke; where Kings and Queens rubbed shoulders with monsters, and witches, and fairies, and where Love was an adventure, not an ending to a story.
This is one of my most favorite physical books I own.

I am posting one book per day from my extensive to-be-read collection. No description and providing no reason for wanting to read it, I just do. Some will be old, some will be new. Don‘t judge me - I have a lot of books. Join the fun if you want.
