Absolutely fantastic version of sleeping beauty. I really love when authors take an existing fairytale and completely turn it on its head.

Nevermind the astonishing amount of cat hair. Bastet has been rolling around.

Leftcoastzen So cute !😻 3d

Stormy outside, cozy inside.

This one is so good so far. I love T. Kingfisher's writing.

little #library haul. “Can‘t spell Tea without Treason” fulfills my libraries and the r/fantasy‘s bingo square for “Cozy”. The Burning God fulfills another bingo square. #

This was a fun little read. This is a fairy tale retelling of Sleeping Beauty. What if the fairy gifts weren‘t to protect the Princess, but to protect others *from* the Princess? It really is a charming little novella. Give it a go!

so-so

The princess is cursed to die by a spindle, she is stolen away & raised as ordinary. But her fairy gifts cause problems, & there is still the curse to worry about.

The scene setting is unparalleled, as I expected from McKinley, but lord the plot is glacial. I think I would have enjoyed this better as an audiobook as the writing is lush & lyrical. & I wasn‘t invested in the romance. I kept thinking Rosie & Peony should get together.🌕🌕🌕🌗🌑

TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!! This is one of my favorites, but I can definitely see how it's not for everyone as it is SUPER rambly! 3mo

Very in character for me to read a Sleeping Beauty reimagining - the theme for February‘s #fairytalereadingchallenge at the end of March… it kept me company on the train from Canberra to Sydney. I love Alix E. Harrow and this was enjoyable BUT calling girls who love Cinderella best vanilla right at the start. Ouch! The Disney version features the art and colour palette of Mary Blair AND Gus Gus! 😐

tpixie I agree - she was a little judgy judgy! Fun read though Sleeping Beauty returns in

Mirror Mended

thegirlwiththelibrarybag @tpixie, especially since she gave the romantic girls Beauty & the Beast 🤔 like ok? I am slowly working my way through her backlist - so I‘ll get to Mirror Mended, eventually! (edited) 4mo

tpixie @thegirlwiththelibrarybag my favorite is

Ten Thousand Doors of January

thegirlwiththelibrarybag @tpixie, I haven‘t read that one yet - even though the paperback is sitting patiently on my bookshelf 🫣 my favourite so far

Starling House

3mo

tpixie @thegirlwiththelibrarybag that‘s great also! I really enjoyed her novels. The Novelas were OK, but the novels were great. 3mo

thegirlwiththelibrarybag @tpixie, I‘ve really enjoyed her short stories too - she has a new one out (an Amazon exclusive unfortunately) the knight and the butcherbird. 3mo

tpixie @thegirlwiththelibrarybag oh! Thanks! I‘ll look for it. 3mo

Vanilla! Those are fighting words!!!

OrangeMooseReads 😄 they are indeed fightin words! Cinderella is anything but vanilla 4mo

lil1inblue 😂 I think I take issue with all of the descriptions. 😂 3mo

thegirlwiththelibrarybag @lil1inblue, fair! (In the main characters defence, she is a dying girl so she does relate to sleeping beauty) 3mo

Centique I always preferred Sleeping Beauty. Maleficient! Merryweather and Flora and Fauna! But then again the mice in Cinderella were awesome too 😍 3mo

thegirlwiththelibrarybag @Centique, both movies had concept art by Mary Blair (you can tell by the bold colour palette) so both top tier in my book! Gus Gus does have my whole heart tho! 3mo
