The Story of Puss in Boots and Other Tales | Peter Holeinone

I picked up this book from the LFL a while ago, forgot about it, found it again during a bookcase cleanout, and read it in the midst of cleaning the bathroom. Cute illustrations, interesting twists on known stories, and several tales of trickery.

This is apparently part of a series, but I‘m skeptical that the author‘s name is really hole in one. 😆

Tales from Beyond the Rainbow: Ten LGBTQ+ Fairy Tales Proudly Reclaimed | Pete Jordi Wood

pick

Tales From Beyond the Rainbow, by Pete Jordi Wood (2023)

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💫

Premise: A collection of queer fairy tales, myths, and legends from around the world.

Review: One of the most damaging lies we‘re told is that queer identities are a new and shocking rupture in human society; that‘s why projects like this one, which collect folklore from around the world that address queer themes and identities are so important. Cont

Mattsbookaday While the stories here have been altered to better fit contemporary sensibilities, I loved that the editor was careful to discuss how and why they made the changes they did, and provided references to where the more traditional versions can be found. My problems with this collection were more to do with my issues with folklore as a whole, so I can‘t really hold that against it.

BkClubCare Yes! I have read only two: Wounded and Sandwich. Many on my tbr 🌟 4mo

Suet624 @BkClubCare usually, I end up putting old books that have been hanging around for a long time in my list and I‘m usually less than thrilled about the selection. This month I decided to include only books purchased within the last year or two. It feels good. Did you read Newman‘s first book? It‘s a good one. 4mo

BkClubCare No, haven‘t YET but it is has been on my tbr. I don‘t recall why exactly I read Sandwich when I did 🤷🏻‍♀️ 4mo
