TIL Ginnifer Goodwin assumed OUAT producers Edward Kitsis and Adam Horowitz were inspired by historical figure Maria Sophia Margaretha Catharina von Erthal for her character Mary Margaret. Hint: they had no clue who she was referring to. Neither did I while googling for Snow White retellings and the blog linked in comments came up during my search. ⬇️

I took a walk around the block and was immediately put in kitty jail on my return. While serving my time I finished Toni Sarnicola (nom de plume Jenna Jacobs) debut. The collection of horror short stories are good except for the CW of animal cruelty in Funeral for Birds. Also checked off for #20in4 are the traditional and retelling of Aladdin.

Tagged book wasn‘t planned on being part of #20in4. Since I had Thursday off I figured I do some warm up reading aaaaand I had a deja book moment. Apparently I read this one before? I don‘t recall much of this book except Strawberry Spring, Jerusalem‘s Lot, Last Rung on the Ladder, and of course Children of the Corn.

I was thrilled to see tagged book be released as an audiobook and I‘m finally getting around to listening to the Libro.fm I bought months ago. I tried so many times to read print version only to give up because how meticulous Hutton is with his research of modern Paganism.
Pistachio on the other hand was not as delighted as I was and immediately fell back asleep once I stopped annoying him to pose for a pic. #catsoflitsy
