Here’s my Tuesday Post
Have a GREAT day!
Old Follower 🙂
I want to read The Land of Stories series based off the covers alone. They’re amazing! The rest of these are new to me but they look like lots of fun. I’ll definitely have to add this to my TBR.
The Land of Stories made my list. I’ve only read the first one, but will probably read the rest of the series.

I’ve also only read the first one. I want to get the next two read by Christmas. I’m hoping the fourth one will be available at my school’s bookfair in paperback this year.
My oldest has read all four ( just saw #4 at the library last week, in fact and picked it up!). He enjoyed them all. I will probably listen to the audio with my youngest.
Interesting list. I look forward to looking into these more. I’m currently reading a book about the history of fairy tales so these would be a great follow-up. (In case you are interested, it is Once Upon A Time by Marina Warner.)
Thanks, Caryn! I will have to look into Warner’s book.
These look very interesting. I’m visiting from Booknificent Thursdays. Take care!
Most of these are brand new to me! Great to add to the Fairy Tale Retellings list 🙂
