Merry Wanderer of the Night [04/30/16] 

  • Fairy Tale Fortnight is officially over! This is our final post, one last time to speak while you are all listening, and we wanted to take this opportunity to express our thanks. It's a bit bittersweet actually. It will be nice for us to have our days back in our control, rather than being consumed with magic and wishes, witches a…

  • Fairy Tale Fortnight is drawing to a close. It's been a crazy event with 135 unique posts between the two blogs, not to mention everything that other people across the blogosphere have posted on their sites.Misty and Ashley have had a blast making this event happen, but now we want to know what YOU thought! We created this survey …

  • We wanted to cap off Fairy Tale Fortnight with something we believe to be pretty awesome. We've been talking for the last two weeks (and for the last few months, to each other) about how fairy tales are such an ingrained part of society, and everybody knows them and the references. And fairy tales are really meant to be read aloud…

  • In each of our interviews this Fortnight, Misty and I have been asking the authors a series of fun and silly questions. Then, we asked you the same questions in one of our giveaway (enter! enter!) We thought it would be a great to ask each other the same questions. So now you get to experience the inner (possibly twisted) workings…

  • Alright Fairy Tale fans! My last giveaway comes from author Regina Doman! She has generously offered a copy of any one the books in her fairy tale series to one lucky winner!Her series, A Fairy Tale Retold, covers several different fairy tale favorites. With five books in the series, Regina's stories retell the 1001 Tales, Sleepin…

  • The Sweetest Spell by Suzanne Selfors is a book that I hadn't even heard of until Misty and her magic fairy tale fortnight fingers managed to get a copy sent to my house. I read the synopsis and thought it sounded super... weird (escaped death because of a cow?! Churns milk into chocolate?! Chocolate conquers all?!) but then, I no…

  • The Sisters Grimm: The Fairy Tale Detectives by Michael Buckley was a charming middle grade novel about two young sisters. After they mysterious disappearance of their parents, Sabrina and Daphne are sent to live with their grandmother, a woman their parents had told them died long ago. Sabrina, the older sister, remains skeptica…

  • The Third Child: a fill-in from author Maureen McGowan There was an old woman who lived in a Birkin bag. She had 3 children, the bane of her existence. The first was a thick-headed, doltish son, who was prone to buying magic beans and geese that laid strange orange eggs. The 2nd was a beautiful but haughty daughter, who stared at …

  • As I've mentioned on the blog a time or two before, I come from a theater family. I'm pretty sure if you cut certain family members open they would bleed drama. My dad has been involved in every facet of theater but his real passion is technical design. His current job allows him to design sets, costumes and lighting designs. He's…

  • This post is just me casting lonely puppy dog eyes at fairy tales, both released and announced that I'm itching to get my hands on. There's a lot of them, but this is in no ways an all-inclusive list. There are a lot of really great looking retellings that got left behind, simply because the post was so long. For that same reason,…
