For many many reasons, not least of which is that it's time for the Once Upon a Time challenge! YAY!I am going to do Quest the Second again this year, which is (at least) one in each category. And because I like lists, here's my four proposed books:
1. Fantasy: Wee Free Men, Terry Pratchett (I've been meaning to read this one for a couple of years now.) and/or Aurelia, by Anne Osterland
2. Fairy Tale: Fire and Hemlock, Diana Wynne Jones or The Ordinary Princess, by M.M. Kaye (I can't decide; I may have to read both)
3. Folklore: Here Lies Arthur, Phillip Reeve (One of these years, I ought to branch out and read something other than an Arthur book... but not this year.
4. Mythology: The Last Olympian, Rick Riordan (can't wait, can't wait!!)
I suppose it's mildly unreasonable to be so excited about this challenge, but there you have it: I love it, and I can't wait!
11 observations:
one of these days I will have to get the Riordan books they really sound interesting.. will look forward to that review and Fire and Hemlock too!
Your list includes two of my all-time favourite books - The Wee Free Men and Fire & Hemlock. Happy reading!
I am so excited about The Last Olympian. I forgot to add it to my monster-list last night. But if I get it when it comes out in May--and I don't think I could really resist--I'll definitely be reading it!
Happy reading!
I think you need to read both Fire and Hemlock AND The Ordinary Princess. They are both great books. Happy reading.
I never heard of this one but I'm so signing up.
Great to have you in the challenge, thank you so much for signing on! I want to read Fire and Hemlock myself at some point. I've heard many good things about it.
You have a great list. Can you believe I've never read anything by Riordan before? I added The Lightning Thief to my list. Happy reading!
I really like Fire & Hemlock. I might have to reread that one of these days!
I haven't read any of these, so I really look forward to reading your reviews! Enjoy!
No worries about being excited about this challenge. I don't think you are the only one!
