It's November, and that means THIS is around the corner! I'll be going up to Alex VA for an event at Old Town Books on Sun 16th, 7pm. Hoping some of my NoVA friends can come! Miss you! And (wink-wink) this book would make a very cool holiday gift :)

An early birthday present that will arrive after my birthday when I have more time to read! You can also support your local independent bookseller by using
bookshop.org
& if you place your pre-order today, they're waiving shipping fees. (that's the way I chose, but b&n might be more economical.)
add a skeleton here at some point

Just read the book 2025 needs - Women of the Fairy Tale Resistance by Jane Harrington. Despite my love of fairy tales and studying children's literature for a while, I never knew the true origins of fairy tales in 17th century and the conteuses/female storytellers behind them. .
