Fairy Tale Re-Tellings

For the longest time, I avoided fairy tale re-tellings. Even when an author I like came out with a fairy tale re-telling, it would take a long time before I’d finally read it. And when I read the book, I read it mostly because of the author. Do I still feel this way? Truthfully? YesContinue reading “Fairy Tale Re-Tellings”

Mid-Month News

Personal Anecdotes:Usually April brings warmer temperatures and the start of spring. However, winter decided to return for another visit. And then another visit. When I lived in South Korea, they’d say, ‘winter is fighting with spring.’ Honestly, I don’t think winter is fighting. It’s down right acting like the house guest who refuses to leave. Continue reading “Mid-Month News”
