Once Upon a Time II

March 22, 2008 at 10:54 am · Filed under Books Etc

What with reading my first book for this challenge yesterday, I completely forgot to post my list of books and actually, you know, sign up for the challenge. Once Upon a Time II runs for 3 months, from March 21 through June 20 (and links to reviews can be posted at the Review Site.) During that time, I will complete Quest the First by reading 5 books that fit the challenge’s criteria: fantasy, folklore, fairy tale, or myth. Since I already read a lot of fantasy, I want to choose books that specifically have a folklore, fairy tale, or mythic feel to them.

  1. Widdershins » Charles de Lint (myth)
  2. The Complete Quin & Satterthwaite » Agatha Christie (folklore)
  3. Beauty » Robin McKinley (fairy tale)
  4. Ironside » Holly Black (fairy tale)
  5. Sorcery & Cecelia » Patricia C. Wrede & Caroline Stevermer (fantasy)

Thanks! Your review was one of the ones I read that inspired me to read it!

It looks like Shannon Hale novels are a popular choice for this challenge. I have her book The Goose Girl on my list!

The Goose Girl would be a perfect choice. When I signed up, I was kind of wishing I hadn’t just finished reading it! Her other books have a fairy tale feel to them too, though.
