Music Book Photo Challenge: May 4, 2025 Green Green Grass

She said, "Green, green grass, blue, blue sky You better throw a party on the day that I die"

This song and character combo is the entire reason I made this book photo challenge, so here's to hyperfixations I guess

What happens to the people the Princess leaves behind when she rides off with her Prince Charming? Castle Waiting follows a motley crew of misfits and castoffs who make their home in the crumbling castle that the Princess abandoned.

Women are central to the story of Castle Waiting. Lady Jain, a pregnant woman on the run from her abusive husband, is the main protagonist, but it is the bearded nun, Sister Peace, who steals the show. Through Lady Jain and Sister Peace, creator Linda Medley is able to subvert many fairy tale tropes and create a world where women have much more on their minds than wondering when their Prince Charming will come save them.
