Fairy tales for #riot grams. From the traditional to the feminist-Jungian interpreted to the modern reimaginings. If only I hadn’t lent my copy of The Bloody Chamber to my sister! . . #fairytales #grimm #thebluefairybook #andrewlang #hanschristianandersen #womenwhorunwiththewolves #clarissapinkolaestes #theorphanstales #inthenightgarden #inthecitiesofcoinandspice #catherynnemvalente https://www.instagram.com/p/BoeUaEPFVgL/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1ihoxw5w1uakk

Normally I avoid series like the plague, but I will make the occasional exception for a duology or trilogy. These two are by two of my favorite authors, so that helps. . . #riotgrams #books #nkjemisin #catherynnemvalente #thebrokenearthtrilogy #theorphanstales #sff

I missed favorite leading ladies yesterday, but I couldn’t skip it altogether! So many leading ladies I’ve loved, it was hard to choose. Until I remembered the intensity with which I wanted to run out and get a Sigrid tattoo after The Orphan’s Tales, and dying my hair green after Palimpsest. Seeing Valente at a bookslut reading is a huge part of how I got into fantasy in the first place. All of these books are gold. . . #books #riotgrams #catherynnemvalente #theorphanstales
