Hello! Do you love reading fairytale, folklore, and mythological retellings? I’m always on the lookout for new retellings to add to my TBR on Goodreads and review on my blog (links in bio). Please respond to this post or reblog with any recommendations you have.

Have you written a book that retells an old fairytale, folklore, or myth? I’ve done ARC reviews and interviews for other authors on my blog, promoting their books to fellow retelling lovers. If that’s something you’d be interested in, please send me a DM with a description of the book! I love supporting authors, be they self, indie, or traditionally published.

WENT TO THE MELBOURNE RENFAIRE AND HAD SO MUCH FUN!! It was so nice to just wander around with a friend, even if it was pouring rain.

And trinket trading!! That was my first time trinket trading!! I hand braided some bracelets, had some keys, cogs, ribbon flowers, beads, and had some wonderful interactions with people!!!

The Midnight Girls by Alicia Jasinska – Review

“It is not a fairy tale. And monsters like us don’t get happy endings.” In the wintery kingdom of Lechija, it is carnival or Karnawal season

i like when you see a little lizard go skittleskittleskitter and then stop & do some push ups

The dragon snarled. 'So, another foolish knight has come seeking my hoard." "Actually, I'm an accountant, and I'm here to audit your finances."

Even dragons need their taxes doing!

[eyelessfog]

a character who truly, legitimately goes “but why does that matter?” about their feelings when someone who cares about them asks. and the sudden falling of everyone around them’s faces as they realize that this person doesn’t recognize themself as someone who needs or should be taken care of. i want Everyone to hurt. surprise at the idea, worry for them, horror at not having noticed. do you see this person who doesn’t think of themselves as a person?

Thesis: a big reason so many romance stories make one or both characters wealthy is that part of the fantasy is being so materially secure that you can afford for your emotional and interpersonal feelings and problems to be the most important thing in your life.

Dunno if this is real or false memory but I grew up watching soviet cartoons and "cute sturgeon wearing a bandana over her head" was like a reoccurring character design. But I haven't been able to find any screenshots. So either slavic bandana sturgeon is lost media, an original idea that came to me in a dream, or Google is falling apart piece by piece and we wont be able to find anything online ever again

My book is out!!! It's on Amazon and Kobo in ebook format, looking at doing a paperback version later this year.

If you like mermaids, historical fantasy, heists, the 1920s and female friendship, you will adore Flappers, Fins & Fabulous Felonies

They really made Pitch Black get voiced by Jude Law, gave him a deep v-neck robe, huge gold eyes and beautiful cheekbones and said ' This dude won't have any fangirls at all. '
