    I've decided that I just love fairies in general, although I think my current favorite is the Wicked Lovely series (maybe that's because I'm in the midst of reading it?) and you and I both know I could truly use this book.... :-D Whee!! (amccleve (at) gmail (dot) com

  8. I have read Wicked Lovely and Ink Exchange but not Fragile Eternity yet:)

    I like Karen Marie Moning's Fever series..they have creepy fey.

  9. Hmm, I would probably have to say The Two Princesses of Bamarre, by Gail Carson Levine. Actually, I love pretty much all of her fairy tale retellings. :)

    I've heard great things about Melissa Marr's series, but I actually haven't read any of them yet :( Hopefully that can change soon though lol
    Thanks for the awesome contest!

  10. I've not read very many fairy stories, and the 2 I've tried recently didn't really work for me. This is probably silly, but the best fairy tale I can come up with was some fictional fairy tales in AS Byatt's possession, which talked about the Lamia. I'm really looking forward to reading Melissa Marr's work.

  11. Maybe this sounds dark - but I really love the fairy tale Blackbeard and all the renditions of it. I ended up taking a Mythology and Fairy Tale class in college and wrote a paper on the parallels between the Buffy episode Ted - and the fairy tale of Blackbeard. It was a fun paper. I also love the graphic novel series called Fables - which has a Blackbeard character in it. :)

  13. So far Tithe come to mind but FAIRY TALE by Cyn Balog and WONDROUS STRANGE by Lesley Livingston comes in close! A re-telling on Cinderella that I just read that was quite good happens to be called ASH by Malinda Lo. Definitely check it out!

  15. Not quite sure what my favorite fairy series would be. I guess I'll just have to go with Melissa Marr's books. The first two in this series, Wicked Lovely and Ink Exchange, were really great. I'm soooo looking forward to this one.

    So please enter me!

    Thanks for the contest :)

    I recently read Ink Exchange and I'm desperate to see how it all is going to end! I need the next book :) I remember this book, Faerie Tale by Raymond E Feast, which had evil fairies and scariness and a big spider...it was awesome! I do love me a bit of Labyrinth, though.

    I like the Tam Lin re-tellings. Any of them. Never get tired of it. Like the recent Heir to Sevenwaters by Juliet Marillier. Almost seemed Tam-lin-ish to me.

    I'd like to participate in the prize-winning! Um, I guess my email is: this_is_shar@live.com

  22. I like Gail Carson Levine's fairy tale retellings too. My favorite fairy tale has always been beauty and the beast though.

  30. I honestly love everything to do with fairies. When I was younger, I was obsessed with Tinkerbell and all Disney and other fairy tales. The Wicked Lovely series is one of my favourite fairy series. :)

    It involves fairies, so I suppose it counts...

    My favorite fairy tale is actually part of the original Peter Pan book (not the Disneyfication). I had an illustrated version of the story as a child, and it always seemed so poignant to me when Peter is lost in Covent Garden with the fairies, and later finds out that he can never go home to his mother. The illustrations were realistic, and really added to the sense of darkness in the story. I don't think I could have articulated that at the time, but I think that's why I likes it.

  33. I'd love to enter. I just finished Wickely Lovely and Ink Exchange arrived today. My favorite book dealign with fairies as of late is Lament. I can't wait for the next book.

  34. I would love to enter this contest. I love the wicked lovely series, but my favorite fairy series would have to be the new series, wonderous strange.

  35. My favorite is Little Red Riding Hood, that's probably why the Paranormal is my favorite genre to read! Love reading about werewolves and vampires.

    ReplyDelete
  36. I adore all of Robin McKinley's fairy tale re-tellings, but a more recent favorite is Delia Sherman's Changeling. New York itself is an alternate fairy world, and the different creatures and epic adventure make the book a wonderful reading experience.

    But Tithe by Holly Black is close in my books.

  41. You know, in all honesty, I can't think of any books that I've read (of the contemporary vein) that have had fairies in them...that's bizarre, because I know I've read some. Does Leven Thumps have fairies?

    I do have a special love for A Midsummer Night's Dream by William Shakespeare, which has a heck of a lot of fairies. Hopefully that counts.

    Anywho, email in profile and thanks for the giveaway!

  48. My favorites would be a toss-up between Marr's series, and Wondrous Strange (which I hear is the beginning of a series) The Merry Gentry series is another that I enjoy but not as much.

On Angie, the Relative Scarcity Thereof

I've been a bit scarce round these parts of late and I feel badly about it. But there is a good reason and I've been waiting until today to share it with you.

I, for one, am relieved.

Forever Blog Tour + Giveaway!

I'm awfully excited to be a part of this unique blog tour in celebration of the release of Forever by the insanely talented Maggie Stiefvater .  Scholastic recently launched an online community called  This Is Teen  to connect readers with their favorite YA authors and books. Visit their page on   Facebook   for all the latest news on   Maggie Stiefvater   and   Forever .  Each stop on the tour is hosting a particular character from the Wolves of Mercy Falls trilogy, and I have the good luck to be the stop for Sam--my favorite emo-wolfboy!  Sam is so very endearing, in a decidedly non-angsty or overt way. His breathtaking blend of maturity and vulnerability tugs at my heartstrings and the strength of his relationship with Grace is unswerving.  He is warm and thoughtful and artistic, and I liked him right from the start of the series . Because I can't resist, here are two of my favorite Sam quotes, the first from Grace's point of view in  Shiver and the second from Sam&
