Welcome to Litsy!

What to do when your fairy tale isn‘t going the way you want? Hire the Bastard Champions. For the right price, Jack, and his companions Frank and Marie, are just the scoundrels to get you out of trouble.

This is a romp where scoundrels dip into other fairy tales, while also pursuing their own goals. Fun characters, although Frank and Marie are my faves. I want to know more about the Narrative, so I hope there‘s going to be a sequel. 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑

Taking advantage of already reaching my NaNo word goal for the day to start my #LMPBC #GroupQ #Round13 book! I am so stoked for this round!

I finally caught up on the Of Slippers and Spindles podcast, which discusses fairy tale retellings. And they‘re doing Jack and the Beanstalk this month. The discussions of different adaptations reminded me of how much I liked the tagged book.

So #LMPBC #GroupQ we‘re doing Second Hand Curses by Drew Hayes for my quirky fantasy pick. I listened to it as an audiobook when it came out four years ago, and I loved it. I hope you all enjoy it too! 💚

Time for some fairy tales! 💫

1. I love retellings so much! Modernized, twisted, combined. I adore them all. Retellings may be my favorite sub genre of stories!
2. The Fitcher‘s Bird or The Twa Sisters
3. Tagged! This book was so much fun, and every time I predicted something, I was wrong.

This was an audible book for me and it was much more fun than I thought it would be. The main character is full of himself but the author does a good job of balancing his past and his personality to make him interesting. The use of fairy tales and a sort of bad good guys is fun and not too predictable. I enjoyed the voice acting and look forward to a sequel. 4/5 stars, read if you would want a darker version of Flynn from Tangled (the movie)
