10 posts | 1 read | 1 reading | 6 to read
An enchanting treasury of fairy lore! Around the corner, behind the bushes, and just out of sight...fairies have spent hundreds of years weaving their way in and out of our homes and gardens to spread their magic. Featuring folklore, mythology, and poetry from around the world, this lovely collection reveals these ethereal spirits' extraordinary powers and the history behind their existence. From the case of the Cottingley fairies in the early twentieth century, whose photographs fooled thousands (including Arthur Conan Doyle), to the mischievous fairies found in Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream, the fascinating stories surrounding these magical sprites are sure to captivate anyone who has ever dreamed of catching one hiding deep within her flowerbed. Whether you're interested in exploring the history and culture or just want to learn more about fairies' powers and trickery, you'll love plunging into the enchanting tales that bring these whimsical creatures to life. Complete with hundreds of lovely illustrations, Fairies reveals the magnificent beauty of these mesmerizing sprites as well as their knack for causing mischief.

Hello Littens! About 5 minutes ago my brain said, "Hey, I want a romance novel about faries!" And I don't have one to give it. ? Any recommendations for your best faries/fey romance novels would be appreciated ❤❤ Thank you in advance!

Zelma If you don‘t mind YA, I really liked this one (though I never read the rest of the series) (edited) 6y
theresidentromantic @Zelma Thanks! I have read it and I definitely enjoyed it. I liked that he lived in a Train car XD 6y
Riveted_Reader_Melissa The whole series is great, but start with the first one. 6y

theresidentromantic @Riveted_Reader_Melissa Thank you! I've read all her books, she's amazing 😍 6y
Riveted_Reader_Melissa @theresidentromantic have you read her Urban Fantasy series too that spins off of the Highlander books? 6y
Riveted_Reader_Melissa How about Mercy Thompson.... 6y
theresidentromantic @Riveted_Reader_Melissa I'm not big on Urban Fantasy, but Patricia Briggs has been on my radar for a while. Do you like her? And yep! I like the Highlander books more, but I've read a good portion of the Darkfever books. I like her almost as much as Sherrilyn Kenyon. 6y
theresidentromantic @trazo That sounds so cute!!!! Thanks, I might order this one tonight 6y
trazo @theresidentromantic please let me know what you think if you read it. I really enjoyed it! 6y
Riveted_Reader_Melissa @theresidentromantic Definitely try Mercy, I love her. Werewolves, and a large fae contingent. 6y
Riveted_Reader_Melissa How about the Iron Druid series, first book 6y
theresidentromantic @Riveted_Reader_Melissa That's a staple in my house. Atticus is the only man for my fiance. 🤣😂 It sounds like we have similar tastes! I appreciate all your suggestions. I think I've stumbled on a lacking genre... 6y
Riveted_Reader_Melissa I haven‘t read the Dark Swan series yet.... But maybe (edited) 6y
Riveted_Reader_Melissa I have read Cainsville though and really liked it, huge fae storyline, first book is 6y
theresidentromantic @Riveted_Reader_Melissa I added Omens to the stack!! Thanks, I've never heard of that author. @trazo I ordered your suggestion! Thank you! 6y
Riveted_Reader_Melissa @theresidentromantic Success! Figured we‘d find something you haven‘t read eventually. Armstrong‘s other series is pretty good also Women of the Otherworld, first few books are more werewolf centered, later ones cover witches, demons, etc as the world grows. Not really fae based, but good if you are interested. The Cainsville series however is exclusively fae centered, with different factions vying today, & a romantic triangle to start. 6y

Inside that lovely little building is a place called Hair Fairies where you can have your children‘s heads (and your own if necessary) professionally nit picked. My 15 year old (really??!!) came home with lice and while I am big on DIY, I‘ve been there done that so this time gave it to someone else to deal with. Paying the bill, all I could think of was how many books I could have bought. It could have been worse-I‘m clean and so is my oldest 🙄

Mommamanzi I have girlfriends in the hair industry that come to your house and do it as well. I've thought about it, but knowing my luck I would take them home with me! Good luck, I hope it only needed one treatment! 7y
ErickaS_Flyleafunfurled Oh my god - been there with my kid too. I would‘ve paid someone if I could have! It‘s worth it. 7y
Lola @Mommamanzi Thanks! Her hair is so long and thick, we‘re going back Monday to do one more treatment just to be sure. What a business! If I was the owner, I wouldn‘t need to worry about a book budget 😂 7y

Mommamanzi @Lola that's smart. Crossing my fingers for y'all! 7y
Lola @ErickaS_Flyleafunfurled Yeah, last go round, I thought my friends were silly to spend money on this when really it‘s not THAT to do yourself. But it‘s yucky and tedious and I just didn‘t want to deal....plus, they guarantee their work so.... 7y
BarbaraBB I‘d want such a shop here - despite the book budget! 7y
Lola @BarbaraBB Perhaps a potential business partnership.... I‘ve always wanted to go to Amsterdam 🙂 (edited) 7y
BarbaraBB So there we go - our book budget will go sky high 😂😂! 7y
Lola @BarbaraBB I like it! 😍 7y
Tamra My worst nightmare for my daughter. I don't know how you could even see them in African hair. I'm afraid her head would have to be shaved. 😖 7y
Lola @Tamra There were two clients-Mom and daughter-being treated while we were there. Time consuming for sure but their hair was definitely treatable. 7y
Tamra @Lola 😧 I can only imagine the cost if by the hour. 7y
Lola @Tamra Exactly....😬 7y

My first #BookFairies drop off, at my favorite pet store last night! I hope it finds someone who will really love it!
