Very loosely linked to “Snow White,“ but I was reminded more of the show “House.“ Anja is a problem solver more than a healer, awkward and blunt, but deeply committed to saving people with her knowledge of poisons and antidotes. When she's asked to discover what's ailing the King's daughter, she discover a bizarre, often horrifying world far beyond her rational, scientific knowledge.

pick‘London 1905- It begins when a toymaker comes bearing a unique Christmas gift for his favorite niece, Olivia: a handsomely carved nutcracker doll.‘
Finished in August. This was my December pick for the 2024 #FairytaleReadingChallenge.
#TheNutcracker
This is a very dark and mature reimagining. It‘s more like a horror story. Very well written.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I had six five-star reads in May 2025, so it was hard to pick the top one. Definitely honourable mentions to Sylvie Cathrall's A Letter from the Lonesome Shore and Sau Fong Chan's Chinese Dress in Detail! But Hemlock & Silver was a lot of fun, very characteristically a Kingfisher book with a really fascinating interpretation/retelling of the Snow White story.

pick‘Legends tell of a witch who became a queen—the heartless villain in the story of Snow White. But now the wicked queen is stepping out of Snow White‘s shadow to become the heroine of her own legend.‘
Finished in May for #FairytaleReadingChallenge (2024) #SnowWhite
Written as a prequel to Snow White. I didn‘t always like how modern thinking the characters are, but the story is good. I especially enjoyed all the witchy aspects.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
#Read2025
pick‘A little bit of faith. Misplaced trust. Missing pixie dust. And a villain who just needed to steal a little love.‘
Finished this in April for #FairytaleReadingChallenge (2024) #PeterPan
This is a very spicy, villain‘s dark romance. I rarely read romance, but I did enjoy the story. Not a retelling of Peter Pan. This is a modern tale with elements from Peter Pan woven into the story.
Book 1/Never After ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
#Read2025 #SeriesLove2025
pick‘The Heart‘s Desire Always Comes With A Price.‘
Finished in January for #FairytaleReadingChallenge 2024 #Rumpelstiltskin
‘As the seasons change, it‘s clear that something is terribly wrong. The creatures are real, and they‘re offering to fulfill the residents‘ deepest desires in return for just a small favor.‘
I always love Craig‘s books. This was a good story with great writing and detail.
