Little pieces of paper

Everywhere!  Little scraps of paper listing all the books that I want to read, all YA and children's books, mind you.   I stick to what I like.

Like fairytales!  And this is why I gobbled up Adam Gidwitz's A Tale Dark and Grimm .  Click on the title to watch a trailer for this book.  (I love book trailers!)

Talk about Grimm, the brothers Grimm, that is.  Gidwitz goes into all the gory and horrendous details that Disney and modern adapters like to cut out.   His warnings - he peppers the whole narratives with warnings - add a little levity to all the monstrous proceedings.  It's a great book but don't read it at night.
