Fairy Tales
First, a review of The Book of Lost Things. I enjoyed it, mostly for its take on a few classic tales, and the fairy tale format of the main story itself. That said, if you're not already a fan of fairy tales and, especially, alternative fairy tales, then this is perhaps not the book for you. The link above will take you to a full review with more details (and some spoilers), but if I wasn't already in love with the source material, I seriously doubt I would have enjoyed this book half as much as I did.
On a related note, I'll be in Oxford, CT this weekend, telling tall tales to children. And hopefully a few adults. Because children are notoriously bad tippers. ;) Seriously, though, if you're even remotely in the area, you should come check out The Midsummer Magick Faire.
I'm going to be staying in NYC and will be arriving around 1 or 2 Thursday afternoon. My sister/hostess will still be at work, and I--having been trapped on a bus all day--will probably be bored and/or hungry. You should come hang out with me.
You should also do me a huge favor and fill out this survey for my sister's marketing class. How is this a favor to me, you ask? Well, the sooner she makes significant headway on this project, the more time and attention she can spend on me while I'm visiting! So go! Click.
