I have no idea what I am currently reading since I am still away on vacation. Possibly one of my graphic novels. But since I finished reading my book before leaving and didn't want to get into another before leaving I started reading some of fairy tales from Hans since I've had this book forever and have yet to crack it open! Here's a tease from The Little Mermaid.
Which was fun reading since I haven't read it in years. Can see where Disney got some influences and wow, this tale was pretty dark. Guess the Grimm bros weren't the only ones writing the scary fairy tales!

I'm linking the titles up to my reviews, be forewarned some of the ones from earlier this year still have some coloring and formatting from my old design. I didn't feel like going through everything and changing it all. It'll just be the titles and linky things like that, not the review itself!
Woah!! Cut off the tongue!! Yikes!
ReplyDeleteAnd great top 10 girl, I've read half of them and must agree!!

Great on both counts! I'm doing a mermaid Summer Reading Challenge so I'm reading lots of mermaid lit. I started with the HCAnderson version of The Little Mermaid. Also great TTT list. I really need to try to read me some Armentrout before the end of the year. :D Happy Tuesday!
