#afairytaleathon

Here's a correct #WrapUp for the #afairytaleathon. And this time I have a photos of ALL nine books that I read! To see Max in the book photos, turn to Photos Four and Five! 😄😍❤ . . . . Photo Two shares the Reading Challenges with the books I read for them and why they counted. 😊 Photo Three shares an UPDATED, properly-numbered-this-time, list of all the books I read, when I read them, and how I rated them. 😊❤ . . . . Again, my #FinalStats were . . . 1,862 pages read, 9 books completed (6 graphic novels, 2 "true" novels, 1 e-book), 7 reading challenges DONE! 😄🎉❤ . . . . #DogsofInstagram #bookstagram #BillWillingham #MarkBuckingham #DelilahSDawson #KevinHearne #SarahHenning #HansChristianAndersen #books #FablesVolume4 #MarchoftheWoodenSoldiers #FablesVolume5 #TheMeanSeasons #FablesVolume6 #Homelands #FablesVolume7 #ArabianNightsandDays #FablesVolume8 #Wolves #FablesVolume9 #SonsofEmpire #KilltheFarmBoy #SeaWitch #TheLittleMermaid #series #Fables #FablesSeries #TheTalesofPell #TalesofPell

Here's my #afairytaleathon readathon #WrapUp and #FinalStats! I completed all of the Reading Challenges! 😄🎉❤ . . . . Kill the Farm Boy by Delilah S. Dawson and Kevin Hearne, pictured in Photo Three, worked for three of these challenges! One of the Fables volumes could probably have worked for challenge 3: a book with Fae, but I went ahead and counted Kill the Farm Boy for that challenge as well as for the 1st and 5th! Hopefully that's allowed! 😄❤ . . . . And yes, I did reread The Little Mermaid by Hans Christian Andersen! I had a hankering to revisit it after I finished Sea Witch by Sarah Henning, so I revisited it! 😀❤ . . . . All told, I read 1,862 pages in 6 graphic novels, 2 true novels, and 1 e-book. And I completed all seven reading challenges! 😄🎉❤ . . . . #DogsofInstagram #bookstagram #DelilahSDawson #KevinHearne #books #KilltheFarmBoy #series #TheTalesofPell

Today's August 19th task for #jcfaugust is to share something #onthehighseas. I found this photo of the ocean at ScienceStruck.com and inexpertly added the book I finished today and my Max to it. It's very hard to crop a dog's head, you know? 😉😍❤ . . . . Anyway, I enjoyed Sea Witch by Sarah Henning enough to give it four stars. 😊⭐⭐⭐⭐ . . . . And I know I've been really bad at updating you all on my reading for the #NEWTsReadathon2018 #magicalreadathon and the #afairytaleathon. I've been reading, though! I just have one reading challenge left to complete for the Fairytaleathon and I've completed eight of my second-tier N.E.W.T.s and three of my third-tier N.E.W.T.s! 😄🎉❤ . . . . #DogsofInstagram #bookstagram #SarahHenning #books #SeaWitch

It's here! It arrived! I have my @spearcraftbookbox for July! #WickedSeas! I'm so very happy that it arrived during the #afairytaleathon, because I saw via others' posts about this box that the book is the Fairytaleathon Group Book for this week and I didn't get it in time from my library! So I'm VERY happy that this box arrived on Fairytaleathon Day Four of Seven! 😄🎉📚❤ . . . . My library shows that the book is IN TRANSIT, so probably I'll be able to check it out NEXT Thursday, but Fairytaleathon will be over by then! 😭🙈 . . . . I bought the full July box, though, so what else did I get besides the book? 🤔 Scroll through the Photos! 🙄❤ . . . . Photo Two shares the spoiler card art, drawn by @dakotahblackart! 😍 And Photo Three shares what's in the box under the spoiler card! 😄❤ . . . . Photo Four begins my #unboxing. It shows four of the smallest things that came in this box: a Mermaid Metal Wrist Cuff Bracelet, a Poor Unfortunate Soul glitter candle from @@diocandleco (scent is salty sea water, papaya, and ocean breeze), a Be a Mermaid and Make Waves magnet from @spearcraftbookbox, and an Ursula inspired enamel pin from @laurastitesart! 😍❤😍 . . . . Photo Five shares the two bookmarks in this box: one of Ariel ("Who says that my dreams have to stay just my dreams?") from @spearcraftbookbox and the other inspired by Wicked ("Everyone deserves a chance to fly!") from @astrangerdream. Both of the bookmarks have the same image on both sides! And the bookmarks are shown with a pair of mermaid tail tall socks! 😍❤😍 . . . . Photo Six is a collage that shares both sides of the Little Mermaid inspired double-sided art print! And Photo Seven shares a Wicked inspired quote sticker ("People who claim that they're evil are usually no worse than the rest of us . . . It's people who claim that they're good, or any way better than the rest of us, that you have to be wary of."). Both the print and the sticker are from @spearcraftbookbox! 😍❤😍 . . . . And last but certainly not least, in Photo Eight, THE BOOK! It's Sea Witch by Sarah Henning! I am so thrilled to have it! It came with a signed bookplate & a letter from the author, @shhenning! 😍❤😍

This post is to update you all on what I've read for the #NEWTsReadathon2018 #magicalreadathon and the #afairytaleathon that are going on now. I don't think I posted an update yesterday. Why not? Because I only read to page 55 in Fables Vol.4! 😭😭😭 . . . . So today I finished Fables Vol.4 and then read The Boy Who Never Gave Up: Stephen Curry by Anthony Curcio AND Fables Vol.5! 😄❤ . . . . So, my updated Stats-to-Date for my N.E.W.T.s on August 14th: 3,264 pages read, 15 books completed, 15 reading challenges DONE! See Photo Two for the books I've read and will read for tier-two! 😄🎉❤ . . . . My Stats to Date for the Fairytaleathon on Day Two, August 14th: 397 pages read, 2 books completed, 1 reading challenge DONE! 😊🎉❤ . . . . Incidentally, Fables Vol.5: The Mean Seasons was book 200 of 200 needed to complete my Goodreads challenge! I'm DONE! 😄🎉❤ Now to see if I can read enough to complete my true goal of 250 books read for the year! 😄❤ . . . . #DogsofInstagram #bookstagram #BillWillingham #PCraigRussell #CraigHamilton #MarkBuckingham #AnthonyCurcio #TonyAtkins #books #FablesVolume4 #MarchoftheWoodenSoldiers #TheBoyWhoNeverGaveUp #StephenCurry #FablesVolume5 #TheMeanSeasons #series #Fables #FablesSeries

Today's August 5th task for #jcfaugust is to share #aclassicretold. On top, I have an anthology of short stories that are all fairy-tale retellings! I love The Starlit Wood, edited by Dominik Parisien and Navah Wolfe, and I'm hoping to reread it for the #afairytaleathon that's coming up soon. 😄🎉😍❤ . . . . On the bottom are two books that I am also hoping to read - first times! - in the #afairytaleathon: Kill the Farm Boy by Kevin Hearne and Delilah S. Dawson and Everland by Wendy Spinale. Everland is a retelling of Peter Pan and Kill the Farm Boy is a retelling of Chosen One stories that feels very much like it might be a riff on The Princess Bride! 😄🎉❤ . . . . And have you noticed that all of my photos since I posted that blue #jcfaugust photo have been collages? I'm hoping to do collages every day in August as a new theme! 😄🎉😍❤ . . . . Since Max's head couldn't be in the first photo, turn to Photo Two to see a better view of him! 😍❤😍 . . . . #DogsofInstagram #bookstagram #DominikParisien #NavahWolfe #DelilahSDawson #KevinHearne #WendySpinale #books #TheStarlitWood #KilltheFarmBoy #Everland #series #TalesofPell
