Tinder by Sally Gardner is a dark fairy tale for adults. It's more akin to the dark & gory original fairy tales than the cleaned up versions made into Disney films. There's death, war, and violence. But somehow Gardner has maintained the fantastical narration we all associate with fairy tales. The illustrations by David Roberts were a perfect complement to the story. Sinister, stylized, and completely in black & white, with splashes of red. Together they made for a haunting & spellbinding read. * #funaekreads #funaekbooks #instabooks #instareads #spookybook #sallygardner #davidroberts #pugsandbooks #bookreview https://www.instagram.com/p/B6mIfD0gTpW/?igshid=ooj0l1ttnvvd

I have three posts coming up for the Christmas season and this is the first one. My Secret Santa of 2017 was Oly. The rules are simple, we have a small budget to buy (at least) one book and little details. I've known Oly since... forever and a day... although we've never met in person (2018 will be the year) and destiny made me her 'victim' again. She's so lovely and generous (see stories for the non bookish stuff). Happy Christmas Oly and everyone else!!!! . "I Coriander" was recommended to me by Laura and Magrat. This beautiful edition of Mme. Leprince de Beaumont's version of "Beauty and the Beast" was in my wishlist because I love that tale and I want to collect beautiful editions and retellings of it. Do you recommend any? . . Tengo tres publicaciones para estas Navidades y aquí está la primera. Mi mamá Noel invisible de 2017 es la niña @tdelibros (¡¡¡¡muchísimas gracias bruji!!!!). Las reglas son simples, tenemos un pequeño presupuesto para comprar (al menos) un libro y pequeños detalles. Conozco a Oly desde ... siempre... aunque nunca nos hemos visto en persona (2018 será el año) y el destino me convirtió en su "víctima" nuevamente. Ella es adorable y muy generosa (mirad mis stories para las cosas que no son libros). ¡Feliz Navidad Oly y todos los demás! . "I Coriander" me fue recomendado por @luathebookworm y @magratajostiernos . Esta hermosa edición de Mme. La versión de Leprince de Beaumont de "La Bella y la Bestia" estaba en mi lista de deseos porque me encanta esa historia y quiero coleccionar ediciones y retellings bonitos. ¿Me recomendáis alguna? . . . . . #Secretsanta #ChristmasPresents #Winterreads #Beautyandthebeast #ICoriander #Winter #currentlyreading #Fairytales #SallyGardner #LeprincedeBeaumont #books #bookstagram #literatura #libros #yoleoycomparto #yoleoyocomparto #bookworm #booklove #bookstagram #booklover #bibliophile #bookaholic #addictedtobooks #bookaddict #booknerd #IGreads #webtroverts (en Santander, Cantabria)
