Kissing the Witch by Emma Donoghue... Thoughts

Overall Impression: I'm already biased in favor of books with re-told fairy tales, as they happen to be a particular fondness of mine, but Kissing the Witch exceeded my expectations and drew me thoroughly into a dreamy world where the stories stirred memories of the tales I have known since I was a child, and then proceeded to twist them into something new. Highly Recommended.

Behind the Pine Curtain by Gerri Hill... Thoughts

Overall Impression: A nicely paced, lovely read. Good for an afternoon or evening when you don’t want to think too hard. Recommended for those looking for a nice romance.

Tangle Girls edited by Nicole Kimberling... Thoughts

I should preface this by saying that I struggle with short stories. They're just so....short. I liked Tangle XY better, and I think that this is because Tangle XY was anchored by two novellas, one of which was by Ginn Hale. Those two novellas helped me navigate the shorter stories with a bit more tolerance.

Overall Impression: Conflicted, as I am with many anthologies.
