For more reviews, check out my blog: craft-cycleI will start by saying that I love reading retellings, especially fairy tale retellings. I don't recall really liking fairy tales all that much growing up, but now as a adult, I cannot get enough of fresh spins on the classics.However, I was kind of di...
t's interesting using this book in a class. The Swan stories are the most popular, and the quiet ones about relationships confuse people for some reason. I liked "Warm-Mouth" far more on this re-read.Old ReviewThere is a misnomer on the cover of this book. Some short stories in this volume have not...
An eclectic collection of re-imagined tales by some well-known and respected authors, primarily hailing from the fantasy/science fiction section. As in most anthologies, there is variation in the quality of the stories-hence the three-star rating. Some were pretty experimental, while others more c...
I'm reviewing this from my own personal copy - I did not receive an ARC for review.I have to say this is one of the strangest books I've ever read. Okay, maybe not, but it's way up there. Top 20. That's not a bad thing. It was quirky with both likeable and hateable characters, with some squirmy situ...

For all intents and purposes this book is a one star. However, I am generously adding a half star and rounding up for reasons that I will explain further on. In general, this was me reading Tampa: First, let it be clear that this isn't a one star because I was horrified at the subject matter. After ...
1 ½ stars. Tried too hard to be shocking that it forgot to be interesting.For all intents and purposes this book is a one star. However, I am generously adding a half star and rounding up for reasons that I will explain further on. In general, this was me reading Tampa: First, let it be clear th...
Nope, this should be banned, it should be stricken from Amazon, it should have never made it past their filters. I do believe that Amazon content rules specifically bans child pornography and the depiction of children in erotic scenes... Yet, somehow it is okay for this author to depict an adult...
Alissa Nutting is a good writer - I gave this book 4 stars after all. I'm not so sure about "innovative" fiction however. There is something about it that makes me feel alienated from what I am reading; makes me conscious of how unhip I am; makes me want to shout "Silence whippersnapper!" in my be...
