Today is the day that fairy tale lovers have been waiting for, the dawn of the fourth annual Fairy Tale Fortnight! The event was put together by the amazing Misty from The Book Rat, and I've had the pleasure of participating for the past two years. This year, I'm once again honored to be co-hosting the event.

It's the most wonderful time of the year!!!!
I'd sing, but I don't want Mother Nature to think it's okay to start snowing in April...again. *ahem*
But it truly IS a wonderful time, and I always look forward to it.
Misty and I have so many reviews, guest posts, author interviews, discussions, giveaways, and more for you. I hope you have as much fun as us for the next two weeks! Stop back every day to see something new!

When you see this, you can click the text that says "A Backwards Story" or "The Book Rat" to return to the FTF Main Page on each blog, where you can access the schedule, navigate to posts that have already gone up, see what's coming next, and find out how you can get involved! Also, feel free to snag the button or banner to share on your sidebars, or in your own fairy tale posts! (Both are fully resizable.)
Here is Misty's Official FTF Schedule, which will be updated daily! There's also a Participation Linky for anyone posting about fairy tales during the next two weeks who wants to link up!
I'll continue updating my own schedule with what's going on at A Backwards Story right here on this post, because that's probably easier for some of you to keep up with, right? So mark this post for the next two weeks!
