| It's MIDNIGHT (EST, at least!), which means... YOU GET A GLASS SLIPPER. ...Okay, but seriously. ...UM, YOU DO. Details on how to win a one-of-a-kind slipper are coming later today! *ahem* ANYWAY! Today is a historical occasion. Not only is it the launch of the fifth annual Fairy Tale Fortnight, well...it's also the event's fifth anniversary. We're five years old!!! The event was conceived by the amazing Misty from The Book Rat, and I've had the pleasure of either participating in or co-hosting the event since it's beginning. This year, Misty and I are CELEBRATING. There will be confetti, cake, and birthday presents for all of you! We're going to go back in time to bring new readers some classic Fairy Tale Fortnight moments and remind long-time fans of their beauty. We're going to have some crazy surprises. We're going to have giveaways. We're going to have author visits. IT WILL BE EPIC!!! |
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!

***Most days, posts at ABS will be live at 9 am EST,
but I'll post the links before they're live for you as I can!
So don't be alarmed if a link isn't working YET when you click it!***
To commemorate five years of FTF, Misty and I have a few little fun bits planned, and each day, we'll both be linking back to a post from previous years as an ICYMI (In Case You Missed It), so that we can relive these fun moments and experience these fanciful books all over again. Happy reading and hope you enjoy!
