Welcome to the launch of Magic, Myth, and Mischief, a month-long celebration of fairy tales, mythology, and other retellings, as well as fantastic beasts of lore such as dragons, fae, mermaids, and unicorns!

Retellings are some of my biggest life-long loves. Previously, I've co-hosted various Fairy Tale Fortnight events with Misty from The Book Rat, and hosted A Week of Cinder(ella), A Week of Little Red , A Week of Rapunzel, A Week of Snow White, and A Week of Wonderland, as well as tag-teaming with Jana from That Artsy Reader Girl earlier this year for A Week of Beauty and the Beast.  Jana and I have followed one another online for YEARS, but thanks to the OTSPSecretSister Project, where we were matched up, we've gotten to know one another better and want to do ALL THE THINGS together now because we have the same loves!

Last year, we teamed up for the first ever month of Magic, Myth, & Mischief, and had so much fun that we're back for round two! Check out my schedule of events from last year as well as Jana's!

Like in the past, we'll be posting something every day.  We have reviews, author interviews, giveaways, and more.  Stop back every day to see something new! 


On each post, you'll see something like this:
