One of my favorite challenges is the Once Upon a Time Challenge, hosted by Carl of Stainless Steel Droppings. This is the third year, and I enjoyed both the previous rounds tremendously. Carl has a number of ways you can participate in the challenge, and I am choosing ‘Quest the First,” in which I will pick 5 books from the fantasy, folklore, fairy tales, or mythology genres.
