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 all three years tremendously. Carl had a number of ways to participate in the challenge, and I chose ‘Quest the First,” where I chose 5 books from the fantasy, folklore, fairy tales, or mythology genres.

The books I read:
- Lost in a Good Book by Jasper Fforde (review to come)
- The Tales of Beedle the Bard by J.K. Rowling
- Twilight by Stephenie Meyer
- Dream Angus by Alexander McCall Smith
- Yarrow by Charles de Lint
I really liked all the books I read except Yarrow. I’m not going to give up on de Lint quite yet, though.
Now I’ll just look forward to the R.I.P. Challenge, Thanks, Carl!
