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!
Congrats on finishing! Your blog is making my feed reader go crazy, so I am glad I noticed this on Twitter.
It’s just all your newly found posts, nothing is broken!
Thanks, Kailana, but my reads were nothing compared to yours. I still can’t get over it — 36 — wowsers.
Wow! brand new look
I love it
and congrats on finishing the challenge
Thanks, Veens!
Congratulations!
With all the Challenges I’ve signed up for, I’ve never done this one. One of these days . . .

Congrats on finishing the challenge! I didn’t do so well this time around but hey I’m already looking forward to Carl’s RIP challenge
Lezlie, if you like fantasy/myths, you should. Always in the spring and Carl has flexible rules so that you only have to read one book if you want!
Iliana, thanks. I always look forward to RIP as well.
