another thing I like about east is that superstition and religion and other belief in stories or gods or trolls or other creatures feels like it is evaluated on a very individual basis. the mother believes in everything, crazy rare superstitions included. the father doesn't believe in much of anything, although he assumes some of those superstitions by osmosis over time. neddy loves stories and it's not very important whether he believes in them.

it's just more interesting to me than everyone in a society not believing in magic and the main character discovering it's real, or everybody believing in it and the main or a side character learning to believe in it as well or debunking it completely as a scheme. I like that there exist magic and mythical creatures, but that the author didn't feel the need to underline that one way or another, and it makes the supernatural event that really begins the story all the more exciting and arresting because there's no blueprint for how the encounter is supposed to work

Ayo shoutout to fairytale retellings that are written for actual preteens/young teens, here are some of my favorites;

Note note: These ones specifically are all appropriate for young audiences, say a hyperlexic little girl with ADHD who had The Hunger Games given to her in 3rd grade because her teacher couldn't keep up with her thirst for pages (just a nonspecific lil example :D) so if you're a parent or teacher reading this post I hope this helps!

Land of Stories by Chris Colfer- of course. What's not to love? I mean I lost a little steam in the last book (there's six) but heyyyy the first one can be read alone and then if you want more lore you can keep going if you wanna.

East by Edith Pattou- Ok fine, our main girl is giving a little bit of not-like-other-girls (Purple eyes? really?) but it's such a fun fucking reread, I feel like some of my superstitious things are validated when I do read it. East of the Sun and West of the Moon hasn't been retold to death so this is awesome.

Twice Upon a Time; Rapunzel, the One with All the Hair by Wendy Mass- Mouthful of a title but I STILL think back to this one all the time and laugh. It's short, it's cute, it's funny, they make the prince and Rapunzel into more normal kids, this one is a great light read. The other ones in the series are probably just as good.

Oh yeah forgot to mention these other books are THICK.

Just Ella by Margaret Peterson Haddix- I've been rereading this one since I was small and I still notice new things every time I read it. I'm so mad I marked up my copy because I have a gorgeous one from before they ruined the cover with modern art. If you look it up, I have the one where it's like half peeled back to show Ella as a peasant. Also a skinny book.

Ever After High's book series, mostly written by Shannon Hale- Did y'all know EAH had books when we were younger? Hale is one of my favorite authors, I ate these UP once I got my hands on all of them. Princess Academy was one of my favorites as a kid so finding these when I was like 11-12 was GREAT. They're long enough to keep me busy and super engaging. Ya gotta know- Briar's my favorite character in the books. Closely followed by Cedar.

Hale's Rapunzel's Revenge is SUPER good too. Graphic Novel. I'm a very huge Hale fan.

I can't think of any others right now but if I do I'll reblog and tack them on!

1, 3, and 7 for the book asks!

1: Currently Reading

Already answered!

3: First book that had a major influence on you

This is probably gonna seem a bit cliche, but since I grew up watching the 1991 Beauty and the Beast Disney version, I would have to say that "Beauty and the Beast" is the first book that had a major influence on one because I loved the story so much that I would seek out different versions of the story, in picture book form, in novel form, you name it!

One of my favourite picture book versions is Jan Brett's beautifully illustrated "Beauty and the Beast" and "East" by Edith Pattou (based off "East o' the Sun and West 'o the Moon", which is, at its core, another Beast and Beauty tale) is my favourite version in novel form.

7: What is the most important part of a book, in your opinion?

Hmm, it's not cover, for sure! (Since you can't judge a book by one!) I would definitely say a combination of the characters in the book itself + its prose are the most important part of a book to me. Characters that stand out and feel real are the ones that have me reading and rereading my favourite books and the prose within those stories/books helps me feel there by how the writing takes me to whatever place the story is set.

THE SECOND COMING OF BOOK REVIEWS

BOOK: NORTH CHILD BY EDITH PATTOU

TIME READ: 4.3HRS

RATING: 8/10

This book is a love story based on an old Norse myth called 'East of the Sun and West of the Moon'. It is beautifully written and very accurate to Norse traditions, beliefs and progressions. It piques interest and is tense and interesting and shows chapters from characters perspectives that aren't Rose's, showing how her actions are affecting them.

I loved this book and highly recommend it.

And I remember putting my eye up to the telescope, feeling the cold metal circling my eye socket. I looked up at the midnight blue of the sky, dotted with all those radiant specks of white, spread out randomly as if someone had carelessly strewn fistfuls of diamonds onto a black cloth.

Sequel Stack Challenge

I was tagged to do this six ages ago by @bibliophilecats and @appleinducedsleep. Thank you and sorry for being so late!

So as far as I’m aware the challenge is just to make a stack of sequels that you’ve read (or maybe not read--I don’t know, there weren’t any rules). But I decided to put my own little spin on it. This is the Unexpected Sequel Stack, meaning that when the author announced the sequel or when I became aware of their existence, I was surprised because I hadn’t expected a sequel.

Extras by Scott Westerfeld (Uglies #4)

Castle in the Air by Diana Wynne Jones (Howl’s Moving Castle #2)

House of Many Ways by Diana Wynne Jones (Howl’s Moving Castle #3)

Doctor Sleep by Stephen King (The Shining #2, kinda)

Shadowsong by S. Jae-Jones (Wintersong #2)

West by Edith Pattou (East #2)

I’m not tagging anyone, but if you want to do it, consider yourself tagged!
