My first favorite book of the year...happening in the first month of the year?
It's more likely than you think.

And since usually I end up five starring less than 10% of the books I read in any given year, I was thinking "not very likely."
Dear Melissa Albert: Thank you for making this book (which I basically had the idea for - I mean, you mentioned it in a different book, but I am on the record as saying I would like it to be a real book before even you were, so), and thank you for making it everything I wanted it to be, and thank you for giving me a five star read against the odds.
Even if I've read 30+ so far this year with only one more five star to my name. So what. We count our blessings.
This is a book of fairytales (my favorite) that is full of darkness and blood and powerful girls and selfish girls and powerful girls and violence and anger and revenge and badassery (all of which are my other favorites).
It is, in short, a dream.
Bottom line: More please!!!

tbr review
i WAS trying to buy fewer books this year...but then this one came out.
"I want to read Tales from the Hinterland (Grandnanny’s book) so badly. If Melissa Albert is smart, or loves me or the world or both, she will write that spinoff."
THAT'S FROM MY REVIEW OF THE HAZEL WOOD.
WHICH I WROTE MONTHS AGO.
DO YOU KNOW WHAT THIS MEANS?????? I'm magical and the world is granting my wishes.
...
I would also like a pony and for all of my student loan debt to be paid off. And unlimited cookies.
It's more likely than you think.

Me too!! I was there all like what if Melissa Albert writes the tales? And BAM here they are getting ready
I just finished The Hazelwood and as I was reading I was like “oh god I need to read Tales from the Hinterland...” 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
To be clear: just now realized it was an actual thing when I came on Goodreads.
Lucky you!!! Wish for my wishes so they will be granted!
lol when I saw the title to this book I thought it was talking about the Hinterlands from a series of unfortunate events :)
I started the year with a book spree... I regret nothing
LoL, story of my life. Trying not to buy books ☺️. Good luck with your wish 🌠
There is no shame in buying lots of books. ☺️

That was exactly what I mean to do too lol! #BAIYMTGO
The trick is to buy tons AND tons of books one year so the next year you buy tons, and you’re still buying fewer. At least that’s what I’m going with.

Hi, should I read the other Melissa Albert books before reading this?
