It’s time to summarize the books I read for the Once Upon a Time Challenge.
In addition to what’s listed below, I read several books I originally thought would fit into this challenge but which, on reflection, did not. As such, I merely completed Quest the First to “read at least 5 books that fit somewhere within the Once Upon a Time IV criteria.” The six books I read were:
- The Collected Tales of Nurse Matilda (fairy tale)
- The Necromancer (mythology)
- Queen Zixi of Ix (fairy tale)
- The Red Pyramid (mythology) (review TK)
- Savvy (folk tale)
- The Sorceress (mythology)
While I liked all of the books I read, I’d have to say that the highlight was the first one I read, Savvy. I’d recommend it for anyone.
My other goal for the challenge was to re-read A Midsummer Night’s Dream. I made it partway through the play within the early June time frame, but ultimately failed to finish before the Solstice.
As always, this was a fun read-along and one I’ll be doing again next spring.
