  4. Oh my goodness, this is the most absurd and darling little poem <3 You know, I never stopped to think about it, but maybe I love fairytale retelling novels for a similar reason as I love parody songs. It is just NEAT to take something so traditional and see it re-imagined in a way that is only compressible to someone living through this century :)

    I missed your blog so much while I was NaNoWriMo-ing last month...so happy to have time to catch up with everything now!
