It's Follow Friday!


It's Follow Friday, where we all get to mingle around the blogosphere and make some new friends! If it's your first time visiting me here at Stories & Sweeties, WELCOME!! :D

The question of the week is posted by Mickey @ I'm a Book Shark:

Q: In light of the Summer Solstice. Also known as Midsummer...let's talk about fairies. What is your favorite fairy tale or story that revolves around the fae?

A: I love fairy stories! Not to go for the obvious, but one of my favorites is Midsummer Night's Dream. Some recent favorites include Wings by Aprilynne Pike, Eyes Like Stars & Perchance to Dream by Lisa Mantchev, and definitely Ash by Malinda Lo.


Check back soon for:

  5. I loved ASH so much!!! Have you read HUNTRESS? It's set in the same world as ASH, but a few hundred years earlier. It was also very good!

  10. Hi, Becky! Thanks so much for stopping by -- I'm definitely following you back! Your blog is just too cute and I'm actually kind of craving cupcakes at the moment ;)

    I love faery/fairy stories too! Especially A Midsummer Night's Dream, although that may be because I'm a total Shakespeare fan! You should definitely read Julie Kagawa's Iron Fey series because some of the characters from AMND (like Puck, Oberon, and Titania) are in it! :)

    But I picked up Wings and loved it, and Lisa's books are already added to my TBR pile!

    Hope you're having an awesome weekend!
