You Know It's Spring When...

March 21 rolls around, but also when Carl announces his Once Upon A Time Challenge.

Fantasy, folklore, fairy tale or mythology, any reading within these four genres qualifies. Because I want to commit, but am not sure how much time I'll have, I've decided to at least complete The Journey:

This is really as simple as the name implies. It means you are participating, but not committing yourself to any specific number of books. By signing up for The Journey you are agreeing to read at least one book within one of the four categories during March 21st to June 20th period. Just one book. If you choose to read more, fantastic! If not, then we have still had the pleasure of your company during this three month reading journey and hopefully you have read a great book, met some interesting people, and enjoyed the various activities that occur during the challenge. It has always been of utmost importance to me that the challenges that I host be all about experiencing enjoyable literature and sharing it with others. I want you to participate. Hence, The Journey.

There are several other levels in which you can participate, including film, so head on over to Carl's announcement post and see what you might sign up for. Then, be sure to check the Review Site so you can add more wonderful books to your ever growing list of What I Want To Read.

I know I'll read The King Must Die, and hopefully something by George R. R. Martin. Loved The Game of Thrones which I read for one of the previous Once Upon a Time Challenges. Other possibilities include Magyk by Annie Sage and A Breath of Snow and Ashes by Diana Galbadon. I also have Inkspell and Inkdeath hanging around here somewhere, and my class is dying for me to read them The Lightning Thief by Riordan. So, thank you, Carl, for bringing this genre to life for me, and reminding me of what I already own but haven't yet read.
