Before Once Upon A Time VII, which began Thursday, March 21,
there was Once Upon A Time VI:
and the very first Once Upon A Time Challenge:
I have participated in each one of these challenges, which have re-opened my eyes to the beauty of fantasy, fairy tales, and mythology. This is one of the very reasons that blogging about books is so exciting: through the ideas of others, we are challenged to expand our own reading horizons.
I have inserted the link to each challenge because they are a wonderful source of titles should you be at a loss as to what to open first. As for myself, this year I think I will focus on the Stardust read-along, the children’s classic novel Peter Pan, and Murakami’s After The Quake.
“All the world is made of faith, and trust, and pixie dust.” ~J. M. Barrie
“She says nothing at all, but simply stares upward into the dark sky and watches, with sad eyes, the slow dance of the infinite stars.” ~Neil Gaiman
“I want to write about people who dream and wait for the night to end, who long for the light so they can hold the ones they love.” ~Haruki Murakami
What will you read?

Peter Pan! It's beena few years since I've read that. Perhaps I should pick it up again. I am sure you will enjoy all three books (although, that might be a little too confident, I know very little about the Murakami book).

You know I don't think I have ever actually read Peter Pan. OUAT III was my first one and at the time I didn't even think I liked “those kinds of books”. Ha. I look forward to your review of After the Quake. I'm still working on finishing 1Q84.
