Reading your post makes me want to reread Beauty, one of my all-time favorite fairy tale retellings. (I also love her Outlaws of Sherwood. Good luck with your NaNoWriMo project!

I would rather do any number of things really. NaNoWriMo is like a marathon.

I'll be interested to see what you think, Crystal. Thanks for the three books after Beauty. I'll look especially for Darkroom. I think Robin McKinley is too over-looked lately. I did love Beauty & still recommend it when needed.
