Retelling Stack 💫🧚🗝️🌛🏰

My book mail has a little theme lately. Thank you to all of the publishers for sending me these #gifted books.

Fairytales were a big part of my childhood and growing up. I love when an author can deconstruct what is familiar to me and expand its enchantment in a personal unique way.
