I'm doing 39 things
Malinda Lo’s updated version of Cinderella. A darkly engaging re-imagining of such a classic fairytale with a cool twist. Catergorized as Young Adult fiction, I nevertheless enjoyed this telling.

Carol Anshaw’s funny take on family dysfunction, mother-daughter relationships and the many ways we betray each other and more often ourselves. Very good writing and interesting characters and story. I recommend it.
