Joy! Oh So Much Joy! It is time for one of my FAVORITE FAVORITE challenges. Carl has announced the Once Upon A Time Challenge! It will be from March 21rst to June 20th. The goal is to read fantasy, folklore, mythology, and fairy tales. The REVIEW SITE.
I'll be signing up for Quest The First. To read five books from any of the four categories. I may decide to watch/read A Midsummer Night's Dream by William Shakespeare in June. If I do, I will upgrade to Quest the Third. (I think I have a tendency of not committing to it, yet I always make time for it in the end!)

So many great books on your list - from the ones I've read, I enjoyed A Curse Dark As Gold the most. I have Runaway Dragon checked out right now, and I'm excited for Princess of Glass. I think I may join this challenge as well! Thanks for the info. :)
Melissa Marr is coming out with another Wicked Lovely book?! Awesome!!
Hi, great list of books. I just finished ICE and absolutely loved it.
Have fun with the challenge...looks like you got some great books.
Wow, great pool! I'm seeing Tender Morsels everywhere and it looks so good, pardon the pun.
Great list! I'm hoping to read Silksinger and/or Tender Morsels, too!
Yeah, I want to read so many of those books... I read Princess Ben, though, and I liked it!
the Dreamdark books have been on my wishlest for some time now..
The Princess of Glass sounds good too!...
I've read Fire and if you liked Graceling you will like this one too.
most interested in your review of the Bone Magician.. I tentatively put it on the wish list ! lol
I read the thirteenth child some time ago.. it was good but I liked her other books better.
love the cover for Here Lies Arthur!
geez Becky! must you ALWAYS add to my wish list?? lol
Lots of really great books, but I could swear you've already read half of them? (Or maybe I just assumed you have because I have and I always assume you beat me to the punch??)
I love this time of year! :-D
I haven't read any of these - there are some really nice covers! I'm looking forward to your reviews, but I think it's going to be really bad for my wish list!
