Fairies were the closest I could get - I think they're largely an invention by Franny Billingsley!<br /><br />My sister and I are rereading our favorite YA fantasy books for our podcast and I just revisited The Folk Keeper for the first time in about 20 years. I think I actually liked it better as an adult! The sneaky coming of age story and family history mystery were so well done; nothing was ever too obvious. Franny Billingsley's prose is lyrical without ever being overbearing.<br /><br />Our podcast is Dragon Babies on iTunes if you'd like to check out our Folk Keeper episode. Thanks for creating this review, I want more people to read this incredible book!Dragon Babieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03868931826787620215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6075890361193230583.post-51668739023384720262011-03-02T19:57:34.645-06:002011-03-02T19:57:34.645-06:00I got the ARC of Chime at ALA.

I don't know how to describe it or who to recommend it to, but I REALLY enjoyed it.<br /><br />Shelleystoryqueenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07039684494823420722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6075890361193230583.post-6380043527175483142011-03-02T18:10:46.322-06:002011-03-02T18:10:46.322-06:00I love your blog.

Great post!<br /><br />Both books sounds A-MA-ZING! Added them both to my TBR on GoodReads - I especially love the title of the second! thanks so much!<br /><br />-Linds, <a href="http://bibliophilebrouhaha.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">bibliophile brouhaha</a>bibliophile brouhahahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11135625757196944536noreply@blogger.com
