It is time once again for Carl's Once Upon A Time VIII! For information on the event go here, and for the review site go here. Having looked at my prior OUAT lists I note that there are books, like Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell by Susanna Clarke which are in my list every year and I still haven't read. So this year I am going for a fresh perspective and consider more books that have not been on my list in prior years. I also stuck in a couple of re-reads because, at the moment Weaveworld and the Talisman are what I am in the mood for and I couldn't come up with anything else similar and I haven't read them in decades.
So I am signing up for the Journey, because I like the flexibility and will also be sticking in some short stories. And I will actually be watching A Midsummer Night’s Dream. Although I say that every year, I couldn't find my dvd last year but I am ready this year as it is recorded on my dvr now. So I guess technically I am signing up for Quest the Third and Short Story Quest.
