I've discovered there's some wonderful story-telling going on in the graphic novel world. if nothing else, it will spark some ideas for writing, I hope!<br /><br />Buried in Print: i tend to gobble them up, and now I'm considering buying my favourites so I can savour them slowly :-)<br /><br />Lynn: I know, some people never read Rose Red and Snow White.....it's confusing with the names a little. This fairy tale always fascinated me, because it involved sisters who were alike and so differnt, like my sister and I were. This Fables also uses that very well. I hope you give it a try!<br /><br />Kailana: Ok, so what is the spin-off? the Cinderella sounds wonderful - I can hardly wait to see what they do with it! It's partly because of you that I am reading this series, you and Ana and Chris especially....<br /><br />Carl: Thanks! for giving me something new to look for, I hadn't heard of Peter and Max, and Down the Mystery River sounds intriguing too. It is a fun series, isn't it?Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09095246748581382752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6145452263098688113.post-61044496447390786142012-04-16T13:37:13.888-04:002012-04-16T13:37:13.888-04:00So glad to read that you've fallen for these. ...So glad to read that you've fallen for these. The series is really amazing. <br /><br />When you get a chance I would highly recommend adding the novel Peter and Max to your reading list. It can be read anytime during this series as it stands alone and it is a really wonderful novel set in the Fables universe. He has another one out now, Down the Mysterly River, that I hope to get to during Once Upon a Time.Carl V.

Part of me wants to gobble them all up in a day, and the other part of me is making me wait for a few months inbetween so that they will last and last and last (and then I can re-read!).

So I'm reading what I can find, they don't seem to have them all. I hope you, like Geranium Cat below, can find some to read somewhere.<br /><br />Geranium Cat: I'm so pleased you are able to blog again! welcome back! lol I hope you can find a way to borrow these from somewhere, they are good to read. I have to come see what you're choosing for the challenge now :-)<br /><br />Jane: I never thought of them as fractured fairy tales slap to my head! of course they are.... lol Witches was almost as good. I found more to resonate with in Rose Red, for me personally. I hope you find some to read, then you can let me know which one you prefer :-)Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09095246748581382752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6145452263098688113.post-35663414532050057552012-04-11T21:44:06.616-04:002012-04-11T21:44:06.616-04:00I've read a few of these and enjoyed them.
