First I didn’t blog because I was too busy writing and watching Netflix. Now I’m not blogging because I’m too busy back at work. I am filled with excuses, none of them terribly interesting!

But I’m checking in and sharing with you two fascinating links I found thanks to ALA Direct newsletter. First, the most terrifying children’s books: http://www.flavorwire.com/295700/10-of-the-most-terrifying-childrens-books-from-around-the-world?all=1. Personally I have slightly chilling memories of James Joyce’s The Cat and the Devil.

And in honor of the release of Snow White and the Huntsman and all things Grimm, we have the story of the REAL snow white. You know I let out a little squeal when I read this: http://www.ibtimes.com/articles/347815/20120601/snow-white-real-story-huntsman-waldeck-margarete.htm.
