Location: Austria		Okay, I've got way too many challenges going already but I can't resist.

I'll join in with Fairytale Fantasy not only because I like fairytales and retellings but because it ties in nicely with my other challenges. A few books are coming out this year (or were already published) that I'm eager to read - they work for the new books of 2015 challenge and the sub-genre challenge. And my TBR pile is so full of fairy tale retellings that I should really start reading a few of them...

The definites are:
Catherynne M. Valente - The Boy Who Lost Fairyland
Holly Black - The Darkest Part of the Forest
Helen Oyeyemi - Mr. Fox
Alethea Kontis - Dearest (not in the database yet)

As for the rest, I've added a few books to my challenge but I don't know if I'll read those or find something else - it would be great if I actually read some of my older books instead of always buying the new and shiny ones. Fingers crossed.
