A- #BookReview: Nightshade and Oak by Molly O’Neill My Review: The Nightshade AND the Oak of this historical/mythical retelling met on the fringes of a battle that was already lost, the end of a war that was passing into myth and legend even as they contended over the last bits of it. The location, at least, is fitting for them both. The Nightshade is Mallt-y-Nos, a shadowy figure out of Welsh mythology, a chooser of the slain who would have kept good company with the Morrigan and the Valkyries.

#booksky What am I reading to close out 2025? I picked up A MAGIC DEEP & DROWNING by Hester Fox. The characters are well drawn and the story is charming, yet what stands out for me is the imagery-so #evocative! A new approach to The Little Mermaid. #fairytale #retellings
