Book Shelf Clean Up - Tumblr Posts

Book shelf clean out: the princess tales (Gail Carson Levine)

These are very slim and short books. Each one is a retold version of a "classic" fairy tale like Sleeping Beauty. They usually feature a fairy who curses/blesses the protagonist. They're really fun books. Also, yes that IS the same Gail Carson Levine who wrote many other fairy tale inspired stories

Pure Dead...

This series was so fun and so weird. Kind of Addams Family. Very weird. There is this sort of kitchen sink magic going on in the setting.

The mom is an aspiring witch (she isnt very good). Brother is a coder/hacker (not really also these books are like from the 90s). Sister actually does do some magic. Their nanny is secretly incredibly competent & also is great at magic (secretly). So is the baby. Also they have a pet dragon who is a moody teen. Also at one point in the series the Italian mafia shows up??? And there are clones but they're tiny. Also a spider who wears bright pink lipstick. Also this series taught me the symptoms of rabies?? Also also also... this is just such a weird series and I love it a lot. I think the actual The Devil shows up at one point.
