A-Z Challenge 2017


Today is the day that I announce that I shall be taking part in the 2017 A-Z Challenge!
I took part back in 2013 and thought it would be fun to give it another try.
And as a sneaky way to force myself to blog more

 If you haven't heard about this then head on over to here to have a little look at what its all about, and maybe you can take part too! 
Its still not too late to join!

Today is the BIG REVEAL, where people taking part in the challenge can let everyone know what theme they will be using for their posts.
 
For my A-Z this year I shall be writing about Folklore & Fairytales. 
Traditional stories, fables and myths from all over the world!
Maybe with a splashing of mythical creatures thrown in too if you're lucky! 

 I want to focus on the less well known tales, or the older telling with more violence, evil and gore! 
Because we all know they're much more interesting!

 I'm hoping that we'll learn some interesting and obscure things along the way and I hope that you're willing to join me on this alphabet adventure!

 I'll also be carrying on with my book review throughout April as well. Because I definitely won't stop reading, so be prepared for LOTS of blog content this month!

If anyone here is also doing the A-Z Challenge then please leave me a comment and I'll pop on over to take a look at your offerings too :)

    I love the history of fairy tales, ever since I studied several during a Children's Literature course (Little Red Riding Hood has a completely different background/moral message than what I was expecting). I hope to stop back during April to see your posts.

    Good luck!

      Red Riding Hood is one of my favourites! Did you read the version where the wolf makes her burn all of her clothes and get into bed with him?
      Looking forward to having you here!

    Nice theme. I'll reveal mine on Monday (heavenly bodies) and as I'll be looking up in the night sky, mixing astoromony with folklore, there may be some overlap

    We're going to have a lot of opportunities to get lost in fantasies in April. Probably need the escape by then!

    Have fun in April!
