Fairy Tale Read-a-Thon: Start + Reading List + Wrap Up!

The Fairy Tale Read-a-Thon is a week-long read-a-thon, hosted by Debz @ Debz Bookshelf.

This time, instead of reading mostly fairy tale retellings, I decided to read mostly some classic fairy-tale-like fantasy books (that I've wanted to read for years), as well as some other fairy-tale-like fantasy books.

My goal is to read at least 7 of these books.

My Reading List:

1. The Spindlers by Lauren Oliver

2. Beauty by Robin McKinley

3. The Tale of Peter Rabbit by Beatrix Potter (picture book)

4. The Princess Bride by William Goldman

5. The Last Unicorn by Peter S. Beagle

6. The Lives of Christopher Chant by Diana Wynne Jones

7. Alice's Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll (re-read)

8. Through the Looking-Glass by Lewis Carroll

9. The Little White Horse by Elizabeth Goudge

10. Tuck Everlasting by Natalie Babbitt

11. The Princess and the Goblin by George MacDonald

12. Peter Pan by J. M. Barrie

13. The Wonderful Wizard of Oz by L. Frank Baum

14. The Fairy-Tale Detectives by Michael Buckley

15. Veiled Rose by Anne Elisabeth Stengl

I read the following books:
