Tithe: A Modern Faerie Tale by Holly Black

This was a formative read for me. It was the first time I read about a sinister fairyland, and it felt deliciously blasphemous. I hadn’t realized you were allowed to take myth and folklore, flip it and show its dark underside. It made me hungry for more.

Wildwood Dancing by Juliet Marillier

Another fairy tale retelling that captured my imagination. I loved the focus on sisterly relationships, the rich otherworld and the romance that hides in plain sight.

The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern

The definition of a transportive read. You raise your head from its pages and smell popcorn and chestnut, the blown-out candle scent of vanishing magic.
