It is that time of year again. Spring is in the air and thoughts turn to fantasy, fairy tale, folklore and mythology. Yes, it is time for this, the third annual Once Upon a Time Challenge. What is the Once Upon a Time Challenge?
Well, if you do not know about it, I encourage you to follow the link below for an explanation:
On this site I ask that you submit links for the books you read and review for this challenge. Type your name and then the name of the book and the author in parenthesis. For example, if I read The Hobbit, I would type my entry as follows:
Carl V. (The Hobbit ~J.R.R. Tolkien) and then would submit my link directly to my review of The Hobbit. Feel free to email me at cvincent68 (at) comcast (dot) net if you have any questions. Otherwise, please enjoy. If you scroll down to the Once Upon a Time II post below, you make click the "here" link and see a list of novels reviewed for last year's challenge.

ummm - i screwed up - hit enter before adding Me (Grave Peril - jim butcher)
should I enter again?
sorry :-(
Me, too. I wanted to put The Thief by Megan Whalen Turner on my link.
Um. I think this means I've completed Quest the First. But, you know, I'm not stopping. :)
#201 is a mess up. I'm not sure what happened. I put the right one on #202.
Looks like you're having the same linky problem as I am with my challenge.s :(
Mind if I leave my link here?

mr Linky is proving elusive:
I reviewed "The little country" by Charles de Lint
here.
I just finished Quest the Second (one each from the four categories) and Quest the Third (A Midsummer Night's Dream), plus two additional books! This was so much fun! Thanks, Carl and everyone! :D
Here is my review for Valiant by Holly Black

Still reading more books and continuing with the Journey
Mr. Linky is still in hiatus... here are a couple of my reviews:
Elizabeth Goudge's The Little White Horse
Jessica Day George's Sun & Moon, Ice & Snow, along with Lesley Livingstone's Wondrous Strange.
what very smart people to begin to use the "comments" in such a way!!
I reviewed The Death Collector here..

Thanks for the great challenge, again, Carl!
Well, I've read my one book for The Journey and finally got it reviewed here:
Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH
I was hoping to read more than one fantasy book this year, but it hasn't happened. Had a good time anyway and now I'm enjoying reading everyone's reviews. Thanks, Carl, for hosting this.
I've just finished A Midsummer Night's Dream from Quest the Third, unfortunately i think i've ran out of time for my Quest the Second, and had been hoping to get further than the fairytale section, but exams have rather got in the way and i hadn't realised i'd ran out of time, but thankyou, because i really enjoyed this one :)
