Waiting on Wednesday is hosted by Jill @ Breaking the Spine.
Two & Twenty Dark Tales
I mean don't you totally want to know if Jack has an evil twin? I love re-tellings of fairy-tales. Especially ones similar to the originals. I know it's weird, but I like to see the darker sides. It's more interesting than just cupcakes and smiley-faces! Give me the grit and the intrigue. So, Mother Goose plus the Dark Side (don't forget the cookies) seems like an equation for AWESOME-SAUCE. Don't you agree?
Two & Twenty Dark Tales
In this anthology, 20
authors explore the dark and hidden meanings behind some of the most
beloved Mother Goose nursery rhymes through short story retellings. The
dark twists on classic tales range from exploring whether Jack truly
fell or if Jill pushed him instead to why Humpty Dumpty, fragile and
alone, sat atop so high of a wall.
Why I'm Waiting:
Yes yes I know. I'm waiting on an anthology of all things. And I like NEVER read anthologies. So why in the world do I care about this one? *ahem*

And that is why I'm eagerly hyperventilating for Two And Twenty Dark Tales.
