[stylist] Fairytales

[Jacobson, Shawn D]

I just finished the coyote trilogy (Coyote, Coyote Rising, and Coyote Frontier) by Allan Steele.  A very good SciFi tale in the old starfaring tradition.  Kind of like The Martian Chronicles in that it discusses the settlement of a new world.  But where Bradbury's style was very fae, Steele's style is very gritty and realistic.  A very good read.  It may not be entirely for the kiddies (some sex, though no details, and violence) but definitely good books for teenagers.

Awesome, always love book suggestions. I don't think I have come across this one yet. I just finished a SciFi/fantasy trilogy I really enjoyed,,,
Rapsody: Child of Blood, Prophacy: Child of Earth, and Destiny: Child of the Sky by Elizabeth Haydon, available on BARD. This is not fantasy, though uses folk lore and magical realism as story-telling catalyst, also just finished the Joy Luck Club by Amy Tan and loved it!

For those of you out there like Brigit and myself who are into fairytales, this totally made me think of you, Brigit, there is a new book, well it came out in 2013, and it's on NLS called Mirror Mirror and it's by like 5 authors. It's various stories, retellings and inspired by all the famous fairytales so wanted to put that out there for anyone into them and who enjoys such who may not know about it. We just got it today and are in the middle of one of the Malazon Empire books so aren't reading it yet but it'll be next.
