SurLaLune Book Club: Vote for January

The response was pretty strong for a SurLaLune Book Club, so let's try this out.  I picked 10 recent titles published this past year and put them in a poll at the bottom of the page to vote.  I am going to put them in a list here, too, so you can click through and read more about them.  I would copy blurbs, but I am doing this on the fly and don't have much time to create the list beyond plugging in titles and links, so here they are in no particular order:

A Tale Dark and Grimm

A Tale Dark and Grimm by Adam Gidwitz

Cloaked in Red

Cloaked in Red by Vivian Vande Velde

Reckless

Reckless by Cornelia Funke (The fairy tale usage is much more subtle in this title than the others.)

Sisters Red

Sisters Red by Jackson Pearce

My Mother She Killed Me, My Father He Ate Me: Forty New Fairy Tales

My Mother She Killed Me, My Father He Ate Me: Forty New Fairy Tales (This is by far the longest of the books with 40 tales, so this will be a bigger commitment than most of the others on the list. Not intended to be discouraging at all, but I want everyone to actually read the books and so must forewarn.)

Toads and Diamonds

Toads and Diamonds by Heather Tomlinson
The Grimm Legacy
The Grimm Legacy by Polly Shulman
Princess of Glass
Princess of Glass by Jessica Day George
The Enchanted Screen: The Unknown History of Fairy-Tale Films
The Enchanted Screen: The Unknown History of Fairy-Tale Films by Jack Zipes (This is by far the most expensive and won't be as readily available from libraries yet.)
A Narrative Compass: Stories that Guide Women's Lives
