The Girl Who Circumnavigated Fairyland in a Ship of Her Own Making (Fairyland #1) by Catherynne M. Valente -->Starting February 20 2019

[Aly]

Twelve-year-old September lives in Omaha, and used to have an ordinary life, until her father went to war and her mother went to work. One day, September is met at her kitchen window by a Green Wind (taking the form of a gentleman in a green jacket), who invites her on an adventure, implying that her help is needed in Fairyland. The new Marquess is unpredictable and fickle, and also not much older than September. Only September can retrieve a talisman the Marquess wants from the enchanted woods, and if she doesn’t . . . then the Marquess will make life impossible for the inhabitants of Fairyland. September is already making new friends, including a book-loving Wyvern and a mysterious boy named Saturday.

(view spoiler)[ I just needed to quickly post here because I am so confused, but in a very good way. I have no clue what is going on but I love the writing, the world and the characters so far! (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 1 thoughts (view spoiler)[ This is strange for sure. It's a little confusing, but I like how original it is. (hide spoiler)]

I agree totally!

Chapter 6 (view spoiler)[ I'm glad September found A-L, he seems like a good friend. And the part with Lye was sad. I'm excited to meet the Marquess and see what happened to the queen (hide spoiler)]

[Aly]

Chapter 11 (view spoiler)[ I am enjoying this more as it goes and the plot makes more sense. I hope September can find the queen. And I would love to live in Autumn all the time! (hide spoiler)]

[Aly]

Chapter 16(view spoiler)[ I could not catch a fish like that, kill it, and eat it raw. I would just go hungry (hide spoiler)]

[Aly]

Finished! I really liked it! (view spoiler)[ The ending was really good! I had no clue the marquess was also Mallow. And I like that September gets to come back all the time and she and Saturday will have a daughter together. I think there's more to this series, I'll have yo check it out (hide spoiler)]

20% (view spoiler)[ Very Wonderland-esque and crazy so far. Not sure it's my kind of thing, but I'm not hating it. September is a bit of a brat. (hide spoiler)]

[✨Skye✨]

42% (view spoiler)[ Getting more interesting. The Marquess is a good character and I like Ell. Still not that engrossed and September is a bit boring and unlikeable. (hide spoiler)]

[✨Skye✨]

60% (view spoiler)[ I'm suspicious of this Autumn place, something isn't right. I like Saturday, he seems sweet and I'm glad September freed him. (hide spoiler)]

I like Saturday too

[✨Skye✨]

80% (view spoiler)[ That was an odd scene. I'm not sure I really understood the whole thing with Death. I like that we've finally got to the ship part, wondering how this will end. (hide spoiler)]

[✨Skye✨]

Done (view spoiler)[ That was a cute ending, and what a cliffhanger! their daughter? I was shocked that Mallow was the Marquess too, I actually feel sorry for her. (hide spoiler)]

The ending was definitely the strongest part :D
