6. Tell a Fairy Tale Day – February 26: Modern fairy tales are generally known for their happily-ever-afters. These myths and legends were orally passed down, then eventually put into writing. As they evolved throughout time, magical qualities snuck in, and depending on the author, the stories ranged from sugary-sweet to gruesome.
💜 Read a retelling of a fairy tale, a book where one character tells another a story, or a book categorized in Goodreads as fantasy, paranormal, or mythology. You can also read a book that makes you happy, a book with a happily-ever-after ending, or a book that you can’t wait to tell others about.
