A to Z Challenge: N is for Non-Fiction
A little late this time, but for the letter N in the A to Z Challenge I have a genre instead of one book, and a genre… I don’t really read.
It’s not that I don’t like non-fiction, but with so many great fiction books out there, they seem to always fall to the end of my reading list. But every once a while I skip the fiction and pick up some non-fiction, and three very different books always pop up in my memory. (more…)

For today’s A to Z Challenge I’m coming back to the speculative genre with a book that is very special to me.
Today’s A to Z Challenge post will take me good 25 years back (if not more), to one of the most charming books I’ve read as a child.

The A to Z Challenge is a chance for me to re-visit books that left an impression in the past, and letter H brings a very special book.
During the A to Z Challenge I’m writing about books that were important to me in some way, and the letter G is not for the ghostwriting business, but for a book titled after it… Though it’s not about ghostwriters, and by its end, the title reveals its meaning. But shhh! I’m not spoiling it. 
As you probably guessed already, today’s post in A to Z Challenge won’t be related to one particular title, but rather to a genre that just might be the most popular one in the world: fairy tales. Whether written down or spoken, they accompany us since childhood, since we’re able to understand the words, and are a worldwide phenomenon: every culture, every tribe has their tales.
