Summer Fridays are here! This week: East Asian retellings + freebies
 
Hey First name / Bookworm
 
Hello from Terrasen…Ok, kidding, but I am up in the mountains visiting family in eastern WA, and it does feel pretty magical. It's the evergreen state after all, so a girl can pretend. I'm hoping to get a LOT of reading done while I'm here, as it's so peaceful. Do you find you read more in the winter when you can cozy up with a blanket and book, or during the summer, when you can sit on a porch or read at the beach? Reply and let me know! 
 
This week you've got a fairytale duology retelling review to dig into, and the first set of monthly BAMTP free digital wallpapers and desktop backgrounds to spice up your digital life! Not that kind of spice. Geez. 
 
Plus, there's some fun bookish drops and news, including a song I've been listening to on repeat…check it all out below. 
 
Happy reading + see you next Friday,
Ashley
