Episode Overview: In this week's episode, Jill is back and she talks with Adam and Kristin about fairy tales! We discuss what we think makes a fairy tale a fairy tale (which turns out to be a much harder question to answer than we originally thought!) and offer some of our favorite fairy tales, both long-standing original ones and modern retellings. As usual, we also offer some of our recent reads and forthcoming books we're looking forward to reading. If you have a favorite fairy tale or have your own definition for what makes a fairy tale a fairy tale, please feel free to let us know at feedback@overdrive.com    Featured OverDrive Staff: Jill, Adam, and Kristin   Intro (0:00-1:53)   Favorite Fairy Tales (1:54-9:16) East of the Sun, West of the Moon Rumplestiltskin  Hansel and Gretel  Little Red Riding Hood The Little Mermaid   Recent Reads: (9:17-15:44) Labyrinth Lost by Zoraida Cordova The Loney by Andrew Michael Hurley We Need to Talk About Kevin by Lionel Shriver None of the Above b
