HallowReads: The Merry Spinster Mallory Ortberg

This is my first book by Ortberg and it was fantastic! Thisis one of those books that makes a reader instantly want to read all the other works by the author.
The focus of this book is Fairytale Retellings. Beauty and the Beast, The Little Mermaid and more are told with a slant that focuses on the wants, needs, and actions of the female protagonists. 
The stories have the feeling of the dark thrills of a Grimm's Fairy Tale and nice twist endings.
