Cover of Sweet Valley Kids number one: Surprise! Surprise! A boy with dark brown hair, wearing a blue and white striped dress shirt over khaki pants, blows an inflatable party whistle at a girl with pale blond hair pulled back in a pony tail. The girl faces the audience, holding a round white birthday cake with eight candles (one is extra, for luck). She's wearing a red dress with long sleeves and tiny pink flowers all over it. To the right of this girl is an identical girl, only with her hair down. The second girl faces the first, puffing out her cheeks like she's going to blow out the candles. Above them, the title "Sweet Valley Kids" is shahped like a white banner with red letters; the "Sweet Valley" curves up in a quarter-circle, while "Kids" is horizontal. The tag-line says "It's Elizabeth and Jessica's seventh birthday!"

#FinfolkFriday: Beach reads and prophecies

Cover of Beneath the Sugar Sky. A bright, blue sky covers the top left corner of the cover. Indigo clouds, with bright white lining, cover the top right. The bottom is occupied by magenta ocean waves crashing onto a magenta beach. In the middle of the sky is a semi-translucent door opening into nothingness.

Sugar and spice, and let’s not get sliced

A black and white map of Ice Age Europe, from inside the book The Plains of Passage, by Jean M. Auel. There is a winding white line leading from the area now known as Ukraine to the area now known as France. There are also several images of Ice Age artifacts, such as carvings of women, a sculpture of a lioness head, and a pierced staff.

“It is the tide that pulls the seconds through my blood. It is the tide that threads the minutes through my bones.”

“You’re here to put an end to us, and a Selkie without a skin is no concern of Faerie’s.”
