"Half Upon a Time" - Riley

Sorry, sucker for a retold fairy tale. But this one's funny! Modern-day girl literally drops into the world of fairy tales. I especially liked it because the guy wasn't an idiot. There are many times throughout the book when he knows more than the girl.

Every once in a while, I just want a book where the girl isn't a know-it-all and the guy isn't stupid.

Jack doesn't want to go on a quest, doesn't want to rescue a princess, much less marry one, and doesn't want to hear again why it's important to do both these things. Enter May, [drop center stage] granddaughter to Snow White! Is clearly labeled a Princess from Punk! Hasn't two clues how magic works. Together, they'll save granny. Until they find granny...
