once upon a time II book challenge

so...i've never done one of these things so because now i am officially 29 years old...what the heck.

here is the challenge:

Quest the Second
Read at least one book from each of the four categories. In this quest you will be reading 4 books total: one fantasy, one folklore, one fairy tale, and one mythology. This proved to be one of the more difficult quests last year merely because of the need to classify each read and determine which books fit into which category. I am not a stickler, fear not, but I was fascinated watching how folks worked to find books for each category.

here is my list:
fantasy - Poison Study by Maria V. Snyder
folklore - The Yellow Jar: 2 Tales from Japanese Tradition (Songs of Our Ancestors) by Patrick Atangan
fairy tale - Once Upon a Marigold by Jean Ferris.
mythology - Water: Tales of Elemental Spirits by Robin McKinley and Peter Dickinson

i'm thrilled! this is going to be superfun. i'll let you know how it goes!
