I love fairy tales. Sometimes embarrassing to admit, but I am obsessed with Harry Potter. I know that's not exactly a fairy tale or folk tale, but it is magical and opens your eyes to things that seem impossible, similar to fairy tales. That is why several of the readings I picked are fairy tales. I will choose to watch a Disney movie any time I am stressed because it has a calming effect, and I am very excited to read the origin of many of my favorite childhood stories. Besides the fairy tale readings, I chose readings that are from places I can relate to, like Texas where I am from, or things I grew up hearing. I grew up in the church, so the Bible stories are very interesting to me. I already read one of the Jewish fairy tales, and no shade to the Bible, great book, but I really appreciate the remix with the giant and the unicorn... 

I imagine the unicorn floating next to the Ark in the flood looked something like this. Photo creds: Photo by Meritt Thomas on Unsplash
