Results revealed that the four-factor structure was well adjusted and showed minor differences between and within states. Study 2 compared data from five Brazilian states, (blue-collar workers N = 5,589). The structure found was similar in both countries, but the modification indexes suggest a change in one item load compared to the original study.

There's a quality in Dimaline's writing that reached from the page, into my being. I wrote, then, that I had to "just be" with Auntie Dave and that story for awhile. The character she writes about in that story is named Auntie Dave.

Regardless, Maulik Pancholy was the perfect casting choice for the character. If I ever had a personal assistant, I’d want someone like Jonathan, as loyal as he was – and a bit in love with Jack as he was. He has some more voice work coming out soon, like Devil May Care and Bless the Harts, two adult animated shows, and will be appearing in the upcoming comedy film, Queenpins. But there’s no doubt that if you listen to his voice, you will probably recognize him. McBrayer has also had a couple of appearances on Drunk History, as well as The Middle. ![]() However, that doesn’t mean he hasn’t done live-action work as well.

I’ve linked to the dominant fairy tales in each theme in the subheading, and linked to the other, similar fairy tales by each title. Ultimately, I decided to organize around themes. I struggled a bit with the best way to organize the list. Even with cutting those, however, I still had to omit some books that I love! I plan to make a separate children’s list at some point of middle grade and picture book retellings, which I also love. To cut down on what would’ve been a massive list (to make a slightly less massive list?), I decided to include only YA and Adult retellings. Obviously, I have a bit of an obsessions. I had more than 200 books marked as such, and I’ve only been on Goodreads for a few years. ![]() When I started researching for this list, I went to Goodreads to see which books I’d marked as fairytale retellings. ![]() ![]() I love the brilliant colors in the fun artwork, but also the story.
