This is my first Top Ten Tuesday post, and the subject is top ten fairytale retelling I have read/want to read!
Fairytale Retellings I Have Read
1. A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas: This is a Beauty and the Beast retelling that I absolutely LOVED! I especially loved how there was only a small Beauty and the Beast theme, and Sarah J. Maas completely took it in her own direction.
2. The Wrath and the Dawn by Renee Ahdieh: This book is SO GOOD. It is a retelling of A Thousand and One Nights!
3. Peter and the Starcatchers by Dave Barry: This one brings back memories. I’m not exactly sure if this counts a fairytale retelling, but I’m including it! It’s an adventurous, amazing story following Peter Pan and Tinker Bell. I really need to reread this.
4. Beastly by Alex Flinn: This is a Beauty and the Beast retelling that I read for school many years ago. All I remember is that I loved it! (And the movie is great too!)
Fairytale Retellings I Want to Read
5. The Lunar Chronicles by Melissa Meyer: I’ve heard such great things about Cinder, Scarlet, and Cress! I can’t wait to start this series. They are sci-fi retellings, and if that doesn’t sell you, I don’t know what will.
6. Splintered by A.G. Howard: All I know is that this is an Alice in Wonderland Retelling
7. Ella Enchanted by Gail Carson Levine: A cinderella retelling! I’ve seen the movie about ten times, so I think it’s about time I read the book.
8. Entwined by Heather Dixon: A retelling The Twelve Dancing Princesses. I’ve never heard of that fairytale, but the book sounds pretty good!
9. Cruel Beauty by Rosamund Hodge: Beauty and the Beast retelling
10. Fairest by Gail Carson Levine: Apparently this is a Snow White Retelling!
Thanks for reading!
