Go Smallsie!! Best of luck with this challenge!! :D read many so I have more ideas of books to read.
ReplyDeletehehe I will!
DeleteWhen I think of fairy-tale re-tellings, I think of you, Small!
ReplyDeleteIt's like you were born for this challenge.
Go, girl, go!
lol, thank you! That's what I think too, so I'm so confused and sad about my poor showing last year. I'll fix it this year for sure. :)
DeleteOh, try Bewitching! It was a fun Cinderella retelling--and you know that one's been done to death. Also, Juliet Marillier's Daughter of the Forest is a retelling and I can't recommend that one enough!
ReplyDeleteWho wrote Bewitching? I own Daughter of the Forest! I will read it, I must!
DeleteI think Bewitching is by Alex Flinn, if they didn't respond.
DeleteAnd double YES on Juliet Marillier. I loved DotF, but even moreso HEART'S BLOOD, which is Beauty and the Beast based and my favorite by her!
Did this one last year too. I think you should read Cinder and Scarlet if you haven't already. I also hear their's a good MG one called "Rump" you may be interested in.
ReplyDeleteI read Cinder, and I really hope my library gets a copy of Scarlet! I want to see what happens next. I have Rump on my TBR :)
DeleteYou should read and review a couple of those during Fairy Tale Fortnight! It will be March 24th-April 6th this year!! I'm co-hosting this year :)
ReplyDeleteYou could also do a guest post with us...! ^.~
Oh, and did you wind up reading POISON yet? The ARC is still sitting on my nook begging to be read. I'm wondering if it's actually based on a fairy tale, or just has the feeling of one...
