I know, I know :) <br /><br />Need Tea, Sheri Tepper is another author I’ve been meaning to read but haven’t yet. I’ll add that one to my list, thanks!<br /><br />A Canadian Girl, Yes, you’ll be able to fly right through them. Hope you like them!<br /><br />Natalie, If you like fractured fairy tales then definitely give these a shot. They’re all MG, but I was laughing with each of them. <br /><br />Logan, Haha I know! The covers area pretty bad. Except Dealing with Dragons. I like that one because the expressions are so perfect for the characters. There are other covers for Goose Chase, but yeah this one is the most Disney DVD :P<br /><br />Alex, I think you would like them! :)<br /><br />Laura, aw, your sister should read it! I thought the Rapunzel one was very cute. <br /><br />Alison, Thanks! You should check them out! They’re all super quick reads and very funny. Thanks for the heads up on your Cascade review!! I can’t get enough of those books :)<br /><br />Couchpotatocritic, I’m getting the urge to pick up Dealing with Dragons again too :)<br /><br />Erica, Thanks! I hope you like them if you try them :)<br /><br />Aylee, Haha, I can see how a straight up fairy tale retelling could be boring (but not for me, I looove reading the same stories over and over like that). These stories are all pretty original and play with the fairy tales in amusing ways.Small Reviewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16072352095510905410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8955420282479112508.post-2245705231648000742011-08-12T17:35:09.149-04:002011-08-12T17:35:09.149-04:00Ooh, this is a great list for me!

I think I tend to get bored with regular fairy tale retellings because they tend to be pretty predictable, obviously because I know the story already. So I think a fractured fairy tale would be a great way to make a story original!Ayleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07639250102446794830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8955420282479112508.post-6206979193512387932011-08-12T13:54:01.242-04:002011-08-12T13:54:01.242-04:00This was a super fun post :) Thanks for sharing th...This was a super fun post :) Thanks for sharing these - i hadn't heard of a lot of these, and I LOVE fractured fairy tales :)Ericahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09702562351328503338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8955420282479112508.post-39657741241154495672011-08-11T23:52:55.590-04:002011-08-11T23:52:55.590-04:00Haha, Dealing with Dragons!

Some of my favorites are Vivian Vande Velde's short story collections such as The Rumplestilsktin Problem and Tales from the Brothers Grimm and Sisters Weird. Also wonderful is the ever-popular Ella Enchanted. I could go on and on. Thanks for posting this list - I love these books and I'm excited to read what other people recommend.Picahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17801407628694385946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8955420282479112508.post-72332012000560167312011-08-11T00:49:17.816-04:002011-08-11T00:49:17.816-04:00I love pretty much any fairy tale retelling AND I ...I love pretty much any fairy tale retelling AND I love to laugh so thank you for the recommendations as I was only familiar with the first and the last books.
