Fairy Tale Retelling 2013

[Lisa Kay, Tinker Bell]

Neat, Pamela. I'll have to check that one out. Love the name of the series.

[Lisa Kay, Tinker Bell]

Ah, yes. Now I remember; Carol in the W♥LK group liked that one.

[Elena]

I'm in! Love fairy tales, they're wise and oh so romantic))) I've finished already some Beauty and the Beast retellings and quite positive to continue!

[Pamela(AllHoney), Fairy Godmother]

Great, Elena!

[Lisa Kay, Tinker Bell]

Super, Elena! Welcome to the challenge.

I am really enjoying this challenge. I must admit when I first saw it I almost pasted it by. I am so glad I didn't. I have read 8 books so far and I just finished Briar Rose. It was wonderful. I would have never picked it up if it hadn't been for this challenge. I would recommend it to everyone.

[Pamela(AllHoney), Fairy Godmother]

Great job, Deb! You have given me a few books to check out ☺

[Lisa Kay, Tinker Bell]

Wow, Deb. That is so neat. I'm going to check out some of those, too.

[Melissa]

My version of beauty and the beast is . It's set in Pennsylvania. :^)

[Pamela(AllHoney), Fairy Godmother]

Thanks, Penelope

[Melissa]

Just finished different twist with Beauty and the beast's Gaston's character.

[Lisa Kay, Tinker Bell]

Finally on the board with this one: is a Cinderella retelling.

[Deb]

I just finished Scarlet by A.C. Gaughen. It is a young adult book and a fast read. I enjoyed it. I am not sure it is truly a fairy tale since it is about Robin Hood. But I'm counting it.

[Lisa Kay, Tinker Bell]

Oh, yes. I would say that counts, Deb.

[Pat]

I'm in. I recently read An Offer From A Gentleman.

[Lisa Kay, Tinker Bell]

Super, Pat!

I love Fairy Tale retellings :)
I'm in for the Lady in Waiting level

Cinderella retelling from the "ugly" stepsister's POV

[Lisa Kay, Tinker Bell]

Super, Brenda! Welcome to the challenge.

Lady in Waiting

[Melissa]

Finished and but the beauty in the beast was a really really short story so I'm not sure it really counts. ;)

[Pamela(AllHoney), Fairy Godmother]

Sure, it counts!

[Lisa Kay, Tinker Bell]

Neat, Melissa!

[Nikki ♥]

I'm totally lagging on this one :(

[Lisa Kay, Tinker Bell]

Me, too. I only have a couple.

[Pamela(AllHoney), Fairy Godmother]

me three ☺

[Helena]

Hi all, I just realised I've finished a book recently that fits this challenge, so would like to join! It's Gringa - In the Clutches of a Ruthless Drug Lord, by Eve Rabi. I really enjoyed it, but it might not be for everyone. One reviewer says "it’s like beauty and the beast on crack, sex, tons of violence and equal amounts of humor". I found it funny and unputdownable.
Now I'm going to look at my shelves and see if any other books I read recently fit the fairytale retelling :)

[Pamela(AllHoney), Fairy Godmother]

Welcome to the challenge, Helena and thanks for the info on the book. I will check it out and see if its something that I might be interested in.

[Lisa Kay, Tinker Bell]

Welcome to the challenge, Helena. I'd add a pic, but Pinterest is not loading for me.

[Helena]

Thanks Pamela and Lisa. I do love a good fairy tale! I'm looking forward to trying out some of the other commenters' choices. I particularly like the look of Deb's The Cinderella Deal, by Jennifer Crusie. So many books, so little time!

[Deb]

I just finished My Unfair Godmother by Janette Rallison. This a young adult book and I loved it. I finished today which is Mother's Day. It was a wonderful book. I don't want to give anything away but it brought a tear to my eye. Happy Mother's Day to all you wonderful ladies.

[Lisa Kay, Tinker Bell]

Oh, I've read twice and loved it both time. I was thinking of listening to it on audio.

[Lisa Kay, Tinker Bell]

I don't think I've heard of ... I'll have to check it out.

[Lisa Kay, Tinker Bell]

Oh, that looks cute, Deb. And my library has it. Added it. ☺

[Brenda]

Just finished Beauty and the Beast from the Beast's POV. Which I thought was a really great angle and I just loved this story. I get all teary when the Beast lets Beauty go to be with her father (even in the Disney version when I watch it) and this book got to me the same way. :)

[Lisa Kay, Tinker Bell]

Aww. That's neat, Brenda.

[Melissa]

Read

I liked it, Jinni finally gets his wish of true love to come true.

[Lisa Kay, Tinker Bell]

Neat, Melissa. ☺
