5.7 - Flag by Jasper Johns
Johns made over 40 works based on the US flag See it, reworking the traditional colors as a monochrome White Flag in 1955. Read a book with a genre that contains "Retellings" on its main book page.

may I please have Burn verified for retellings? Thanks.

Could you please verify Longbourn for the genre Retellings? Thanks!

I always thought Retellings had to be fairy tales retold, but I found this book Emma by Alexander McCall Smith. Would it be OK to use it for this task? (a retelling of a Jane Austen story)

Thanks, Dlmrose. This is a relatively new genre for me, so I was unsure. I've only read a book based on fairy tales in the past.

[Ann A]

Would this work? It's currently listed as the last genre on the main page, but it's nested as "Fairy Tale Retellings".

Cinder

Cinder"

yes, that works, it is " a book with a genre that contains "Retellings"

[Daphne]

I've already read this and highly recommend it if anyone is in search a beautiful retellings collection: A Wild Swan: And Other Tales. There is a beautiful illustration for each story done by Yuko Shimizu that makes it even better. :)

If you prefer a female author that writes for women really well IMO, you can't go wrong with The Bloody Chamber and Other Stories by Angela Carter :)

[Lauren]

Please confirm A Midnight Dance - currently has Fairy Tale Retellings (4 users) on the main page.
Thanks

Before it goes away again, will you confirm Retellings for Fairest? It comes off every 12 hours and it made me miss it and I'm angry now.

*cheer* You're my favorite mod! Thank you!

I have a question about genre. If it says that the specified genre needs to be a "main page genre" does that mean that any of the genres showing when you are on the goodreads page of the book counts? I saw in a previous posting (in message 2 of the questions/problems in completed tasks) that Fairest did not show retellings but when I went to the Fairest page it did, it was the sixth genre showing, so I wasn't sure if it had to be in the top three to count as main page genre.

Just wondering because I planned on reading Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West for that and the genre retellings shows but it is ninth genre on the book page, so I wanted to make sure it counted. Thank you!

It is the genre that shows on the main book page. But the display can change.
