This is basically the Alphabet Book Game except Retellings version!
You start with a retelling book that start with A and then all the way to Z. Then we start again with different books! Are you up for the challenge?

Okay, I will start A Court of Thorns and Roses

Midnight Pearls: A Retelling of The Little Mermaid by Debbie Viguié

I've actually read this one! I really liked it actually. There were twists that I didn't see coming so I had a fun time reading it.

It happens it's okay. :)

I haven't read it so I'm not sure if it ends on a cliffhanger or not. Sorry I can't help.

Although it took a while, it was a great find Fridey. :)

Carina  Shephard (carinashephard) | 127 comments Red as Blood by Jes Drew. A Snow White and the Seven Dwarves retelling with a few Snow White/Rose Red elements thrown in. Interesting premise, poor execution, in my opinion.

Ohh I see. Good note.

Sun and Moon, Ice and Snow by Jessica Day George. I adore this book. It's such a fun read and has amazing flow, even if it leans on the side of children's genre a bit.

Faith Anderson Cursed For Keeps by E.J. Kitchens - A mashup of The Frog Prince and Snow White.

I haven't read it yet but it looks really good and I've loved some of E.J. Kitchen's other books that I've read!

Carina  Shephard (carinashephard) | 127 comments Dagger's Sleep: A Retelling of Sleeping Beauty One of my all-time favorite Sleeping Beauty retellings. ❤️

Ooh, a Frog Prince/Snow White mashup? Sounds intriguing!

Ellie and the Prince by J.M. Stengl. One of my all time favorites. The combination of the modern word the fairytale world combined into one was impressive! And I love Ellie with her compassion for saving the adorable cinder sprites.

@Faith I read the synapsis and it sounds amazing! Can't wait to read it. Thanks for the intro.

And the worldbuilding of Ellie and the Prince is amazing, hands down.

Nerdy Werewolf (nerdywerewolf) | 218 comments Gilded by Marissa Meyer

It's a new release YA Rumpelstiltskin retelling. I'm reading it now and it's got a high-fantasy/fae/Wild Hunt angle. Very cool so far.


message 45: by Kendra (new)

Kendra Ardnek | 64 comments How to Wake a Sleeping Lady by Bree Wolf, which is a very loooose retelling of Sleeping Beauty, but it had amnesia, which I liked, and the set-up for B&B in the sequel was interesting. (But the author took the series out of KU while I was reading it, so ... yeah.)

Just Ella (I know I already used this one. But I honestly couldn't find another J fairytale retelling. If someone else finds another J, don't hesitate to just comment it.)

Wow I just had The Fairest Son recommended to me by someone else. I have it get my hands on it soon!

The world building is amazing! Couldn't have said it better myself. :)
