Fairy Tale Retellings! discussion

Hey fairy tale fans! I’m still trying to get this group together, so while I’m doing that I just wanted to “say” that you can create any topic that is related to Fairytales! You do not have to run it by me! Also, if you have any suggestions to improve this group, please comment them below! I would love to “hear” them! 😉☺️

Can you add recommendation topics? Like a topic for villain recs and Goldilock recs

Wouldn't the Land of Stories be a fairy tale retelling?

Yes, sorry I'm working on getting more rec topics! I have no idea, I haven't read it yet, but you can create a topic for it! What retelling is it based off of?

It's how twins make their way into the fairy tale world! It's a pretty good book! You'll have to check it out! The Wishing Spell is the first book!

It's kind of based of quite a few! It has tons of twists!

Okay, feel free to discuss any books you want in this group!

Okay, thanks!

Pied Piper topic! It's a fairy tale! I'm reading a retelling of it rn! You can research more about it! It is so interesting...

Okay, will do!! Thanks :)

Which Pied Piper is it?

I believe she's talking about the Pied Piper of Hamlin.

Thanks!

Just so everyone knows, if there is a specific book of a retelling that you would like to discuss with others, post here (the title, author, and what fairytale (s) the retelling is based on), and one of us mods will create the topic. :)

I'd love to talk to someone about these:

The Grimrose Girls by Laura Pohl It's a retelling of Snow White, Cinderella, Beauty & the Beast and Sleeping Beauty (and many more!)...only they're melded in a current-day Switzerland boarding school. It was really fun to read!

Six Crimson Cranes by Elizabeth Lim This one's a melding of Madame White Snake (Chinese fairy tale), Tale of the Bamboo Cutter (Japanese fairy tale) and the Six Swans. It was everything I want in an adventure story!

I just put those topics up! Thanks for the suggestions.

Anytime! :)

Thoughts on a topic on where you read your books? What type of environment do you like to read in. I have some questions about the best environment to read. Do you have tea when you read, snacks, outside, inside?

Great idea! I'll put that up right away.

May I start a general topic that's simply "What Retelling Are You Reading Now?"

I'm actually immersed in my very own 2022 Retellings Challenge, and would love to compare notes.
