Once Upon a Time discussion

I have to say my favorite book so far is Belle: Retellin of Beauty and the Beast. I LOOOVED that book. It's really good and if you haven't read it, read it!

I love that one too, though my fav is probably... hmmm... it's hard. I think I'd have to say Snow

My favorite is probably Before Midnight. Then Golden, then Midnight Pearls, then Snow. And the Storyteller's Daughter, and Sunlight and Shadow.

I haven't read the new ones yet, but I am simply in LOVE with Snow. I think that that series is the next on my collecting list. But Snow is amazing. I don't even know why.

My favorites so far are Midnight Pearls and Snow. I didn't like Beauty Sleep as much as I thought I would, which was disappointing since Sleeping Beauty is my favorite fairy tale.

I probably loved Midnight Pearls the MOST. I just collected most of these books, and I'm going to re-read them all in the next month or so. HOORAY! =)

lucky! I really need to get them together soon.

I have too many favorites! So far they are Snow, Wild Orchid, Storyteller's Daughter, Rose Bride and Spirited. I still have a few to read though.

I agree. They're all too good.

I have to say now, since I've read all of them besides the new-new ones, I love Snow, Water Song, Storyteller's Daughter, Midnight Pearls, and I LOVED Belle. I would've loved Scarlet Moon except the ending sorta creeped me out. ewwwww. (:

what was weird at the end? the grandma helps them. they get married. that's all.

no the part where they realize the person aatacking people is her brother and if you go through his thoughts (at the beginning of most chapters) he wants to eat people.

oh. yeah. That was pretty weird.

I like water song and scarlet moon (even with the werid ending!

I think I like Violet Eyes best...and Snow is a close second!

I need to read Violet Eyes: A Retelling of the "Princess and the Pea"! So it's good?

Very good, although I may be kind of biased because Princess and the Pea was always one of my favorite fairytales. :)

lolz. It's in at the lib, but I have to wait til sat. :P

Hopefully it'll be worth the wait!

I just read Violet Eyes. It was pretty good. It was kind of silly, but was a cute romance :)

I'm about to start it. xD

I really want to read The World Above: A Retelling of "Jack and the Beanstalk"

Ooooh! So do I!

And I have to say I love the new covers. I love the old ones, but the new ones are so nice and beautiful. In fact, I want copies of every book with the old and new cover. Yeah, I'm a little wierd, but, oh well.

Yeah, I agree. I like the old covers, but I also love the new ones. They're very....fairytale-y

hi there i just really got into the retellings of fairy tales i have read Wicked and Beastly and Im about to start a Kiss in time. I was wondering what other ones are out there that you would recommend

Hi, Leslie!
I just finished "Sisters Red" by Jackson Pearce (retelling of Little Red Riding Hood), and loved it! I'd definitely recommend it to anyone who likes fairytale retellings.

Thanks Indigo I will check that out for sure :)

I would reccommend The Goose Girl by Shannon Hale. I also love Princess Academy by her.

I just got and read Violet Eyes: A Retelling of the "Princess and the Pea" last Saturday, and I'll get and read The World Above: A Retelling of "Jack and the Beanstalk" next Saturday. xD

Good plan! I still need to plot a way to get my hands on The World Above so I can read it :)

holds are wonderful things. xD

I've got to read Violet Eyes, The World Above, and Diamond Secrets. I'm really excited to read Violet Eyes now though cuz it sounds really good.

It's way cute! (Violet Eyes) I loved it. If you like the other books in the series, I think you'll like this one. xD

I'm WAY excited for Violet Eyes. I don't know it just looks good. I wish my library had it ):

I just read The World Above and I loved it! It was super cute. One of my new favorite Once Upon a Time books.

It sounds really good. I'll have to read it!

I didn't really get into The World Above. Mostly because I really need to break my awful habit of reading ahead. I think I could finish it now. I really liked it as far as I got. xD

Yeah, I always read ahead. It's a bad habit, but I usually can't stop myself.

I do sometimes when I can't stand the suspense and just want to know what happens next without reading 20 or so pages.

Exactly! I guess I'm just very impatient.

I hate doing it though because as often as not I don't want to finish the book once I've done it. D;

I used to read a bit of the end of the book i was reading, but i don't do it anymore. I also don't have a favorite book, but i like the Once Upon a Time series in general.

Ok, that was weird. Did anyone else feel like The World Above was both Jack and the Beanstalk and Robin Hood?

It was. I liked it, but yeah, kind of weird. They should have done a seperate book about Robin Hood. Maybe they still will, they have two beauty and the beast books. But, I think the two stories fit well together. I really liked The World Above.

I think Sprited is also sort of a Poccahontis book too. It's like Beauty and the Beast and Poccahontis all in one just like The World Above.

Pocahontas is beauty and the beast
