AH, retellings! My new obsession. 😉 And I’m loving how diverse retellings are becoming – diverse characters, diverse genres. It’s no longer the same-old same-old (modern-day Cinderella, Snow White, etc.) It’s exciting. So I’ve listed five fairytale retellings I’ve read, and five retellings I’ve added to my TBR. Enjoy!

      I really enjoyed Stitching Snow! And I look forward to Spinning Starlight, because I’m excited that it’s a retelling of a lesser known fairytale. Thanks for commenting, Selah! 🙂

    Ahh! Yes to all of these Brooke! I couldn’t agree with your choices. Gah…after such an awesome first three books in the series, the long wait for Winter is absolutely torture. Thanks for sharing and fabulous post & choices! ♥

      Aw thank you so much Zoe!! 🙂 Oh, I totally agree – my patience is slowly beginning to run out and I need Winter in my hands NOW!! Not only because I’m excited to meet Winter and to read her story, but to know how it all ends! (Cress and Thorne!?? I need more!) Thanks for commenting <3
