ReplyDeleteHere are my Top Ten!
Mine too Tracy ♥and thank you :)
DeleteI have all the Lunar Chronicles books but I haven't read them just yet. I really want to get Splintered too!
ReplyDeleteYou absolutely need to read the Lunar chronicles Eileen, its a series that just keeps on getting better. I loved the novellas too. Marissa Meyer has such a talent!
DeleteI've hardly read any retellings and Cinder is on the top of my to-read list for that genre, people tell me that book might change my opinion of retellings. Because for some reason I am not really into retellings, but who knows maybe I just haven't found the right book yet.
ReplyDeleteNow that you mention it I believe that Cinder was the book that made me take a second glance at other retellings. I hope these creative and imaginative books will do the same for you. Thanks so much for stopping by Lola =D
DeleteYES! Absolutely love The Lunar Chronicles and can't wait for Winter. And to reply to your Twitter post.....THORN!! *SWOON* ♥
ReplyDeleteI have Tiger Lily and The Splintered books... haven't read them yet. I really need too. My husband gets mad that I haven't read Splintered and Unhinged b/c he's the one that bought me those books for V-Day. Lol!
Great list of books my friends!
Big Hugs xoxo

I remember that your hubby gave you those, I only read Splintered but would like to reading Unhinged soon. Thanks so much for dropping by and leaving a comment Michelle =D
DeleteI love The Lunar Chronicles and Tiger Lily. Splintered is on my list. I was thinking about marathoning it when the final book comes out in January. Glad it made your list. Great list!

I did fantasy :)
You're definitely in for a treat Laura, I hope you love them as much as I did.
DeleteLove The Lunar Chronicles series! And Splintered! Retellings are one of my favorite genres, and I've found some amazing gems. Dorothy Must Die is on my wishlist. So is Tiger Lily (but I'm pretty sure I have it on my kindle). Great list! :)

I have really been loving the retellings lately. Especially when they're mixed with sci fi like the Lunar Chronicles. Thanks for commenting Holly =D
DeleteListing re-tellings is such a great idea. I'm definitely going to look into some of these books.
ReplyDeleteMy Top Ten CanLit recommendations

I love the idea of canlit I can't wait to check out what you picked. Thanks for dropping by Shan!
DeleteDorothy Must Die, Cinder, and Splintered are all on my list as must reads. Great list. You should check out Death of The Mad Hatter by Sarah J. Pepper. I thought it was brilliant.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the rec Jazmen, I'm definitely going to check it out. Thanks for commenting =D
DeleteConfession: I have yet to read a retelling. I have convinced myself I don't like them, but um... how would I even know!? I bought Cinder though, and vow to read it soon! Such a great list, I will definitely be looking into reading some of these ASAP!
ReplyDeleteI really hope that Cinder changes your mind about retellings Shannon. I like the idea of revisiting old stories with a more modern feel to them. Thank you for visiting =)
DeleteI definitely agree with the Lunar Chronicles, that's one of the best retellings I've ever read. Splintered is also really good too!
ReplyDeleteI could probably gush over Cinder and the gang all day. Such a fantastic group of characters. Thanks for dropping by Val.
DeleteA lot of these are on my TBR list, I have heard such good things about Tiger Lily so I will start with that one :) Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteIt is a beautifully written story. It wasn't what I thought it was going to be. But I loved the unique idea of it being told in the point of view of a fairy (Tinkerbell) that couldn't talk. Hope you enjoy it.
DeleteYes! Amazing recommendations and chosen genre! The Snow Child is a retelling and made it to my list for Historical Fiction which it also fits under! :)
ReplyDeleteCheck out my TTT!
Katrina @ Chased By My Imagination
Thanks Katrina I like getting recommendations. Historical fiction is another of my preferred genres =D thanks for leaving a comment.
DeleteThe Lunar Chronicles are pretty close to the top of my list now! I'm excited for them. I have had Splintered for a while now but haven't got to it yet (one of my fav covers ever) and Tiger Lily I'm on the fence about but I may have to check it out if you say so! Thanks for stopping by Monique! Have a great day!
ReplyDeleteI haven't read any of the books you have mentioned in your list, but some of them are on my TBR pile and have been waiting for me to finally find time to read them for months, if not even years. Maybe, someday, I'll actually get to it! :)
