This Weeks Question/ Topic
What books would you give to newbies in your favorite genre? via Take Me Away…
My latest genre obsession is Retellings. Ever since I read Cinder by Marissa Meyer I can't seem to get enough of them! Since Cinder hooked me it stands good to reason that it will hook you too. The Lunar Chronicles is a fabulous series that just keeps on getting better. Who's as excited for Fairest & Winter as I am? Squeeeee!!
Another great choice would be The Queen of Hearts Saga by Colleen Oakes. It's a look into the younger years of the notorious Red Queen.
Have a safe and sugar filled night! =D
OOOh nice! I'm a fan of retellings too! There's an older series...one that started when I was either in middle school or high school...that was written by multiple authors. Each book is a standalone and they're all a fairy tale retold. At one point they called it the Once Upon a Time series or something like that! Long before the show!
ReplyDeleteThey were good! Really quick reads too. Pretty much straight up a fairy tale retelling. My fave was by Tracy Lynn called Snow and was a retelling of Snow White in where the "dwarves" were kind of mutations/experiments that resulted in half human/half animal of some kind. And naturally they queen still wants to kill Snow and that's when she kind of joins their group.
It was really enjoyable and I'm probably not doing it justice with so little explanation. It was one I happily re-read too when there was a time I didn't have anything new to read! There were a lot. They are on goodreads if you can find the series, but by searching for one you should find the others!
Here's my Follow Friday

Thanks for the recommendation Jessica. I'm definitely going to look these up. So happy you stopped by have a fantastic Friday!
DeleteI love a good retelling and Cinder is definitely one of the best! My absolute favorite right now is the Splintered series but I'm pretty sure you've already read that! ;) Old follower!
ReplyDeleteHere's my F&F!
I have read Splintered Tracy. I love the direction the author took at the end of Unhinged! I'm pretty excited for Ensnared.
