I hadn't heard of A Thousand Nights but I will definitely be checking that out. Have you read Uprooted by Naomi Novik yet? Its a beautiful fairytale, kind of a mash up of a few of the classics but its amazing. I would definitely recommend it! <br /><br />Happy Reading<br />Rachel @ Paein-and-Ms4Tune.co.ukAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13462897366593147743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2462635747209874096.post-7047205283932967652015-05-19T14:33:52.344-04:002015-05-19T14:33:52.344-04:00My daughter adores Beastly by Alex Flinn too and h...My daughter adores Beastly by Alex Flinn too and has a couple of her other books (retellings) and was appalled by the movie.

Retellings could even be considered a trend. Like you, I ADORE the Lunar Chronicles too. It's such a different, quirky reboot of these fairy tales spun in a way that's very hard to put down until you get to the end. I cannot wait for WINTER!<br /><br />Thanks for stopping by and consider yourself entered to win.Perpetual New Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03503229575558686922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2462635747209874096.post-45240175744171816432015-05-19T12:50:50.786-04:002015-05-19T12:50:50.786-04:00Oh, fun list!

It's a postmodern retelling of The Inferno. But I will read just about any Cinderella retelling out there.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11439310901664701862noreply@blogger.com
