    Two of my daughters have read Ella Enchanted and loved it. My 11 year old asked for a copy of her own for Christmas last year. It was the first book she read that she couldn't put down and was constantly reading just for fun. 💗

    I was blown away when I read Shannon Hale's version of The Goose Girl about six years ago. I thought it was clever the way she managed to maintain suspense while still staying faithful to the traditional story. I went camping about two years ago and found a used copy of it at a little bookshop they had there and didn't hesitate to buy it almost right away because I wanted to read it again (technically, books at that shop were free, but you could donate money to keep the place running and I donated a twenty dollar bill because I was so happy that book was there)

      I so agree!! She did a wonderful job retelling the story! I hope she writes more retellings.

    Wonderful recommendations, Miriam! 📚 I read The Princess of Wind and Waves by Melanie Cellier (retelling of The Little Mermaid) 🧜‍♀️ during the summer for a book club. It is part of her Beyond the Four Kingdoms series. I would like to read the rest of the series. It was enjoyable. I have Cinder on my bookshelf.
    I wrote all of these titles down in my future reads notebook. These would all work well for my Folklore February Readathon. I want to read ALL of them! 😊
    I would recommend Snow & Rose by Emily Winfield Martin (middle grade). It is a retelling of “Snow-White and Rose-Red” by Brothers Grimm. 🧚‍♀️

    I have been in the mood to read fantasy lately and fairytale retellings sound so good to me. Now I have a list to start with. 😊 I think the only ones I have already read are Entwined and Enchanted Sonata. And I liked both of those... Several of the others you talked about are going on my list.

    • @miriamelizabethreads

      I hope you read some more amazing ones! They’re few and far between (the really good ones)

    Sooooo fun, Miriam! I enjoyed many of these, too! So disappointing about the second in the moon goddess- I haven’t even tried it! Is there a third, too?! I only read Disenchanted in that series and REALLY loved it! I definitely think you should try K. B. Hoyle’s Son of the Deep (gender swapped Little Mermaid) or her new Snow Queen retelling, Son of Bitter Glass.

    • @miriamelizabethreads
      @miriamelizabethreads  9 місяців тому +1

      I think there will be a third book! Ooo I’ll have to check those two out!!

    Always happy to see a book(s) on my tbr get recommended by you, as I know that increases the chances of it being a read I'll enjoy.
    🦄
    Here's some titles you might enjoy:
    Castle Waiting by Linda Medley
    The Hero's Guide to Saving Your Kingdom by Christopher Healy
    Snow and Rose by Emily Winfield Martin
    To Crack a Soldier by Sarah Beran
    The Hamster Princess series by Ursula Vernon (these are great for when you feel a reading slump coming on)
    Hope you're having a wonderful February, Miriam, both in and out of the pages!

    I've never gotten into fairy tale retellings. I read a few by Melanie Dickerson but i wasn't a fan of her writing style. I should try some of these because who doesn't love a good fairy tale?! 🧚‍♀️

    • @miriamelizabethreads
      @miriamelizabethreads  9 місяців тому

      I don’t like Melanie’s writing style personally so I get it!!

    This was so great! Lots of new books for my tbr! And I saw the middle grade Cinderella- Disenchanted at the library and was wondering if it was any good. Now I know! 😄

      @miriamelizabethreads oh good! It's a beauty and the beast retelling, not marketed as Christian but definitely allegorical elements present. I really enjoyed it!
