My two personal favorites are “The bear and the nightingale” and “spinning silver”. Both are great folklore/retelling books with a cold winter atmosphere making it perfect for fall/winter.
My girls were little when the Barbie fairy tale retellings came out, and we used to own several on DVD, which included The 12 Dancing Princesses, The Nutcracker, Swan Lake, and the Magic Pegasus. Some books and authors of retellings that I can recommend: Fire and Hemlock by Diana Wynne Jones; The Snow Child by Eowyn Ivey; Thorn by Intisar Khanani; several novellas by T. Kingfisher; several novellas by Suzannah Rowntree; The Magnolia Sword by Sherry Thomas; Briar Rose by Jane Yolen; and, of course, quite a few by Robin McKinley.
I also think that fall is the perfect time for retellings. 😆 I have my own recs going up on Thursday but they’re all romance. There’s just something so perfect about autumn and fairy tales. 🍂♥️🍂
You sold me on Geekerella a while back and I read them all. LOVED those books. They’re cute and silly and super nerdy. They’re just quick, lighthearted reads that were a nice way to break up all the dense, heavier things I tend to read.
You should check out SECONDHAND CURSES. It follows fairytale characters Jack (jack and the beanstalk), Frank (Frankenstein's monster), and Marie (Belle and Beast's daughter) as a traveling band of mercenary-esque fighters as they stumble their way through other fairytales like Cinderella (but the Fairy godmother is actually a slave trader.) It's a dark and entertaining take on fairytales.
"I love the trees; they wouldn't betray me!" 🤣🤣 "A sexytime retelling of Beauty and the Beast".....I'm so excited to read ACOTAR..... I LOVE Fables! I read the entire series after playing Wolf Among Us. So good! Also, where is our Wolf Among Us 2??
Christina Henry is an author that has done several dark fairy tail retellings! I've read the one for Peter Pan and Alice in Wonderland and enjoyed both
To Kill a Kingdom, A Court of Thorns and Roses, Heartless, and Spinning Silver are some of my favorites! I really liked A Curse So Dark and Lonely too but I was disappointed by the sequel
One book I read every year during the fall is Poison by Chris Wooding. It's full english folklore and has Faeries in it, though not a traditional fairytale. Plus it has some good spooks for the Halloween season.
NA is new adult. And I think ACOTAR was originally marketed as YA because NA doesn't exist in book stores and because the story and writing style matches YA audiences more. Plus Maas already had a YA fanbase.
I have a weakness for Mercedes Lackey’s Elemental Masters Series. It loosely adapts old fairy tales. She later expanded it to include psychics and Sherlock Holmes and John Watson. They are set in Victorian and Edwardian Britain.
Any of the retellings by T Kingfisher (AKA Ursula Vernon). She writes crack! She is both funny and poignant in turns with an imagination so twisted it actually goes non-Euclidean! LOOOOOVE her! While she has other books too she has a whole series of twisted fairy tales. Bryony and Roses is a Beauty and the Beast retelling where the main character is a sort of average girl who gets into misadventure because of her garden. The Raven and the Reindeer is a retelling of a classic Finnish fairy tale. It is just about as delightful and fantastical as one could ever possibly want. And Ursula actually consulted real Finnish folklorist to make sure she was portraying it correctly. The 7Th bride is a retelling of a story I am not familiar with but I am assured it is a classic. It was a spooky but delightful mystery read. Plus she has 3 collections of short stories all of which are fabulous. Because I don't have much time to read, I really appreciate her writing style. Especially when life is chaotic, her work is easy to read and never fails to make me happy. I can't recommend her books enough!
I did read the first two And I Darken and was super impressed with the series so far. The main characters are not the usual YA style and I'm here for it! That's a Vlad the Impaler retelling if ppl aren't already aware. I was a fan of ACOTAR as well, bc I really liked Rhys immediately (ik, you're not supposed to, but I did) but it's def not like, the most amazing writing. Just super entertaining and I loved the friend group in 2nd and 3rd books. Happy reading!
I liked but didn’t love Uprooted, but I agree that it’s an apt fall read. Not sure if it’s the mood you’re going for, but The Last Wish, the first short story collection in The Witcher books, has some interesting folktale parodies. Thanks for the fun video!
I also enjoy the Snow Queen series by K.M. Shea (a frozen re-telling), not great but good. I loved Wicked by Gregory Maguire, it's a Wizard of Oz story told from the witch's perspective.
@@faith8488 , thank you!🎋 I've read those (at least two or three I think) like a decade ago, yet they left me obviously a good impression, as I remember them kindly. No flowery romance, a writing style quite wity and sort of classical, and finding indeed a fairytale vibe. I might pick them up again one of these days. I do miss the days before YA became the YA ...it has become. That's why I enjoy so much P.Pullman (especially the Lockeheart'serie), Cornelia Funke, something like The Alchemist series, Angie Sage... these days, those are labelled as Middle School I guess, and yet the writing is sooooo superior to anything YA/ "NA" (what the helle is this, the girls that enjoyed YA as they grew up and are incapable of growing out of it..?) these days... I'll check your other recommendation too. Not trying to offend anybody, I'm aware this is not the channel for me. But as a long time ago, when I was already over 3o, I enjoyed reading middle school fantasy and some YA dystopia (not the most famous though, even if I've read those too), and I'm quite curious to...where the genre has gone. For what I gathered from different channels...it pains me to no end. There was so much potential. On the other hand, Fantasy ( the genre for "adults" I guess, if you have to label it down- high/epic fantasy) has evolved,let's just say, in better directions. I'm aware that the most important thing is to read, whatever you like. If someone needs something light, with accessible prose, that's ok. It's fine, it's great. Yet it's no way an excuse for the real "dumbing down" that is happening. Many books and series published these days would never have been published 10 or 15 years ago. Not because of their content, simply for how poorly written these are. Many authors of quality are proof till this day, that you can very well write to younger audiences or people "looking for a fun time" without taking them for simple minded ... whatever. So sorry- it's late here and it's a subject I've been thinking a lot about these last few days, watching some of these videos. Basically just so glad someone remembered Wicked 🎋 Have a wonderful day 🌠
I feel like a lot of these books are ones I have had just chilling on my shelves for much too long! I honestly had no idea that 12 dancing princesses was a thing... now I want to find the Barbie movie LOL I am trying to work my way through the Lunar Chronicles now, I read Cinder and want to just finish the rest of the books at some point this year. I've been SO back and forth on reading ACOTAR... I am trying to get Allen from Library of Allenxandria to buddy read it with me though!
I love Fables. It is just such a good comic series. I even teach the first volume in a course on the depiction of oppression and oppressed peoples in graphic novels.
Robin McKinley actually has TWO Beauty and the Beast retellings that manage to be quite different from each other: Beauty and The Rose Daughter. I also loved her Sleeping Beauty retelling Spindle's End. Patricia McKillip's book In the Forest of Serre is a beautiful retelling of the Firebird. Juliet Marillier has done a few retellings as well: Wildwood Dancing is a YA retelling of the Twelve Dancing Princesses(she didn't add all 12), Daughter of the Forest is based on an Irish myth, and Heart's Blood (my favorite) is a Beauty and the Beast retelling. Also check out the Andari Chronicles by Kenley Davidson.
I'm currently reading fairetales, the original ones. Love them. They are so creepy!!! And I love retellings too. Thanks for the recomendations!! Hugs from Argentina!!
I just placed a hold on Fables at my library yesterday! So glad to see this comic here.. I’m now looking forward to it more than I already was! Can’t wait for it to come in now
I recently got into the Disney twisted tales and I'm loving them so far. There are now 10 stand alone books in this companion series written by Liz Braswell, Elizabeth Lim and Jen Calonita. These retellings are based on the Disney movies but with a darker twist. The books out so far are: Straight on till morning (Peter Pan), Mirror mirror (Snow white), Reflection (Mulan), Part of your world (little mermaid), Once upon a dream (sleeping beauty), A whole new world (Aladdin), As old as time (Beauty and the beast), So this is love (Cinderella), Conceal, don't feel (Frozen) and the newest one Unbirthday (Alice in Wonderland).
+ has library website open & requests all the books . . . + One I read this year and really enjoyed is Stepsister - it's technically not a retelling since it follows one of Cinderella's stepsisters but I would definitely include it in this category.
One fairytale that I have recently fallen in love with is east of the sun west of the moon. I haven’t found many books for this but one is called North child and another is called East and they are so good. It kind of reminds me of beauty and the beast in the sense that are girls captured and needs to live somewhere for so long. But the magic only works if she does not look at him for so many nights when he transforms. Of course something bad has to happen and she has to go on an epic journey to save her prince.
Hi Elliot. As video game fan I'm wondering if you've played A Wolf among us by Telltale games. Based on the Fables comics. It's well worth a look. You get to play Bigby in his comic book form. Thanks for all your videos btw ☺
Ellie eres hermosa pero más importante tienes una energía positiva que ilumina a todos. Soy escritor y lector y casi que tengo en mi tbr los mismos libros que tu tienes. Espero que estén bien tu y tu esposo en esta pandemia. Espero tu reseña del ultimo libro de Paolini.
I love a good fairytale retelling. Salt of House and Sorrows has been recommended to me a lot recently (not sure if the spooky autumnal vibes have anything to do with it), so I'm looking forward to it.
Haven't read A Curse So Dark and Lonely but I think I just might. I'm never excited for BatB retellings but somehow always end up really enjoying them? Lol (ACOTAR, Hunted by Megan Spooner and Beast: A Tale of Love and Revenge by Lisa Jensen) So, might just give this one a try as well.
I know a couple of books from the list, but the only one I've read is the comic book 'Fable' and I highly recommend it! Really love it. Thinking on other books in this topic, it quickly come to mind the 'Cruel Prince' by Holly Black. Also thinking on reading it, seems like a good read. Btw, going a bit off topic, I'm not sure if you read or have time to read some IG DMs, but I've sent you one showing Mistborn editions of my country (Portugal) that I think you'll really like the art. If you have time to check it out, just let me know what you think of.
My favorite retelling was a snow white short story by Tanith Lee, it's called "Red as Blood". My only problem with it is the heavy, and I mean heavy, Jesus overtones.
I loved the creepiness in a house of salt and sorrows, wasn't a fan of how the love story was done, though. Edit: Stepsister by Jennifer Donnelly was a fun read as well
I still need to read House of Salt and Sorrows. The reviews on it have been so good! I adored the Lunar Chronicles I was so hooked! ACOTAR is super Steamy! I love the Steam! I enjoyed to Kill a Kingdom! It was quite a bit darker than the Litter Mermaid but it was so much fun.
Maybe an unpopular opinion but I really hate the main protagonist of heartless. Went into the book very excited and hyped up but the whole story was spoiled because of the main character. Just opinion srsly
The barbie version of The 12 Dancing Princess's was very much apart of my childhood.
Also the music in that movie is a masterpiece
Definitely agree, should rewatch all of the barbie movies I own atm.
My two personal favorites are “The bear and the nightingale” and “spinning silver”. Both are great folklore/retelling books with a cold winter atmosphere making it perfect for fall/winter.
I have not read the Lunar Chronicles, but I have heard it was originally Sailor Moon fanfiction, which isn't a bad thing.
My girls were little when the Barbie fairy tale retellings came out, and we used to own several on DVD, which included The 12 Dancing Princesses, The Nutcracker, Swan Lake, and the Magic Pegasus.
Some books and authors of retellings that I can recommend: Fire and Hemlock by Diana Wynne Jones; The Snow Child by Eowyn Ivey; Thorn by Intisar Khanani; several novellas by T. Kingfisher; several novellas by Suzannah Rowntree; The Magnolia Sword by Sherry Thomas; Briar Rose by Jane Yolen; and, of course, quite a few by Robin McKinley.
And I Darken is a great retelling of Vlad the Impaler!
I also think that fall is the perfect time for retellings. 😆 I have my own recs going up on Thursday but they’re all romance. There’s just something so perfect about autumn and fairy tales. 🍂♥️🍂
Ooo sounds interesting, im definitely gonna have to check that out!
@@JadaSimons awwww, well thanks. I love me some romance. 😆

Christina Henry is an author that has done several dark fairy tail retellings! I've read the one for Peter Pan and Alice in Wonderland and enjoyed both
I recommend the Blackthorn and Grim, and also The Sevenwaters series by Juliet Marriller. They give me all the fall feels!
I loved the 12 Dancing Princess Barbie movie so much as a kid; need to get to House of Salt and Sorrows soon!
I love Stepsister by Jennifer Donnelly. That was such a satisfying book, and it's a standalone too
It's a fun book for sure, one you read for the specific trope and characters
To Kill a Kingdom, A Court of Thorns and Roses, Heartless, and Spinning Silver are some of my favorites! I really liked A Curse So Dark and Lonely too but I was disappointed by the sequel
I loved A Curse so Dark and Lonely!! i also liked the sequel, but I wasn't a big fan of ACOTAR...

@@laurakindle5356 That's probably why. And now they've changed it to a more adult audience.
NA....?!🤔....🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@mangalover0149 yeah, it does have some very explicit stuff in there
I’m so here for this
I have a weakness for Mercedes Lackey’s Elemental Masters Series. It loosely adapts old fairy tales. She later expanded it to include psychics and Sherlock Holmes and John Watson. They are set in Victorian and Edwardian Britain.
Yay! This is the video my fairy tale obsessed heart has been waiting for 🖤😍🖤

Thanks for the video. I love fairytale retellings. My favorite is Beauty by Robin McKinley. Julliet Marillier also has some good ones.
Best book/series for the Fall is definitely either Lord of the Rings or Memory, Sorrow , and Thorn (why not both)!

Yes, there's a sequel that follows what happens to her son after she dies. The author also has re-tellings about other fables like Cinderella.

I've recently read a song of wraiths and ruin (west African folklore), and girl, spent, Thorn (Serbian folklore). Both were really good 4-4.5 stars.
Those have been on my radar. Glad to hear good things about them.
I absolutely loved the Queens of Innis Lear, and I think I'm going to read soon Lady Hotspur! Long books and cups of tea are a match made in heaven!
I love your sweater! This video makes me so excited for cooler weather and to just cozy up with books ❤️ Fables sounds awesome 😍

Oh yes!! Fall = fairytales, fair folk, fae etc.! Totally! 🍂🍁🎃🧚 Thanks for sharing these recommendations!
I started reading A Curse so Dark and Lonely and I’m literally only 20 pages in and I have a feel I’m going to really enjoy it!
I real liked Neil Gaiman’s spindle and the sleeper too! I think that fits pretty well with this video

I love a good fairytale retelling. Salt of House and Sorrows has been recommended to me a lot recently (not sure if the spooky autumnal vibes have anything to do with it), so I'm looking forward to it.
Winter garden by Kristin Hannah is a really unique retelling combining Russian folklore with historical fiction 💕💕
CURSE SO DARK AND LONELY is my BOTY. I even loved the sequel and have kindle book 3 on pre order.
The first book was unexpectedly awesome. But I really disliked the second book. Hopefully I will like the 3rd book.
Haven't read A Curse So Dark and Lonely but I think I just might. I'm never excited for BatB retellings but somehow always end up really enjoying them? Lol (ACOTAR, Hunted by Megan Spooner and Beast: A Tale of Love and Revenge by Lisa Jensen)
So, might just give this one a try as well.
I highly recommend fables to anyone , i got into it from.wolf among us game on ps4
Way better then once upon a time or shows like that
YESSS IVE BEEN WAITING SO LONG FOR THIS EXACT VIDEO!!! 👌😍🦄

Loooove love love fairytale and folklore retellings!❤️
i needed exactly something like that
Your Fall TBR are always lit! 🤓
I love fairytale retellings! This video was great!
Spin the Dawn and Unravel the Dusk are fantastic.
I loved To Kill A Kingdom and, of course, ACOTAR. ♥️🌿
My favorite retelling was a snow white short story by Tanith Lee, it's called "Red as Blood". My only problem with it is the heavy, and I mean heavy, Jesus overtones.
Omg!! I’m so excited you did this video. I’m of need of some new ideas For folklore
I loved the creepiness in a house of salt and sorrows, wasn't a fan of how the love story was done, though.
Edit: Stepsister by Jennifer Donnelly was a fun read as well
I love this video topic! I die for a good retelling.
I am going to try and read some of these books 📚
The lunar chronicles got me into reading
For more of a gothic horror take on fairy tales, check out the bloody chamber by Angela Carter!
Incredible!
The Bone Houses is inspired by Welsh mythology and perfect for fall 🍂
I'm curious, I don't know if El said anything. But will her and her hubby play more video games? Or Card games again on the channel?
House of salt and sorrows is heart🖤
I love these recommendations 🧡
I still need to read House of Salt and Sorrows. The reviews on it have been so good!
I adored the Lunar Chronicles I was so hooked!
ACOTAR is super Steamy! I love the Steam!
I enjoyed to Kill a Kingdom! It was quite a bit darker than the Litter Mermaid but it was so much fun.
I like Pride and Prejudice and Zombies.
Great video!!!!!
Cinderella is Dead by Kalynn Bayron :-)
Which is ur favourite Disney cartoon??
Maybe an unpopular opinion but I really hate the main protagonist of heartless. Went into the book very excited and hyped up but the whole story was spoiled because of the main character. Just opinion srsly
