Listen up book world, I am on SUCH a fairytale retelling kick these days! (This makes it sound like I’ve been reading a lot, which I’m actually… not. *cries* So “these days” is more like “the past six months.” But that’s a post for another day.) You’d think that with alllll the retellings already out there, we’d be scraping the bottom of the barrel by now. But some of the ones I’ve read recently have become my New Favorite Books of All Time. It seems there’s no end to the creative twists and sparkly new worlds (or dark and gritty depths) to dive into!

So I, your resident fairy godmother, am here to play matchmaker with YOU, dear reader, and five of the best fairytale retellings on my bookshelf. Some are new to me, others I read years ago.

But first before we continue, let us take a moment to mourn our TBRs.

Also please sign this waiver saying I’m not responsible for any injury that may occur when said TBR falls over in the middle of the night and crushes you in your sleep okay thank you carry on.
