Retelling - A Week of Recommendations

I am so happy to have been able to share A Week of Recommendations with you all. I hope you've enjoyed the different days and themes and maybe even found a book or two. I would love to get some more recommendations as well! Anyways today is the final day of A Week of Recommendations, and we're ending with probably one of my favorite genres of books- retellings. Whether it's mythology or fairy tale or classic story, I love retellings and how they create a whole new story from one I love with different perspectives, characters, worlds, anything really. A retelling is a whole new story that resonates with one I already know and love. 

I hope you've all enjoyed this series, let me know if you've shared any posts with Recommendations! And be sure to check out Fairytale Fortnight, a series hosted by A Backwards Story and The Book Rat that's currently going on if you're a fan of fairy tale retellings! Special thanks to Sunny for sharing her recommendations throughout the week as well. I hope you've enjoyed the series, let me know if you'd like another Week of Recommendations, and I'll see you next time!

 From the paper world,
V

      thank you so much for participating! it was so much fun to see your posts as well. retellings have always been some of my favorite novels, and probably the genre of novels I've always loved from the time I was little and talking about them and chatting about our favorites is always such fun. it's always great to talk about how much we love retellings!

    I've only read Splintered and Cinder from this list and I can see why you've recommended them because they are incredible. I've also had Of Metal and Wishes on my TBR list for quite a long time. I didn't even realize it was a retelling until this moment. Might have to pick it up sooner rather than later. Thanks!

      Of course! Thank you so much for stopping by. Splintered and Cinder are amazing. Of Metal and Wishes is one I picked up recently and read, and it's a really unique Phantom of the Opera retelling that I enjoyed and I am so excited for the sequel.

    I've only read The Lunar Chronicles! I did recently buy a copy of Of Metal and Wishes which has been on my list for some time now. I love The Phantom of the Opera (book and musical) so I'm pretty excited, especially because it comes recommended by you!

      Thank you so much Cassi! You're too kind. I really enjoyed reading it, and I love The Phantom of the Opera as well, so I was super excited to read the book. I can't wait for the sequel that's coming out in August!
