I decided that when there is a week where I’m not feeling the current TTT topic, I might dive into the archives to pick a topic I haven’t posted before! For my inaugural post of the throwback TTT edition, I’m making a list of fairytale retellings I still want to read, of which there are many.
The Shadow Queen by C.J. Redwine– I’m dying to give this Snow White retelling another try.
All The Ever Afters: The Untold Story of Cinderella’s Stepmother by Danielle Teller– if there’s one thing I can’t resist it’s a POV switch!
Ash by Malinda Lo– f/f Cinderella, sign me up.
Bitter Greens by Kate Forsythe– historical fiction Rapunzel!! This has Morgan written all over it.
The Forbidden Wish by Jessica Khoury– an Aladdin retelling with a female jinni!
Hunted by Meagan Spooner– I’ve heard nothing but amazing things about this Beauty and the Beast twist.
The Secrets of Eden by Brandon Goode– m/m Cinderella with magic! What’s not to love?
Sea Witch by Sarah Henning– still searching for an amazing mermaid book, hopefully this story with a villain’s twist will be the one.
Blanca y Roja by Anna-Marie McLemore (10/2018)– Snow White & Rose Red meets Swan Lake, with Latinx and LGBT+ rep. Yes please.
Transformed: The Perils of the Frog Prince by Megan Morrison (03/2019)– you thought I’d let a retelling list go by without a Tyme book on it? HAHA!
What are some of your favorite fairytale retellings? Have you read any of the ones on my TBR?

Ooh I love this topic, Morgan. I always love reading a good fairytale retelling. I’ve only read The Shadow Queen, The Forbidden Wish and Hunted from your list and I enjoyed all three. I’m so curious about Ash and Bitter Greens especially.

Thank you! Me too! I’m super curious about Ash and I’ve had Bitter Greens on my list for so long- I always find it interesting when they give the story a historical twist!

Hunted is AMAZING and I definitely recommend reading it as soon as possible! It’s probably the best beauty and the beast retelling I’ve read – and I’ve read quite a few! 💕

Every time I see a Tyme novel, I think of you!
I love fairy tale retellings, but I haven’t read too many — the only ones I’ve loved are Scarlet (from the Lunar Chronicles series, which I still need to finish!) and Geekerella! That one was so good!
What made you put down The Shadow Queen?

You just made my whole night!!! ❤ The Lunar Chronicles is great, such a good series ender in Winter! Oh I looove Geekerella, very adorable! It was mostly because my library hold ran out just as it was getting really good haha.

I thought Hunted was pretty good, and I actually have The Shadow Queen out from the library right now! Hoping to give it a go tonight. Spindle’s End and Beauty by McKinley are still some of my all time favorite fairy tale retellings. 🙂

That’s so funny! Did you enjoy it? Oh gosh I loved Spindle’s End! I read it so long ago that I don’t remember much except loving it. I need to try more of her books.

I did! I haven’t gotten to the next book in the series yet, but I think I’ll definitely continue it. Spindle’s End is still one of my all-time favorites. 🙂
