The stories of fairy tales are universal but when you read the originals, they are often frustratingly short and feature no depth of character. <br /><br /><a href="http://gotmybook.booklikes.com/post/1405576/musings-ttt-audiobooks" rel="nofollow">My TTT list</a>Got My Bookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14504371573041967671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9095485939252735520.post-56110418890592452972016-06-07T19:41:44.709-04:002016-06-07T19:41:44.709-04:00If you like the more out there retellings, I do re...If you like the more out there retellings, I do recommend For Darkness Shows the Stars. It is my favorite Persuasion retelling and it has so many changes but the elements are still there!

Like Cinderella set in space (LOVE the Lunar Chronicles). The weirder the better in my opinion, but I do like the ones that still follow the basic storyline. :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17868609458342079265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9095485939252735520.post-447552464594379272016-06-07T11:50:35.296-04:002016-06-07T11:50:35.296-04:00Great topic!

Love tha...Oh yes, great pick for this weeks prompt! Love that this prompt means nearly all our posts are about something different. I LOVE retellings! They are some of my favourite type of reads, and ACOMAF recently blew me away. I love seeing how different authors take the story and make it their own. I definitely have found some new fairytales I had never even heard of thanks to retellings.
