Something you guys MIGHT know about me is that I am obsessed with retellings. I love them. I think they’re the greatest genre (is it a genre?) ever to be written. I have very rarely met a retelling I didn’t love and these are the top ten that I’m really hoping I get to in 2017:
Peter Pan – Lost Girl by Chanda Hahn
The Little Mermaid – Drown by Esther Dalseno
Beauty and the Beast – Hunted by Meagan Spooner
One Thousand and One Nights – A Thousand Nights by E.K. Johnston
Vlad (Lada) the Impaler – Now I Rise by Kiersten White
Beauty and the Beast – Of Beast and Beauty by Stacey Jay
Beauty and the Beast – Hunted by Meagan Spooner
One Thousand and One Nights – A Thousand Nights by E.K. Johnston
Vlad (Lada) the Impaler – Now I Rise by Kiersten White
Beauty and the Beast – Of Beast and Beauty by Stacey Jay
Persuasion – For Darkness Shows the Stars by Diana Peterfreund
Frankenstein – Such Wicked Intent by Kenneth Oppel
My favorite retellings are usually Beauty and the Beast and Peter Pan, so it shouldn’t be any surprise that there are a couple on this list! I’ve also never read a retelling of The Little Mermaid and the cover of Drown is gorgeous so I’m looking to get my hands on that one ASAP! And I’ll admit, I’ve never read Persuasion, I don’t know anything about Blackbeard, and I didn’t know much about the historical Vlad the Impaler before reading And I Darken, but I’m excited for each of these retellings anyway!
Have you read any of these? Did you love or hate them?
Are any of my list on your TBR? Let me know in the comments!
