July 11th – 13th: Fairy Tales with a Twist
Read fairy tale re-tellings and give those childhood favorites a twist!
The Rules
- Sign up!
- Sometime between now and the end of the read-a-thon post on your blog, twitter, FB, Google+, Goodreads, Booklikes (you get the idea… somewhere!) that you’re participating. That’s the link you’ll need for the Rafflecopter.
- Read books that are in someway related to a fairy tale. When you finish a book do a general update with a link that you can put on the Rafflecopter. Example – on Goodreads you could write: “Great, cute book! 4 stars! Full review coming soon!” and that would count. (For COYER participants, just do something quick and then update with full review for COYER linky)
- Have FUN!!!
Not sure if all of these will count as retellings, but they’re definitely in the fairy tale vein.
- Supernatural Fairy Tales by Dorlana Vann
- The Storyteller’s Wife by Eugie Foster
- Never Ever After: Three Short Stories by Ruth Nestvold
I hav a book that’s been sitting on my shelf for a few years now that would be perfect for this challenge: “My Mother She Killed Me, My Father He Ate Me” – have you heard tell of it before? (I’ve also considered making fairy tales a suit in DMI but haven’t tried it thus far. Maybe next year…)
Didn’t realize that link would post the whole picture/buy on amazon thingy. Sorry bout that.
No worries.
I am so terrible at getting through anthologies that I had checked out “My Mother She Killed Me, My Father He Ate Me” from the library once, but didn’t get more than a few stories in. These two anthologies are bite-sized in comparison.
