Top Ten Tuesdays - Fairytale retellings

Welcome to another Top Ten Tuesday! This week’s topic is my top ten fairytale retellings which I’ve either read or want to read - this is so much fun for me! However, I’ve only read one of the books on this list, so it’s mainly a TBR Top Ten Tuesday. Enjoy!


1. Uprooted
I’m a massive fan of Rapunzel, so this is right up my street. It’s the fairytale retelling I am most excited to read - but I’m waiting patiently for the paperback.

2. Beastly
I haven’t read this book yet, but after writing this I’ve decided to order it. I really enjoyed the film adaptation, as it’s a really interesting take on Beauty and the Beast.

3. A Court of Thorns and Roses
this retelling is in my TBR pile, and has been for a while, so I’m hoping I’ll be able to get around to reading it either this month or next.

4. Cinder
I’m intrigued by this series, as each book is a different fairytale retelling, and I’m wondering whether to buy it next time I visit Waterstones.

5. Bewitching
this book really intrigues me, as it follows a witch over three hundred years of here life and has fairytale themes in it. I need to buy this right away!

6. Towering
that’s three Alex Flinn books in one post, but I really want to read all of her books - they sound brilliant and exactly what I’m looking for!

7. Dorothy Must Die
I’m struggling to think of them now, so I’m stretching the boundaries. My friend bought me this book for Christmas and I can’t wait to read it.

8. Tiger Lily
Peter Pan is my favourite children’s book, so it’s no surprise that I already have this book! I’m so excited to read it.

9. Alice in Zombieland
this is the only book on this list that I’ve read! It was very strange, a lot different to Alice in Wonderland, but it was a very good read.

10. Shadow and Bone
this was recommended to me in Waterstones last weekend as a good fairytale retelling - I can’t wait to check it out!

I hope you enjoyed reading this list, and let me know what you thought of any of the books I’ve mentioned! :)
