Top Ten Tuesday | Fairytale Retellings


This is a weekly list meme hosted by the wonderful bloggers at The Broke and the Bookish. 

Who does not want to be a princess, a hero, or both? 

If you said you don't then you are obviously in denial. 

But, since not many countries operate on a monarchy anymore, finding a prince to marry is a lot harder than it used to be. So, I have to settle by living the princess lifestyle vicariously through the wonderful world of fairytale retellings. It helps that there are so many amazing ones to choose from. 

Retellings are contorted versions of the fairytales that we all know and love, including Cinderella, Beauty and the Beast, Snow White, and many more. 

And, since I am such a rebel, I am also including retellings of other classic stories.
