I love fairytales! My favorite is Cinderela since I was a little kid. And my favorite retelling would be Alice in Zombieland
ReplyDeleteAWESOME! Cinderella is so great. I've really been wanting to read that one! So glad you like it!
DeleteI love fairytales! Growing up, I could never get enough of the Princesses, but my new favorite is Tangled! <3 Almost the entire YA list is on my TBR or is a book I've read already. Can't not love fairy tales!
ReplyDeleteTOTALLY! I <3 Tangled. Yay for YA! :D lol. No siree!
DeleteAwesome, awesome giveaway! I love fairytale retellings. My favourite since I was in elementary was Ella Enchanted. I borrowed it from my English teacher for months at a time until she told me I could just keep it, lol. Favourite fairytale would have to be the Little Mermaid though! Hans Christian Andersen's original is super heartbreaking.
ReplyDeleteSoooo glad you like!I LOVE to make collages and lists. lol. That book is so awesome! It is! I remember being shocked when I found out the truth.
DeleteI love fairy tales! I've been looking forward to this giveaway hop.
ReplyDeleteIKR?! I just had to host since I love them.
Delete+JMJ+
ReplyDeleteI love faerie tales! =) I find that I love the less popular ones the most, like The Swineherd or The Goose Girl--and I'm kind of grateful that Disney hasn't touched them. ;-)
Thanks for the giveaway!
I have to agree! My favorite one has been retold but it still feels like one of the less known ones to me. It's The Wild Swans. Totally. I feel like I'd be so worried Disney would botch it. (Even though Tangled was AMAZING)
DeleteI love fairy tales, love happy endings. I really liked Cinder as retelling of Cinderella, it's one of my favorites fairy tales of all times. I love Little Mermaid too, these stories made my childhood.
ReplyDeleteYay for a Magical childhood! And yes, CINDER is Epic.
DeleteI loved Enchanted by Althea Kontis!!! It was so so so good!
ReplyDeleteI'd love to win Beastly =)
x
I'm SO glad to hear that! It's one I've been really looking forward to!!
DeleteI love Fairy Tale because the story always happy ending, my favorite re-telling is Beastly (Beauty and The Beast) and Snow White
ReplyDeleteI'm hearing lots of good blurb on Beastly. Guess I need to read/watch it....
DeleteI don't have any favorite fairy tale story, but I like beauty and the best theme :)
ReplyDeleteI do to. It's got a good message to. :D And who doesn't love a big furry beast? ;)
DeleteOf course I like fairy tales. My fave is Beauty and the Beast. I don't have fave re-telling. :)
ReplyDeleteAaw that's okay. There are SO many good ones. :D Yay for B&B!
DeleteI haven't read a lot of retellings, only Beastly. And my favorite fairytale is Cinderella's story. I liked it retold in the movie EverAfter with Drew Barrymore.
ReplyDeleteOh yes. Ever After is a favorite of mine. I love how it's not all magic. It's real and it works and it's just so good!
DeleteI LOVE fairy tales. LOL I actually left a long comment on the fave fairy tale question in giveaway. So here it is again because I don't want you to miss this secret I figured out. Go to goodreads and search "a retelling of" and this really awesome Once Upon A Time series will come up. (there're a few books not in the series that come up too) I've read most of them. They're written by different authors and amazing!! My favorite is Midnight Pearls: A Retelling of The Little Mermaid by Debbie Viguie. I think you'd like them. They're quick and romantic and awesome-sauce! :D
ReplyDeleteYAY for secrets. Thanks Kathryn! :D I've heard of them and they sound so good! I have 3 of them in a omnibus. I think they're some of the ones by Cameron Dokey, but I've heard just as good things about them (Golden, Before Midnight, Wild Orchid). I will TOTALLY have to go check out the LM one! Sounds awesome! Thanks!
DeleteI love fairytales. My favorite is Sleeping Beauty. I don't have a favorite retelling but I would love to read Cinder.
ReplyDeleteCinder is great. I'm sure you'll love it if you love fairy-tales. Sleeping Beauty is for sure a fairy-tale I need to read more retellings of!
Deletei love fairy tale retelling...my fave is snow white and the huntsman...
ReplyDeletethx 4 the giveaway :)
THAT was a GOOD MOVIE. :D I loved Chris as the huntsman! Lol. Mirror Mirror was also really fun. You're welcome!
DeleteI love them! My very first fairy tale was The Little Mermaid and it's my favorite to this day. ;)
ReplyDeleteThat's AWESOME. :D I really like the story with the original ending for some reason. It's kinda cool to have one that doesn't have a happy ending. Lol.
DeleteI grew up watching fairytales especially those with Princesses. Being a child, you always dream that one day you become one. I love reminiscing those times. My all-time fave is Cinderella. :)
ReplyDeleteI totally remember that. I love dressing up as a princess for fun even now! Cinderella is an awesome one.
DeleteI love faerie tales. When I was young, my first encounter with faerie tales on my own was through the giant compilation of the Grimm versions that I had. It made me more than a little unpopular in my primary school when I told the other girls about how the prince /really/ knew that the sisters weren't the right girl, but I still love those versions the best to this day.
ReplyDeleteI have to agree! There's something addictive about sad fairy-tales. :D When they're DIFFERENT.
DeleteI love fairy tales! And I love happy ending! That's why I like to read so much!
ReplyDelete*sigh* I so know it...
DeleteI love fairytales! As I think pretty much everyone does. My mom pretty much read one every night to me before going to bed when I was little. I have so many favorites... I especially love The Little Mermaid, although the original fairytale doesn't have a good ending there. I also always loved Sleeping Beauty, Rapunzel and Rumpelstiltskin.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite retelling is Tiger Lily by Jodi Lynn Anderson, a retelling of Peter Pan about Tiger Lily through the eyes of Tinker Bell ^^ So amazing! ♥
Thanks for the giveaway! :]
I love fairy-tales. Totally Ditto. I'm glad you liked Tiger Lily, because I didn't so much. You're welcome!
DeleteI haven't read many fairy tales, but the ones I readed, I loved them. When I was little, my parents were too busy to read me fairy tales, and maybe that's why I'm not a huge fan.
ReplyDeleteHaha. Well I'm glad you enjoy them for fun now!
DeleteI have loved fairly tales my whole life. I even went so far as to write my college thesis on French Fairy Tales and the role of women. I've passed the love of Fairy Tales on to my teen now. We'd love any of the YA books you're offering. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteThat's so cool! A thesis on fairy-tale. Rock ON! And YAY for sharing the love! :D You're welcome!
DeleteI love fairy tales! Can't beat a happy ending! Reading splintered at the moment which seems like a real fairytale read!
ReplyDeleteI know right?! SPLINTERED! Yes! Can't wait to start my copy. :D
DeleteWould love to win here! Fairy retellings are the best. :)
ReplyDeleteThey SO Are!
DeleteAnd on a side note...I LOVE you profile pic!
I love fairy tales. My favorites are The Little Mermaid and Beauty and the Beast. Thanks for the giveaway! :)
ReplyDeleteThose are great ones! You're welcome!
DeleteI love fairy tales, but I prefer them with an edge. So I really like the modern retellings, like Beastly.
ReplyDeleteThat's really neat! I think it's cool modernized as well. Gives it a fresh....breath of air? ;)
DeleteI love fairy tales. They are amazing and just put you in a great mood!
ReplyDeleteThey are. Something about them is just...MAGIC!
DeleteI love fairy tales! I have a hard time picking a favorite, but it's often between Sleeping Beauty, the Little Mermaid, and Beauty and the Beast, although I did love Tangled! My favorite fairy tale re-telling has been Ella Enchanted. In fact, it is one of my favorite all time books and I have read it multiple times! A quick funny side story about Tangled. I'm a school psych and at the end of the school year last spring I brought some movies for a teacher to use in her room one day when she only had four students due to the rest being on a trip. I brought a variety, since there were three boys and a girl in the class. I stopped by midafternoon and what where they watching??? Tangled!!! All 4 Jr. Highers were enthralled! Loved it!
ReplyDeleteThose are great ones! :D EE is such a fun book. Perfect for re-reading! That is one AWESOME story! Hehe! That's so cool Stephanie! :D Thx 4 sharing.
DeleteMy favorites are Ella Enchanted and Cinder! And I loved A long long sleep, too! And if I were to win, I really really want to read The Sweetest Spell. Thanks for such a fun giveaway!
ReplyDeleteAll the way for Cinder. Ella Enchanted is a childhood favorite. Oh my goodness I'm so glad you like ALLS! I'm really looking to that one as well! I'm trying to decide if I just need to break in and buy it. lol. You're welcome!
DeleteI do love Fairy Tales. I love all the re-tellings for grown ups too. BEAUTY AND THE BEAST is my favorite & the book inspired by this tale Heart's Blood (Whistling Tor #1)
ReplyDeleteby Juliet Marillier is fabulous.
I LOVED her version of the 12 dancing princesses, so I should check out that book! Thanks for the rec!
DeleteI LOVE fairy tales, my fav is Cinderella, i want the glass shoes LOL
ReplyDeleteGlass shoes would be so cool, and though they never say it, I bet they HURT.
DeleteI love fairytales, every single one of them. I was recently introduced to fairytale retelling and I didn't know I can love a genre this much.
ReplyDeleteYay! I know right? It's just Magical.
DeleteLOVE THEM! I especially love Cinderella and Beauty and the Beast themed stories.
ReplyDeleteThose are great ones!
DeleteI really love them!! Specially how Disney uses them! :)
ReplyDeleteThey do some good stuff. :D
DeleteI love fairy tales... girls usually do, don't they? :)
ReplyDeleteMy favorite would be Rapunzel (and i try to be Rapunzel by growing my hair super looooooooooooooong!) and Beauty and the beast!
For the most part! I love Rapunzel!
DeleteI love fairy tales and my all time favorite is Beauty and the Beast. It has been since I was a little kid :)
ReplyDeleteThat's a great one.:D
DeleteI love fairy tales although it depends on the story if it should have a happy ending. I think I prefer them though. Love Beauty and the Beast and The Little Mermaid best! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteThose are great ones! :D Totally. It depends on my mood. :D
DeleteI love fairy tales. But Beauty and the Beast and Cinderella are my all time favorites. As for the re-telling, it depends. But I do love some historical (and contemporary) romance novels based on those two themes. ^^
ReplyDeleteThose are great ones.
DeleteI love fairytales, especially anything Beauty and the Beast.
ReplyDeleteThat is the most popular!!
DeleteI love love love fairy tales. I love both the traditional Grimm's Brothers, and the happily ever after versions too. And I normally love cracked/retelling too (as long as they're well done ;), though mash-up fairy tales are probably my favourite just b/c I like trying to pick them out) My favourite is probably The Princess and the Pea (I think it has to do with one of Gail Carson Levine;s book haha). sorry for the long comment!
ReplyDeleteYes Yes Yes!!! I love Princes and the Pea! I think you're the first to mention it. :D It is as well. I love comments don't worry about it! :D Yes for Mash-up!
DeleteI love fairy tales! My favorite is Beauty and the Beast. I quite enjoy fairy tale retellings with a modern twist. Pretty lame random fact, but Belle means Beauty, so in French, the title is La belle et la bete.
ReplyDeleteThat is the most popular one yet! WHOA. That is way neat! Thanks for sharing!
DeleteI've always loved fairytales. I grew up with them. And they're one of the reasons why I read. I want a good love story. :)
ReplyDeleteI remember as a child, Cinderella was my fave. Up until now. I loved Marissa Meyer's retelling, Cinder.
Best growing up stuff. :D That is such a great one! And Cinder totally gives it justice.
DeleteI love fairytales! Always have, Always will! My favorite Fairy tales are Cinderella and Peter Pan. My favorite retelling is Tiger Lily.
ReplyDeleteThose are both awesome ones. Glad you enjoyed TL, I didn't like it too much.
DeleteI'm a huge fairy tale fan. They often have some great characters and always a happily ever after.
ReplyDeleteAnd the villains - they're always so deliciously evil.
Thanks for the giveaway.
for the most part anyway. YES. Evil Queens rock my socks. You're welcome!
DeleteI love fairy tales!
ReplyDeleteYay!
DeleteLOVE Fairy Tales and Retellings. My fav so far is a The Jane Austen Academy series by Cecilia Gray. And The Other Slipper by Kenechi Udogu. Both of those are retellings! :D
ReplyDeleteThose books are adorable! Oooh. I should look into The Other Slipper. Sounds good.
DeleteI love retellings, especially when they add a new twist.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the giveaway.
Those are always really neat. Welcome!
DeleteI love fairy tales and my favorite is Beauty and the Beast! Also, Tangled is awesome!

DeleteI love Cinderella and I enjoyed the retelling in Shadows on the Moon.
ReplyDeleteI'll have to read it then!
DeleteCinderella is my favorite fairy tale. Thanks for the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteI love that one! You're welcome!
DeleteI thought that a lot of the original versions of fairy tales are depressing (if not morbid), so I prefer adaptations.
ReplyDeleteAdaptions are great in that retrospect.
DeleteWhat do you think of Fairy-Tales? I love Fairy-Tales & reading retelling of them, it allows you to learn more about the characters or see new perspectives.
ReplyDeleteWhat's your favorite? Beauty & the Beast
Favorite retelling? Violet Eyes: A Retelling of the "Princess and the Pea" by, Debbie Viguié
Thanks for the giveaway!
It really does!
DeleteThat's a great one.
I've heard fab things!
You're welcome!
I love fairy tales, if I'm feeling really down the best thing for me to get back on my feet is to watch an old Disney movie :)
ReplyDeleteThey really are so great that way. :D
DeleteI love them! Especially the Disney versions. My favorite has always been Beauty and the Beast.
ReplyDeleteI love fairy tales and the creative re-tellings. My favorite re-telling was actually an episode of Grimm(a favorite show) which was a twist on Cinderella. I also enjoy Once Upon a Time.
ReplyDeleteThanks :)
My favorite is Sailor Moon! I consider it a fairy tale and I think its the best! RANDOM FACT: Did u all of the world will end in 2012 bc Mayan crap isnt true? Im being serious the Mayan calender is circular and it has 2 different calcenders within eachother. The whole circle constists of a 52 year cycle. In Dec of this year it will be 52 year leading teh cycle to start over again. Im an anthropologist major and seeing the Mayan calendar as the reason for the world ending is so freakin annoying!
ReplyDeleteI love fairy tales and my fave re-tellings are Beastly and Red Riding Hood(the 2011 movie starring Amanda Seyfried and Shiloh Fernandez). :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the giveaway!
I am way to tired for random facts right about now. I wish I had something but the only thing I keep coming up with is a pillow. I will however, be able to answer a question. I love fairy tales. Probably more so now than when I was a youngin. I love any and all of them now. Once Upon A Time is the best show. I love it. It is awesome to see all of the tales come to life. Thanks for the giveaway. Sorry I have no random gem of a fact for ya. :(
ReplyDeleteI haven't read many fairy tales but I really want to. Which is why I'm so excited about this hop. But I do love all the Disney fairytales, especially Beauty and the Beast and I actually really enjoyed the new Snow White and the Huntsman movie too. Thanks for the great giveaway!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite retelling would be Beastly ! It was a nice twist on the classic fairy tale beauty and the beast. I know you LOVE it too ! HEHE
ReplyDeleteI'd love to win Ironskin, THANK YOU :)
I feel so behind! Need to read! I want that one too! You're welcome!
DeleteI love faity tales. My favourite one is Cinderella.
ReplyDeleteLove them too! That is one of the best!
DeleteI love fairy tales. I read so many of them growing up, the non-disney versions, although some of them had been tamed. My favorite is Princess and the Pea.
ReplyDeleteThat's a fabulous one! Super fun to read.
DeleteBeastly was cool! The movie anyway, I haven't read it yet. I'd love to get Cinder, for now anyway
ReplyDeleteI've heard good things.
DeleteI like the idea of fairy-tale retellings, although I personally have not read any yet. I read many growing up, and of course I know the Disney versions.
ReplyDeleteDisney rocks. You should read some! You'd like them!
DeleteI love fairy tale retellings! Two I love are Ella Enchanted and Just Ella!
ReplyDeleteThose are some really sweet books!
