Snow White and Rose Red | 
pickThis was a perfectly enjoyable if very straightforward retelling of the classic fairy tale. I've always rather enjoyed this one, and in this version I liked the way Wrede included excerpts from the original at the beginning of each chapter. There was nothing groundbreaking here, but if you like fairy tales, this was a nice read. It also checked off several squares for various bingo cards, so I was able to score some last-minute points!!

These #fairytaleretellings were among my first - the Faery Tale series edited by Terri Windling and Ellen Datlow dates from the 1990s and each tale played with time period and setting in interesting ways in relation to the original tale. It also set me up as a lifelong fan of the likes of Charles DeLint and Patricia Wrede 💕

I'm halfway through with this month's #travellingbook and it's been a bit of a slog. I think I would have really enjoyed this book--the Elizabethan period, the gentle romance--when I was younger, but it's not what I would pick out now.
This book is early entry into the (very tired imo) fairy tale retelling trend, part of the Fairy Tale series edited by Terri Windling. How do you feel about fairy tale retellings?
