#FairyTaleRetelling

I‘ve never really been one to reread books. I‘m always anxious to get started on a new book and find a new fav. But I have been thinking a lot about some of my fav books and decided to give this one a reread since I originally listened to it on audio. So far, it lives up to how I remember it. Bizarre, dark, gruesome, and magical ✨🦢

Maybe I need to reread books more! How often do you reread favs? How do you balance new reads and rereads?

BookLove4Ever I almost never re-read books, but I have been thinking a lot about From Lukov with Love by Mariana Zapata. So good! Maybe at the end of the year I‘ll try. 1d
Butterfinger I reread if a favorite series publishes a new book. I see the characters as friends and love to get back into their world. Everyone is different. I know that when I become depressed, I will reread a favorite childhood book. 1d
zezeki I think I usually reread maybe 3, 4 books per year. It happened a few times that if I really like a book I will reread it immediately after finishing it, but that's mostly for shorter books. 😅 For me, rereading my faves is very comforting, and sometimes helps me get out of a reading slump, and I do like to return to some of these books every once in a while. 1d

Absolutely fantastic version of sleeping beauty. I really love when authors take an existing fairytale and completely turn it on its head.

Nevermind the astonishing amount of cat hair. Bastet has been rolling around.

Stormy outside, cozy inside.

This one is so good so far. I love T. Kingfisher's writing.

July‘s #bookspin comes from a very limited selection, since I‘ve packed all but 3 of my books 😱. The other are audio from Libby and Libro.FM. If I happen to have enough time for more there‘s always my kindle or the library! Hopefully my shelves will be set back up by the end of July. 📚

TheAromaofBooks Best wishes on the moving!! My husband is hoping to finish building our library shelves this weekend - it's been sooooo fun to start getting books settled into their new home!! 3w
Soubhiville @TheAromaofBooks post lots of photos! We all want to see the results! 3w

5✨ This was not a surprise 5 Star for me because I have read it close to when it was copy written in 2003/2005. I loved it then and I love it now! It also caused me to follow the author ever since. The princess Ani is forced to become Isi and the Goose Girl for the king of her arranged marriages land. All in her company died to save her, but the villain in this story did not anticipate the talents of Ani‘s animal speak, and her determination.

This was just a lot of fun. I liked how the friendship developed between Fi and Shane and all their adventures. I wasn‘t totally convinced by the romances (very insta-love) and the twist on the Sleeping Beauty story. But overall, I enjoyed it and will consider getting around to the sequel at some point.

little #library haul. “Can‘t spell Tea without Treason” fulfills my libraries and the r/fantasy‘s bingo square for “Cozy”. The Burning God fulfills another bingo square. #
