I absolutely loved this! I‘m a complete sucker for a Beauty and The Beast retelling and this one even had some spice.

It's T. Kingfisher. So it's good. It really is. I loved the characters, especially Hester and Penelope. And I loved the fact that the females make the stories, the males are barely there to be there and help out. Everything else is true Kingfisher. Magic, humor, fantasy. Can't get enough of her.

A Spindle Splintered | Alix E. Harrow

A short novella. I liked the concept but I wish it would have been a full novel with more character development and world building. A little heavy with themes of sexual assault so be warned before you begin. I loved the feminist themes but it just didn‘t land for me as a great retelling of a Sleeping Beauty story.

Read for #ChildrensClassicRead2025
I enjoyed the artwork in this version of the classic fairy tale. I went back & read the Grimm‘s version online to see the gentling down in the modern versions (like princes being banished rather than beheaded for not discovering the mystery). A quick & nostalgic read. 💛

InkedBookworm13 Have you read House of Salt and Sorrow? It's an amazing retelling of this story. 3d
DebinHawaii @InkedBookworm13 It‘s in my TBR! Maybe I need to move it up & finally read it. Thanks for the recommendation! 🤗 2d

After 3 weeks of avoidance and reluctant reading, I am DNFing my #FoodandLit choice for January. I'm half way through and I just do not want to keep reading. A shame, as I've owned the book since 2016!
Also pictured (and making her Litsy debut) is my cat, Delilah

Texreader Well Delilah is a beauty! And good to know this long held book isn‘t worth the reading, at least for now. 3d

Reggie This book was such a bore and I forced myself to finish it. Give yourself a Pat on the back for bailing. 18h
AbigailJaneBlog @Reggie so glad it's not just me! I was really intrigued by the prologue and then... nothing. 10h
AbigailJaneBlog @Texreader I'm intrigued enough to find a synopsis somewhere, but not interested enough to actually read the book! 10h

Once Upon a Winter's Night | Dennis L. McKiernan

In the year of our lord, 1991, there came a foreign movie I watched called The Polar Bear King about a girl who fell in love and married with man who was cursed. The curse was that she may never look upon his face. Well she did which caused him to be lost. She journeyed to rescue him through many a trial to win him back. This book is a retelling of that story which was a retelling of the Ancient Greek story of Eros and Psyche. Cat pic for fun

Fun and fairly quick read. Did not lean into the horror elements too much, but definitely a dark fantasy. My bookclub is reading this currently and everyone loves Hester 😂

SpeculativeFemale I read the first book in this series ages ago and then kind of lost track. I should really go back and check out the other books! 1w
