It‘s so much fun reading the different versions! Each one is slightly different. All the illustrations have been beautiful. Soon I‘ll start the Crown of Twelve: A Twelve Dancing Princesses Novella which is the 1st of the Crowns of the Fae Trilogy ( or novella + duology)
Thanks @TheBookHippie

I saw @Amiable posted her favourite reads from past #AuldLangSpine matches, and I love the idea! As I look forward to reading from @CarolynM's list in 2025, here are my faves from my past awesome matches:
@MeganAnn - The Girls at the Kingfisher Club (historical fiction meets fairy tale retelling at its finest)
@sprainedbrain - Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine
@monalyisha - World of Wonders (so good I've read it twice now!)

#StorySettings Day6 Seaside
This is a dark retelling of the 12 Dancing Sister. It takes place in a seaside village. In this story, the FMC is grieving the deaths of 4 of her sisters. She begins to have visions and starts believing their deaths were no accident.
They pulled him into the circle with them and danced slowly, so he could follow their steps. Even so, Azalea felt a warmth flicker within her. It was the best dance that had ever done.

pick4✨This book has been on my TBR forever! It is a retelling from the twelve dancing princesses. I‘m going to be honest I never heard of that German made fairy tale, but I‘ll be reading it soon. 12 princess sisters in this retelling are cursed to dance every night for the Stone King with his 12 sons. Naturally, their kingdom is under a spell where they can‘t help, and any prince that tries does! I love fairy tale retellings so this was awesome! 😍
#LuckyInLove Day8 Dancing
I instantly thought of this book for dancing. This book has a group of sisters who sneak out to dance the night away at glamorous balls.

When I was young, I loved Faerie Tale Theatre, especially The Twelve Dancing Princesses. I watched it all the time. The tagged book was a decent retelling set in the 1920's.
The pic is me and the hubs dancing our first dance at our wedding.
