I like McKinley, but haven't read Spindle's End--I'll add it to my list.<br /><br /><b>Cheryl</b> - I don't know that I will stick to one retelling, there are so many possibilities! I've added some Marillier to my list, but I haven't read anything by her yet, just seen several reviews.jenclairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06046532245054911248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22616974.post-65484227030025733792012-03-24T16:15:50.584-05:002012-03-24T16:15:50.584-05:00I LOVE McKinley's Beauty, and her Spindle'...I LOVE McKinley's Beauty, and her Spindle's End is great too (also a good alternative if you don't want to stick to just one fairy tale).

So far I'm enjoying it.<br /><br />I loved the essays in <i>Mirror, Mirror</i>; hope you enjoy the book.<br /><br /><b>Caroline</b> - Fairy tale retellings and analogs always fascinate me, and there is such a variety from which to choose. So many good authors and poets have enjoyed playing with fairy tale themes.<br /><br />Some of the goriest, most graphic fairy tales had beneficial effects for the essayists in <i>Mirror, Mirror</i>. Really interesting reading.jenclairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06046532245054911248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22616974.post-53548190652407853912012-03-23T05:28:53.679-05:002012-03-23T05:28:53.679-05:00I am planning on reading Fairy tale retellings, I ...I am planning on reading Fairy tale retellings, I notcied I've got quite a pile.

I...haha, Witches of Eileanan was almost on my list. I have it and a few of the sequels here somewhere. When Marg told me about Bitter Greens I couldn't help thinking that if I actually read the books on my TBR pile once in a while I could have all ready been a huge fan of her books... It just got too time consuming when I decided to add pretty pictures...<br /><br />I hope you enjoy The Summoner! <br /><br />I kind of forgot about Donna Jo Napoli. I also read and enjoyed Zel. I should look into her other books. The McKinley was good and I hope to read the Tepper this year...<br /><br />And, I have Mirror, Mirror on the Wall. I started it last year, but it just didn't happen. I should try to make it a priority this year!Kailanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11136262232046813471noreply@blogger.com
