My Top Five Retellings
Needless to say, fairy-tale retellings are all the rage right now in the YA world. We're talking modern versions of Little Red Riding Hood, Cinderella, Peter Pan, and various other classics. Personally, I'm a huge fan of this new trend, and love reading twenty-first century versions of my favorite stories, especially when the princess is turned into a cyborg, high school student, or hard-core martial artist. So, without further ado, here are my top ten fairy-tale retellings and why:
1. Cruel Beauty by Rosamund Hodge
Based on: Beauty and the Beast
2. Cinder by Marissa Meyer
Based on: Cinderella
3. Sisters Red by Jackson Pearce
Based on: Little Red Riding Hood
4. Sweetly by Jackson Pearce
Based on: Hansel and Gretel
5. Splintered by A.G. Howard
Based on: Alice in Wonderland
So there you have it folks! These five retellings are some of my favorites, and are all thoroughly entertaining and genius. They have fantastic plots, witty dialogue, and thrilling modern twists on some classic tales. If contemporary fairy-tales are your cup of tea, check a few of these out!
And if you need an even more extensive list, I'll leave you with a few links!

Keeping yourself consistently busy all day is a great way to help with your anxiety. If you sit around all day, your mind usually wanders, causing you to feel anxious.

Your company's matching funds are like an automatic return on your money, on top of the returns from your 401(k) investment choices. Not taking full advantage of the match is like refusing free money.satta king

Not only will the flavor be different, but you will also be combining two sets of coffees that have different expiration dates and levels of freshness. Stick with the same brand and the same bag of coffee beans each time.
