My Top Ten Retellings

One of my favorite kind of books is one that twists a fairy tale into something new. So I am doing this a little different in that I am going to mention the fairy tale then the book.

Cinderella:


 This first book in the Lunar Chronicles was the reason why I love retellings, especially when they involve science fiction.



Beauty and the Beast

Robin McKinley (note this is just one of the retellings she writes for Beauty and the Beast)




Persuasion

I love Diana Peterfreund retelling of Jane Austen's Persuasion 




1001 Nights

This is my favorite so far of Arabian Nights, but I still want to read The Wrath and the Dawn, it looks completely awesome



Jane Eyre

Another awesome combination of Science Fiction and the a classical tale.




Alice inWonderland

So far Splintered is my favorite in this category




Rumpelstiltskin
  

This one is good, but I think there is another one I am forgetting




Rapunzel- I have read a couple and Cress is on my tbr list, the others are just ok.

This is a retelling of a Grimm fairy tale of the Seven Swans, and one of my favorite books.

Phantom and the Opera, I really liked this book.




That is just a quick list of some of my favorites, I have more to read and others to ponder some more.
