Today I’m excited to announce my first challenge I will be taking part in for 2015! It’s the Fairytale Retelling Reading Challenge hosted by the lovely Mel over at The Daily Prophecy. I’m really excited to be participating seeing as fairytale retellings seem to be a trend in YA that’s not ceasing to grow anytime soon, and there are a lot of them on my TBR for the upcoming year!
According to Mel, here are the guidelines for the challenge:
    • The challenge runs from January 1st – December 31st 2015.
  • The goal is to read fairytale retellings, but if you want you can also pick other retellings. It’s up to you what you count as a fairytale. Here are a couple of books you can pick from: my bookshelf with fairytale retellings and Fairytale lists on Listopia. You can read Middle Grade, Young Adult and Adult books for this challenge. Obviously, the book doesn’t have to be published in 2015.
  • There are 6 different levels you can aim for:
    -Prince Charming: 1 – 4 books.
    -Magic mirror: 5 – 9 books.
    -Big bad wolf: 10 – 15 books.
    -The wise princess: 16 – 20 books.
    -Wicked fairy Godmother: 21 – 25 books.
    -Bluebeard: you are killing it! 26+ books.
  • Every beginning of the month I will make a link-up post where you put all your reviews in and they will have fun/informative introductions.
  • It’s not a promise, but there might be challenges.
  • Most important thing: HAVE FUN and spread the word 🙂

I’ll be aiming for the Magic Mirror or Big Bad Wolf level (5-15 book range, but I’ll also be counting novellas) so look out for my reviews! Here are some of the books I especially hope to read in 2015 for this challenge:

Fairest by Marissa Meyer

Winter by Marissa Meyer

Damsel Distressed by Kelsey Macke

Crimson Bound by Rosamund Hodge

Gilded Ashes by Rosamund Hodge

A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J Maas

I can’t wait to get started on these titles! Are you planning on reading any fairytale retellings in 2015?

  1. I just nominated you for the “sisterhood of the world blogger award” congratulations! I will put the post up on my blog in a few minutes so you can go there to get the questions!

  2. […] I’ve been slowly making utilizing my giftcards from Christmas and picked up two books from Barnes & Noble this week that I’ve had my eye on for a few months now. The Book of Ivy has a gorgeous cover and has a plot that reminds me a lot of the show Revenge. Damsel Distressed is a Cinderella based retelling and I can’t wait to read it for the Fairy Tale Retelling Challenge! […]
