Hello lovelies! I hope you all are having a great weekend so far!
Top 5 Saturday is hosted by Devouring Books and today’s prompt is: Retellings!
I LOVE retellings — Jane Austen, Sherlock Holmes and Alice in Wonderland especially. Not all of these were five star reads for me but I really did enjoy each of these books and I would definitely recommend readings them if you haven’t!
This was one of my favorite reads a few years ago. I loved this take on The Goblin King but I did feel like it should have been a standalone. I haven’t read the second book, Shadowsong, yet but I do plan on reading it one day.
While this wasn’t one of my favorite reads ever I really loved the idea behind this book, and the rest of the books in this series. Maniscalco’s take on Jack the Ripper was truly novel and I really enjoyed the story she wove.
I love Alice in Wonderland and while this one wasn’t my favorite retelling, I did really enjoy it. It didn’t break my heart like I wanted it too but Meyer did a fantastic job exploring what made the Queen of Hearts so ruthless.
