Twists on Classics!


Happy Tuesday! This week we are talking classics. As a romance reader, I have read a plethora of Jane Austen retellings, but I wanted to see what else I could find on my shelves. As I was searching, I found more variety of retellings with my young adult books. Many of these stories were inspired by folklore, mythology, fairytales, and some classic literature. 
  1. Starry Eyes by Jenn Bennett - Romeo and Juliet
  2. Second Star by Alyssa B. Sheinmel - Peter Pan
  3. Bookish and the Beast by Ashley Poston - Beauty and the Beast
  4. The Only Thing Worse Than Me is You by Lily Anderson - Much Ado About Nothing
  5. Grendel's Guide to Love and War by A.E. Kaplan - Beowulf
  1. Exit, Pursued by a Bear by E.K. Johnston - A Winter's Tale
  2. Ensnared by A.G. Howard - Alice in Wonderland
  3. The Afterlife of Holly Chase by Cynthia Hand- A Christmas Carol
  4. The Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan - Odyssey
  5. Poison's Kiss by Breeana Shields- Ancient Indian folklore regarding visha kanya
