There are a whole bunch of them and you can easily read them in a single sitting. Once Upon A Time Series by various authors–These YA books are short and sweet, with creative takes on beloved fairy tales. I’ll be writing a post on this one soon, but in the meantime, just know you should read it. Uprooted by Naomi Novik–This book…well it’s hard to describe just how good this one is. I can’t vouch for it yet, but I thought I’d share anyway. (Pied Piper)īitter Greens by Kate Forsyth–I just checked this book out from the library, and am excited to read it. It was one of the first books that made me want to write fairy tale adaptations. Fairy tales, with their gruesome, creepy, and eerie atmospheres (not to mention more than occasional witches, ghouls, and other creatures) make perfect reading for this particular holiday, but if you’ve already heavily perused your copy of the Grimm tales, here are some adaptations that might satisfy your fairy tale leanings.Īfter Hamelin by Bill Richardson–I remember reading this book as a kid and being fascinated by its point of view. So this week’s topic was a Halloween-inspired freebie, and since I’m not a horror aficionado and have not read nearly enough vampire/werewolf books to come up with ten possibilities, I decided to stick with something I would actually read for Halloween, namely fairy tale adaptations. Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly feature brought to you by the Broke and the Bookish.
