I'm really excited about this challenge. I love retellings of classic fairy tales. It all started with the Gregory Maguire books, and now Marissa Meyer. I just love twists on fairy tales. They are so clever!
The challenge starts on January 1st 2014 and ends December 31st 2014 and is hosted by Debz Bookshelf.
Challenge Guidelines
The goal of the read-a-thon is to read as many fairy tale retellings as possible.
There will be six different levels to aim for in this challenge:
Poor Cobbler: 1-3 books
Devilish Wolf: 4-6 books
Lady in Waiting: 7-9 books
Mountain Troll: 10-12 books
Evil Enchantress: 13-15 books
Monstrous Dragon: 16+ books
This challenge is only for Young Adult and Middle Grade retellings. No adult or children’s books count towards this challenge.
Because of confusion in the past, this year only straight retellings of fairy tales will count. No fairy tale-ish books, and no mythological or classic retellings.
Single novellas do not count towards this challenge, however a compilation of novellas or short stories can count towards this challenge.

I am choosing:
Lady in Waiting: 7-9 books
I haven't chosen my books yet, but I know that Scarlet and Cress will be on the list. I might re-read Cinder too.
I hope you have fun with this challenge! Meyer's books are amazing, and I still need to read Maguire's books. Thanks for signing up!
