Cinder but its a series a good one though!
+1 for the lunar chronicles. Loved it.
Beauty by Robin McKinley
@Anne I just listened to this on audible. I read it years ago and thought it slow, but liked it a lot more this go round.
This one is actually available in Libby. I’m gonna give it a shot!
I love a lot of her retellings. I’ve read a few of them multiple times.
Let me know what you think!
A court of thorns and Rose’s, sea witch, heartless
Dennis L. McKiernan’s Once Upon A Winter’s Night and the rest of that series.
A Court of Thrones and Roses is a loose retelling of Beauty and the Beast and is amazing. The whole series is, but it does stop being much of a retelling eventually.
This one is on my list but not available in my library for like 2 months ? small town life
Which one?
The court of thrones. I haven’t heard of the Dennis one

We recently saw Wicked on Broadway. Is the book the same story?
@Barbara yes
Not exactly the same. They changed a lot of things to make it work on stage and made it more shallow and more suitable for younger audience. I liked them both but the story in the book is much better.
@Megan thanks! I’ll have to check it out. ?
Well no film, play or TV adaption is always the same…it’s always changed sometimes where it doesn’t really match the source matter (WWZ). And the book is always better. But the play is based on the book Wicked. It’s not a faithful adaption but the gist is there
But it’s so good! I think I read them all!
Wicked? I’m trying so hard. But it feels so tedious. I’m about 200 pages in or so, she’s at boarding school.
It’s been a long time since I read it. I remember enjoying it. I think I liked the 2nd book the best. A lion among men.
There’s a whole series of twisted tales.
Heartless. A Whole New World
