Top Ten Tuesday is a thing where we get given a topic, and we have to list our ‘top ten’ things for the topic. Pretty self-explanatory.
Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by The Broke and the Bookish

This Week’s Topic: Top Ten Fairytale Retellings I’ve read/want to read

1. A Court of Thorns and Roses, by Sarah J. Maas

2. The Sacred Lies of Minnow Bly, by Stephanie Oakes

3. Cinder, by Marissa Meyer

And the Top Three Fairytale retellings that I want to read:

1. Tiger Lily, by Jodi Lynn Anderson

2. Mechanica, by Betsy Cornwell

3. Cruel Beauty, by Rosamund Hodge

So, guys, help me out here…I am obviously in serious need of some fairytale retelling recommendations.

So…aeons ago I was tagged by Emily at The Loony Teen Writer to do the Gif Tag, where basically I have to find a gif that accurately sum up my feelings for the list of given books, and then tag other people to do the same.

We Were Liars, by E. Lockhart

Since writing this post, I have gotten this book for Christmas…still haven’t read it yet.

If I Stay, by Gayle Forman

The Assassin’s Blade, by Sarah J. Maas

I knew it was coming…didn’t make it any easier

Mockingjay, by Suzanne Collins

Technically two gifs…but whatever

Dangerous Girls, by Abigail Haas

I did NOT see that ending coming!

The Book Thief, by Markus Zusak

The Maze Runner, by James Dashner

So, I haven’t actually read it yet…but this gif was too good to resist.
It’s on my shelf.

Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe, by Benjamin Alire Saenz

And I’m still debating whether or not to read it…

Cinder, by Marissa Meyer

And, because it’s been so long, I’m not even going to bother with the tagging.
