This is going to be a weekly post for Saturdays featuring anything “Bookish” I find myself obsessed with. In most cases, this will be a certain type of book/read/author. I might branch out to include covers, as well, but we’ll see. By “obsessed”…I mean I own tons of/go out of my way to collect!
This week:
Fairytale Retellings
And no way in HECK I’m going to gather all my physical copies for pics, because there are SO. MANY. So I’m just going to put up the cover images instead.

I binge read her books when I was younger, ella enchanted was my fav of course, but fairest was great too and there was this one that made me sob, I think it was called the two princesses of bamarre or something like that and another that I forget. She was like my elementary school idol haha

I can see why! Despite having only read Ella Enchanted, I remember really adoring it! That was back in my book “snobbery” phase, though, so I’m leaning toward “I missed out” in regards to the rest of her work. Boo on me.

Oh maybe you did haha, I just remember re reading them over and over because my school’s library had all of her books. But at least you’ve gotten to other great ones like you’ve mentioned in your post 😉
