Very, very last minute I decided to participate in the retellings reading challenge hosted by Tracy over on Cornerfolds. I went back and forth for a while but then I realized I had more retellings still on my shelves, seeing as any retellings count.
As you might guess this challenge is to challenge you to read some more retellings. They can be fairytales, mythology, history or classics that they are retelling. There are 5 levels and I am going for the 3rd level which is Elemental Witch. This is to read 10-15 retellings. I think I can manage that for sure.
Some possible reads
The Surface Breaks / Splintered / And I Darken / Wintersong / Dorothy Must Die / Stealing Snow / Wonder Woman: Warbringer / De Stem van de Zee
Bingo
Tracy also created a bingo card which makes me very happy.
Yay, we can be Elemental Witches together and be up.to no good. 💜

I don’t think i’ve read many retellings. The one that comes to mind is The Winters which was based on Rebecca by Daphne de Murier.
Potentially the Bear and the Nightingale?
But these prompts sound interesting so gonna do a little investigation 😀

The Bear and the Nightingale is a retelling to. The whole trilogy I think of russian folklore.
And they are. A great way to find some new reads.

I thought so too until I really looked. I forget sometimes that some books are actually retellings Or I don’t know.

I LOVE reading retellings. I could not pass the chance to join this challenge – it’s pretty much an excuse to read more and more retellings. =P Stealing Snow is so AMAZING! I hope you love it as much as I do.
Happy readings!;)

Ik vind het wel leuk dat je kan kiezen. Zelf zou ik eerder gewoon zoveel mogelijk hervertellingen lezen in plaats van de bingo te proberen vullen. Ik heb er nog wel enkele in mijn kast staan dus ik ben benieuwd aan hoeveel hervertellingen ik dit jaar ga komen.

Ik vind het altijd leuk om te zien hoeveel ik kan aantikken, al zullen niet alle hervertellingen die ik lees terug kunnen komen in de bingo card haha.
