As well as being my entry for the Top Ten Tuesday linkup this week, this post is also one of my contributions to We Love Fairy Tales Week, a blog party I am hosting on my other blog. Check out this post for more details, a fun blog tag, and links to all the posts from other participants! Plus, I'm running a fairy tale-themed giveaway as part of the event, and you are welcome to enter that if you're a fairy tale fan too :-)
Fun direction to go! Happy Tuesday!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Cindy! Glad you enjoyed it :-) Happy Tuesday!
DeleteSadly the only book I read is McKinley's Beauty and I do like that couple.
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely day.
Lissa, well, that's a good one to have read, for sure :-)
DeleteI love your take on the freebie this week!
ReplyDeleteHere's my TTT: https://readbakecreate.com/favorite-romances-read-in-2025/
Thanks, Pam! I had fun coming up with it :-) Thanks for stopping by -- I'll check out your post right now!
DeleteSo many retellings out there I haven't even heard of! Retellings seem pretty popular these days though.

Laurie, there are a lot of them out there! Definitely a popular style right now. Thanks for dropping by!
DeleteWhich of the couples you've written is your favorite?
ReplyDeleteProbably Marta Beckmann and Arthur Wendell from My Rock and My Refuge. But I am very fond of all of them, to be honest :-) Or else I wouldn't pair them up!
DeleteBEAUTY is the only one of these that I've read and it was a looonnggg time ago, so long that I don't remember much about it, sadly. Perhaps it's time for a re-read...
ReplyDeleteHappy TTT!

Susan, well, Beauty is a good one to have read, if you're only going to have read one! I just reread it last month, and it was such a delight all over again :-)
DeleteSnow and Chase often end up on my lists of favorite couples, too. <3
ReplyDeleteChloe, and so they should!!!
DeleteThese are all new titles to me, but you've got me intrigued. I've jotted down a couple of 'em to look for at the library.
ReplyDeleteRuth, oh, that's cool! I love it when I can bring books to someone's attention like this :-) Most of these are indie pubbed, so you may need to request them from your library, or see if they have the ebook or audiobook editions available via something like Libby or Hoopla?
