A series of books where Disney films didn't go quite the way we remember

Fairy tale Retelling ranging from YA to Adult (will be updating as I come across them)

There are so many books that take familiar Disney characters and give a little more. From standalones to series, I'm hoping to catch as many as I can!

a list of retellings of cinderella.

Stories that either retell Cinderella or showcase perspectives of different characters in Cinderella (the stepsisters, the stepmother…)

books that take inspiration from or are direct retellings of the classics, fairytales, myths, and legends.

The following is a list of fairytale retellings from the age ranges of young adults to new adult

these are all books that i had a visceral reaction to and would absolutely read again, if i havent already. (except sotr. never again.) ive almost definitely thrown most of these across a room at some point, or gotten up to touch grass and regain some sanity, and at least half ive sobbed through. all of them ive given a 5 star rating to, simply because of how much they made me feel.

basically, just a big, long list of all my favourite books :)

Retellings of European fairytales, legends, and classics that I've had lots of fun with, books ranging from obscure to mainstream
