Not long ago I discovered a few of you tweeting to get me to the 300 follower mark. As little things I read on Twitter often do, that one sort of made my day. You're all really too sweet for words and I joked that perhaps it was time for a giveaway. The truth is I've been in the mood to have one for awhile now and this is as good a time as any. So here's the deal. This will be a triple prize pack giveaway , meaning there are three packs and you can indicate which one you'd like to be entered to win in the comments. I will choose three random winners and contact them. This giveaway is open to anywhere The Book Depository ships! Here's the list of countries , FYI.

I just commented on your guest post over there! I've read very few retellings, but you absolutely piqued my interest with Valiant and Jane. Plus, I loved Princess Academy by Shannon Hale and have wanted to read The Goose Girl ever since. Thanks for a whole bunch of great recommendations!
ReplyDeleteI loved your guest post! I haven't read some of these...I'll need to remember to borrow them from you. :o)
ReplyDeleteAngie, You know I love a good retelling! And I loved your list. My current favorite retelling came from your blog: The Jumbee. I adored the new twist on Phantom, and was totally absorbed in the world Keyes created. My favorite thing about a retelling is the way the original story works, in the background, to inform my understanding of the current story, adding depth and sometimes complexity beyond what's written. I love when an author can use the original with integrity, but give me something new and surprising. That's what I found in the The Jumbee, and it just made me so happy! So thanks for the introduction!
