  1. Um, I'm amused by the above spam comment. :D

    Anyway, I was just coming out here to say that "Snow, Glass, Apples" is one of my favorite short stories ever! Such a great retelling.

    1. I almost didn't delete it! Hilarious. I listened to it when I was commuting back in the early 2000s, and it still stands out as awesome.

  2. Oh so many good ones to choose from! I adore fairy tale retellings -- love this list.

  3. Apparently, not my genre. I could only think of Wicked and I haven't read it.

  4. Just skimmed your post for Beauty as I actually have that one on my shelf. Bummer that you didn't love it, though! I did read the first Fables earlier this year and enjoyed it...but I'm so overwhelmed by how many issues there are! Another great graphic novel series is Castle Waiting--though sadly there are only two volumes and it likely won't ever be finished.
