    The only one that comes to my mind at the moment is Ella Enchanted. Of course it's not the same as Cinderella but there are similarities.

    Hi! Thanks for the giveaway!
    My favorite retelling is Beastly by Alex Flinn. I loved the book. The movie wasn't as awesome though (but I still enjoyed it).

    I have been hearing a lot about the many books that are coming out now that evidently are retelling of fairy tales, but I have not read one to my knowledge, if I have the fairytale was not recognizable as such by me :) I have read a lot of UF and of course those are generally based on myths about the supernatural, but who really knows :) Thanks for sharing today. I found your blog today over at Candace's Book Blog and am glad I did. I have signed up to follow and look forward to reading more of what you have to say. Thank you for the awesome giveaway opportunity.

    I admit, I haven't read that many, so my choice would have to be "Just Ella" as I don't remember reading any other retellings of fairy tales right now (how sad is that).

    I have no idea. I think that Hunger games are based on some myth, but I'm not sure. But I am going to read Young adult version of Red Riding Hood. :D

    Hi! Thanks for the amazing giveaway! I've been wanting to read both these books very much! :)

    I don't think I've read any modern retelling of fairy tales, but I have got two books which I will be reading very soon: Ash by Malinda Lo (a retelling of Cinderella) and Mermaid by Carolyn Turgeon (a retelling of The Little Mermaid)!

    "What is your favorite book retelling a fairy tale or a popular myth?"

    There's a few that come to mind, like Hans Christian Anderson's "The Snow Queen" and the re-telling of it by Wendy Delsol in her books, Stork and her soon to be released Frost. Then there's also Beauty and the Beast in the modern re-telling from of the novel Beastly, which I've just recently read and absolutely loved. :)

    I follow you through GCF - Susan Haugland. I've also tweeted and facebooked about this.

    I'm not sure if I've read any fairy tale retellings or mythological.. hm. They're both pretty high up on my reading interests but I just haven't picked any up yet. Lord of the Rings, perhaps?
