I can understand your frustration with not being able to read very much in one sitting. If you're looking for some shorter fairy tale retellings, Wendy Mass's <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/series/71530-twice-upon-a-time" rel="nofollow">Twice Upon a Time books</a> are pretty short (the first two are 200 and 180 pages, and they're standalones) is a good one. I also really love Vivan Vande Velde's retellings of fairytales, where every chapter is a completely different reimagining. <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1071257.The_Rumpelstiltskin_Problem" rel="nofollow">The Rumpelstiltskin Problem</a> is my personal favorite. It has such varied stories, and all of them are perfectly contained in single chapters.Jainahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02204775145211828620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8438649688703933478.post-76263138524999342462015-07-11T17:40:14.563-04:002015-07-11T17:40:14.563-04:00I enjoy fairy tale adaptations - and this one soun...I enjoy fairy tale adaptations - and this one sounds like a lot of fun! My only problem is that, like your teaser says, I don't like to put a good book down - and life with a busy infant means I rarely have opportunities to read in long sections (so I read a lot of nonfiction, which I find easier to put down, instead :-P)<br /><br />This is my first time on your blog - I got here via Semicolon's Saturday review. I'll have to take a look around!bekahcubedhttp://bekahcubed.menterz.comnoreply@blogger.com
