Hi I saw your fairytale retelling recommendation list and I wanted to ask if you have recommendations for beauty and the beast retellings in particular? Thank you in advance!

Thank you for the ask! I saw your other ask clarifying that you were specifically looking for Fae Beauty and the Beast retellings. I do have a couple that I've read that I can suggest.

A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J Maas

Curse of the Wolf King by Tessonja Odette

A Deal with the Elf King by Elise Kova

Heart of the Fae by Emma Hamm

An Enchantment of Thorns by Helena Rookwood

I know you weren't asking about nonFae Beauty and the Beast retellings, but here are a couple suggestions anyway because I like them a lot:

Hunted by Meagan Spooner

A Curse So Dark and Lonely by Brigid Kemmerer

I hope you find a good read or two out of these suggestions! Let me know!

Also if anyone has any other suggestions, feel free to reblog and add!

These Bitter Blooms, Emma Hamm

[princessneleam]

Finished reading Heart of the Fae by Emma Hamm a couple nights ago and I cannot get the characters out of my mind. Doesn't help that the main dude has so many similarities to Sandor, like, give me a 7ft tall scarred up emo dude who's brother betrayed him (and caused the most massive scar), has a rough voice and is a grumpy dude upon meeting the pretty redhead with the sweetest heart (but steel in her soul). Like, SanSan similarities off the charts while still being their own characters. So much good beauty and the beast there. AND THERE ARE NO FICS FOR THE PAIRING 😱 I must rectify that after reading the second book in the duology. (Eammon's buddy Bran (a raven unseelie which, yet another thing that makes me think Hamm is a asoiaf fan) is a sweetheart too)

The Faceless Woman

Author: Emma Hamm

First published: 2018

Rating:  ★★☆☆☆

Two perpetually horny people with the attitude of whiny teenagers endlessly banter annoyingly while hiking the Otherworld (or was it Otherlands?). They are totally into each other just because. Everything they need is immediately gotten. Every question they ask is immediately answered. There is a cat.

Lady Audley's Secret

Author: Mary Elizabeth Braddon

First published: 1862

Rating: ★★★★☆

A good example of a book that seems to be good, but not THAT good, but then it really turns out there is more to it than it first seemed. I enjoyed myself! Also, I would recommend it to anyone who would like to get into classics but is not ready for the likes of Dostoyevsky (Is anyone truly ready for Dostoyevsky?)

My Sister, the Serial Killer

Author: Oyinkan Braithwaite

First published: 2018

Rating: ★★★★☆

A dark, intriguing exploration of how far family loyalties can lie, peppered with uncomfortable truths and secrets. Not really a thriller, if that is what you are looking for. Thanks to very short chapters it read extremely quickly.

Death on the Lusitania

Author: R.L. Graham

First published: 2024

Rating: ★★☆☆☆

Like... I wasn´t mad at this, you can certainly tell a huge amount of historical research went into constructing this story, but all in all it read very dry. Furthermore, I chose to read this book because the tragedy of Lusitania is something I have been fascinated with for a long time now yet in the book its tragic demise comes about with little urgency and takes a surprisingly small space in the overall length of the book. The famous ship is a background setting rather than the main event and you never get to explore her.

Peach Blossom Spring

Author: Melissa Fu

First published: 2022

Rating: ★★★★★

Somebody messed up and so in my edition of Peach Blossom Spring every single instance of the word QUIET was replaced by QUIETEN, which jarred the eye and flow of the afflicted sentences. But not even that could take away the sensitive, melancholy beauty of this book. A historical fiction with just the right amount of background information without over-explanation, it follows a family trauma and how characters with that trauma make their decisions and change over time. By the end, I felt very deeply for all the characters and, even though my own culture and heritage are completely unrelated, trace the certain human traits we all seem to share, portrayed with great care.

Weird Medieval Guys: How to Live, Laugh, Love (and Die) in Dark Times

Author: Olivia Swarthout

First published: 2023

Rating: ★★★★☆

Perhaps not laugh-out-loud funny, but amusing and clearly written with much love for history. I only wish the physical book was larger, so the pictures could be viewed in more detail and my weak-ass-eyes not struggle to read the small text.

The Imaginary Lives of James Poneke

Author: Tina Makereti

First published: 2018

Rating: ★★★☆☆

Though quite short, there is a lot going on in this book. The story is that of a native boy from New Zealand who, after losing his family and people, gets an English education and makes his way to London is set in the 19th century and focuses on issues of predatory colonialism, insensitive treatment of people who look different and eventually also sexuality. There is a profound sadness etched into all of it. I was not sure whether the sexual angle was necessary and the one explicit scene felt jarring, as if I suddenly was reading a different book altogether.

Crypt: Life, Death and Disease in the Middle Ages and Beyond

Author: Alice Roberts

First published: 2024

Rating: ★★★☆☆

Unfortunately, this wanted to be a lot and ended up being a not uninteresting but rather confused, unanchored and disjointed collection of papers. Not recommended if you are primarily interested in history and not biology.

I, Coriander

Author: Sally Gardner

First published: 2005

Rating: ★★★★☆

I would have eaten this up as a kid! As an adult, I still enjoyed it a lot, but I must say the historical parts of this story worked much better than the fantasy-infused ones. Could Sally Gardner possibly rewrite this story as an adult horror? Because that would be blood-chilling.

The Beekeeper of Aleppo

Author: Christy Lefteri

First published: 2020

Rating: ★★★★★

This book started as a weary, melancholy journey and ended up being an explosion of pain. The story is told from the point of view of Nuri, a Syrian refugee trying to make his way to the UK while trying to stay strong for his blind wife and hopes for some normalcy in the future. Because you only get his interpretation of events Nuri is sometimes an unreliable narrator, which, I personally think, explains some of the points other readers have criticised. Nuri does not give a comprehensive and complex portrayal of his journey, he is simply engulfed in his own thoughts and existence, noticing select things and reacting to select situations. It is an exploration of trauma anyone can relate to, while at the same time, it absolutely does call one's attention to the very real plight of refugees, happening right now. It is beautifully written too.

Kaikeyi

Author: Vaishnavi Patel

First published: 2022

Rating: ★★★★☆

It is always dangerous to choose an actual religious story rather than a mere myth to retell and spin in a way that would be innovative, respectful and not feel redundant. Vaishnavi Patel has managed to win this uneasy battle by choosing the possibly most interesting character of the mix and creating a complex woman who is fantastically human in her errors and yet you cannot really feel for her, especially in the last part of the book, because she reasons, she fights, she repents, she questions herself. I especially liked the focus on the conflict between the male sense of pride and honour and what was presented as a much more feminine trait of letting things go to avoid war and pain. The middle part of the book did feel rather sluggish and the equality of the sexes, at times, bit too on the modern nose, but the heart of the story prevailed. No doubt there will be Hindus taking offence at liberties and changes made, but since the author herself is a Hindu, I believe it is not my place to argue for or against this case.

A Manual for How to Love Us

Author: Erin Slaughter

First published: 2023

Rating: ★★☆☆☆

Let´s just say this was not for me. The stories were certainly weird but with not much impact (bar one). I bought this book because it has a gorgeous cover and somebody said the stories are connected (which is one of my favourite things in books), but if the connection is there, I could not find it. Just because it is all weird, sad and weirdly sad women does not "connected" mean.

A Romanov Fantasy: Life at the Court of Anna Anderson

Author: Frances Welch

First published: 2007

Rating: ★★★☆☆

In comparison to The Resurrection of the Romanovs: Anastasia, Anna Anderson, and the World's Greatest Royal Mystery this book is definitely not offering as much information on the whole question of why so many people believed in Anna Anderson and where the discrepancies were in many of her claims. I was also irritated at mislabeled pictures of the Romanov sisters as Anastasia on more than one count (I suspect the editor´s mistake here). But this is still a readable and fascinating portrait of a very abnormal life and some very unhinged people. Even more than Anna I was taken by Gleb Botkin and his delusions and reasoning. Interesting, though it does not have the latest information due to the year of the publication.
