So I have a lot of things going on in the next two months! My TBR will be small but it will be very... geared towards what I have going on in April.
The first of these books is
The Shadow Queen by C. J. Redwine. I vaguely remember her Defiance series and only ever heard good things about them but this one truly has caught my attention. It's a Snow White retelling and being the retelling junkie that I am, I knew I'd love it. I'm only about thirty pages in and boy do I love it. It grabs you from the beginning and I can't wait to see the rest of it unfold.
Second is the
Stepsister's Tale by Tracy Barrett. Another retelling surprise surprise. This one sounds intriguing and I'm almost afraid to read it. While I've always been one to try and see the dark and light in everyone, this one has me hesitant to see the stepsisters' sides of the story. Cinderella is kind of that untouchable fairytale for me. It'll be really hard to see it the other way but maybe that's a good thing. Either way I'm quite excited.
The third is
The Fall by Bethany Griffin. I don't normally read more psychological thriller type books but I read
The Fall of the House of Usher by Edgar Allan Poe last semester in my American Literature class and the fact that this is about Madeline Usher really
really interests me. Bethany Griffin is known for her Poe retellings (oops hi my name is Marisa and I'm a retelling junkie) and I'm sure this one won't disappoint.
Fourth is
Starflight by Melissa Landers. I've been a huge fan of Melissa Landers since Alienated. I am excited to read her newest book. Just as equally alien related it has a backstory a la Peter Quill that has me immediately intrigued. I can't wait to get started on reading this!
The reason why I have to read these will be revealed in due time. It's still in the beginning stages so I don't want to say anything until it's closer to the event but April's TBR will be pretty much wholly related to it to. :) That's all I'm gonna say.
