Thank you!<br /><br />And, as for the question, I haven't really read any retellings that I know of. I mean I guess I read The Goose Girl which is a retelling of a fairytale, but not a classic. Hmmm. That's why I'm excited to be part of this challenge, lol.Jenni Elysehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08403700912436098391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5537602474198205550.post-28441288726002512472012-02-01T14:32:49.736-07:002012-02-01T14:32:49.736-07:00I just bought New Girl but I'm trying to decid...I just bought New Girl but I'm trying to decide if that's the book I want to use for the challenge. I'd feel the need to reread Rebecca and I don't really want to. <br /><br />My favorite retelling is actually a movie. I liked Clueless and I think the only real reason was because it's the first time I realized people did retellings or adaptions and I was fascinated...plus it's just pretty funny. ;)Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05738740015526095835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5537602474198205550.post-49095222017684003702012-02-01T12:04:07.453-07:002012-02-01T12:04:07.453-07:00My favorite is probably Wide Sargasso Sea (Jane Ey...My favorite is probably Wide Sargasso Sea (Jane Eyre) because it has completely changed the way I read and understand that book forever and ever.<br /><br />I'm also a huge fan of the Bard Academy novels because they're a lot of fun.Akilahhttp://theenglishist.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5537602474198205550.post-86392357417550907002012-02-01T11:57:01.721-07:002012-02-01T11:57:01.721-07:00I hope to get to a re-telling of Persuasion this m...I hope to get to a re-telling of Persuasion this month.
