Welcome to Litsy!

Light pick. This retelling of Cinderella combines folk/fairy tales from different cultures, and I enjoyed reading the intro from this 10th anniversary edition to hear the reasons for Lo‘s decisions on the structure of the novel. I didn‘t quite click with the writing style, but the last few chapters flew by for me, so worthy of a pick rating. #SundayBuddyRead #LitsyAToZ #LetterA #52BookClub25 #AFairyTaleRetelling

This Cinderella retell with an LGBTQ twist is the perfect June read #sundaybuddyread

Once I starting reading to catch up, I could not put this down. I had to finish! This is a new genre for me & I loved it. A whole different take on Cinderella. Ash has agency; Grief spurns her on; Ash grows into her own. True to the traditional Cinderella fairy tale, Ash is mistreated by her cruel stepmother. But she experiences kindnesses along the way: Beatrice, Gwen, & Kaisa-this helps her break away.

I'm going to #QueerBC May-May so I'll refresh the author list then and I'll do some feedback stuff March/April to see how to improve it

Thank you to everyone who has participated. I hope you are enjoying yourself and discovered some new authors

I got a good few chapters in but just couldn‘t get into the story. Might pick this up another time down the track.

Going to dive into this book this afternoon

This is a Cinderella retelling and it's so good!

Then they took the last step together, and when she kissed her, her mouth as warm as summer, the taste of her sweet and clear, she knew, at last, that she was home.

In the wake of her father's death, Ash is left at the mercy of her cruel stepmother. Consumed with grief, her only joy comes by the light of the dying hearth fire, re-reading the fairy tales her mother once told her. In her dreams, someday the fairies will steal her away, as they are said to do.

Aisling‘s mother died at midsummer. She had fallen sick so suddenly that some of the villagers wondered if fairies had come and taken her, for she was still young and beautiful.

Favorite Cinderella retelling?

Ash by Malinda Lo

A Cinderella retelling that‘s sharp and beautiful; an exploration of grief & how it drives us; a search for happiness in a complicated world. Aisling is everything you want in a heroine — smart, brave and willing to sacrifice for what she wants, but more for what she needs. The romance between her and Kaisa is lovely and sweet. There‘s a richness of folklore running through the narrative that gives the story so much depth. All of the stars!

What's your favorite lgbt book/retelling? Need some recommendations preferably girl × girl love. I'm bi.
