2016 Fairytale Retellings Reading Challenge

From The Daily Prophecy:

This year I will be hosting the Fairytale challenge for the second time. Let’s go through the details:

  • The challenge runs from January 1st to December 31st 2016.
  • You can sign up on your blog, Goodreads, Youtube, Instagram, Twitter: whatever suits you. Make sure you link to a specific post/tweet/photo/etc, instead of a regular link to your account. (Or have some proof by posting the banner in your sidebar!)
  • The goal is to read fairytale retellings, but if you want you can also pick other retellings. Think about mythology, myths, legends and folk tales. It's all up to you!
  • You can read Middle Grade, Young Adult and Adult books for this challenge.
  • Obviously, the book doesn't have to be published in 2016 and re-reads count.
  • Physical, e-books, Audio books and novella's all count.
  • Cross-linking your books from/with other challenges count.
  • There are 6 different levels you can aim for:-Enchanted Moura: 1 – 4 books. -Goose Girl: 5 - 9 books. -Evil Queen: 10 – 15 books. -Wise princess: 16 – 20 books. -Kuma Lisa: 21 – 25 books. -Cheshire cat: 26+ books
  • Every beginning of the month I will make a link-up post where you put all your reviews and update posts. These link-up posts will have informative/fun introductions, just like last year. I will also focus more on other retellings and there will be a giveaway in December. You can win extra entries throughout the entire challenge.
  • Format for the link-up: UPDATE  @ your name/blog name. REVIEW – book title @ your name/blog name.
  • Use the hash tag #fairytaleRC on Twitter and Instagram.

I'm hoping to read some great retellings this coming year. I shooting for the Evil Queen Level of 10-15 books: Wish me luck!
