Let me know what you think and leave a link to your WoW pick!

Wow, I didn't realize how many more retellings were coming out. I'd like to read Grim.
ReplyDeleteOoohh fairytales fun! Such a long wait! But I expect beautiful covers! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteMy WOW
Sounds like you have a treasure trove here...and when the covers are revealed, they will be another treasure, I'm sure!
ReplyDeleteHere's MY WOW POST
So this is kind of torturous! I want them all now and there aren't even covers to ogle yet because we have to wait a year :( But they all look so good!
ReplyDeleteHaven't heard of these, but hope you get to read them soon!

I don't need the cover, A Rose During the Winter is such a wonderful title, it pretty much ensured that I'll read it as soon as it comes out. I'm weak like that.
ReplyDeleteToo bad we'll have to wait awhile.
Mel these all sound great! I just had to add them all to my goodreads shelf hah. Too bad we have to wait over a year! Thanks for sharing!!

I'm really looking forward to finding out more about The Glass Casket! I haven't read anything by that author before, but I hope I can make this the first book. Rose During the Winter sounds brilliant too! I can't wait to see the covers for these. :)
ReplyDeleteOh I've only heard of one of them (Grim) and it looks like you found me 2 more!
ReplyDeleteOoo, 2014!!! NICE!!!! I haven't heard of any of these - but I will keep my eye out for more details of them! Great choices :)
ReplyDeleteMy Wow Post!
2014!!! That's a long loong wait. I like The Glass Casket.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by My WoW
ALL THE FAIRY TALES! Well, some. I don't know which of these looks the best... *adds all three to TBR*
ReplyDeleteHALLO MEL!
ReplyDeleteIt's been a while :D
I didn't understand what you meant by "coverless" for a moment, and then I realised why: they don't come out for another year! "Why must you hurt me this way [Harry]" :D I enjoyed Christine Johnson's "Claire de Lune", and her new book with all those fantastically dark and brilliant writers is really making me sad. WHY 2014?!
Thanks for sharing, even though I won't be able to read them for a whole year
Thanks a lot.
Just kidding :)

Glass Casket sounds amazing--I'm so looking forward to that one! I like the "coverless" WOW edition, hah.
ReplyDeleteWendy @ The Midnight Garden
Quite a while to 2014, but I love fairytales so might be worth the wait. Grim. has awesome authors by the way!
ReplyDeletethanks for coming by my blog, mel! (btw, my friends call me mel too ;))
I haven't done a WoW for so long- this one is great! Coverless books get hardly any attention, and I do love me a great cover, but I wish books were publicised and known about more widely before they had covers. I'll have to make a start on doing this, myself.
ReplyDeleteAnd fairytale retellings- this is such an awesome post! These all sound really interesting, particularly the first two!
A Rose During Winter sounds AWESOME! Also, The Glass Casket. Thanks for sharing Mel! Glad to know fairy tales aren't going away any time soon. :)
ReplyDeleteThe Glass Casket totally caught my interest. I love retellings with added new and exciting twists. And yes, Grim too! Since Kagawa is in there. Lol. Fantastic picks, Mel. Just added them on my tbr. :)
ReplyDeleteInteresting! Grim sounds pretty cool even though I don't read many anthologies. I'll definitely keep my eyes open for any more info on these. Such a long wait though! Nice picks!
ReplyDeleteAwesome WoW choices this week. Added all of them to my Goodreads. I am a big fan of fairytale stuff and retellings. Can't wait for them. Thanks for sharing and visiting my WoW. =]
ReplyDeleteI like the premise for your first pick, The Glass Casket. Promises a good story. Can't wait to see the cover!
ReplyDeleteGood idea for a "coverless" WoW, too!

Ooh, wow! All these sound like AMAZING books - especially THE GLASS CASKET. I was never a fan of Snow White, but I'm intrigued to see how the author will do with this 'twisted retelling'. :) I haven't heard of any of these, so thanks for sharing, Mel! <3
ReplyDeleteHave not heard of these books before.. but they do all sound amazing :D Can't wait to see their covers ;) I hope you'll love them all when they comes out next year. <3 :)
ReplyDeleteThank you for commenting on my WoW. <3
Love, Carina @ Carina's Books
Hello there, fairy tale retellings! I want them. I want them right now.

ReplyDeleteAlice @ Alice in Readerland
Ooh, fairytale retellings! And is the Julie Kagawa's name, I see? I'm definitely interested! Awesome picks, Mel! I've never heard of any of these before, but they're definitely being added to my list, now.
