Hey I'm looking for a book. It's YA and it recently came out. I believe it's somehow loosely based on the Snow White fairy tale but I can't remember the title or the author. Please help!

Sorry LadyTink I can not be of any help there. Nothing is coming to mind! Sorry! I do hope you find the title of your book! And have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteI dont know if this is the book..but it mentions several fairy tale characters and Snow White is one of them.

The review titled: ''admittedly, a pleasant surprise'' is where I saw Cinderella and Snow white mentioned. Well let me know if this is the book!
I'm drawing a blank too. I hope someone will know as now I'm curious too!
ReplyDeleteHere's a summary from a reviewer on Amazon for the second book, The Mermaid's Madness. I dont think it's YA though. But I think you'd probably like it since you love fairy tales.
ReplyDeleteCinderella, Snow White, and Sleeping Beauty - the three princess heroines of The Stepsister Scheme are back in this much (for me) anticipated sequel! What happens after the fairy tale ends? That's the essential question that Hines's series attempts to answer. The first book tells us the fates of Cinderella (Danielle) after she's married her prince, of Sleeping Beauty (Talia) after she's awakened from her long sleep, and of Snow White (Snow), after she's escaped the murderous intentions of her stepmother. Hines takes the darker versions of these tales, and twists them into something highly original and new.
This author is Jim C. Hines. Sorry forgot to mention that.
ReplyDeleteOk while looking at a review of book 1...Someone mentioned another Snow White book in it. It's Snow White and it's YA! Maybe this is it!

Snow White and Rose Red by Patricia Wrede
Would it be Mirror,Mirror by Gregory Maquire? It mixes the Snow White story with the history of the Borgia family.
ReplyDeleteI'm afraid I can't help you with this, Jen! But I'm also curious to find out from others who know. :)
ReplyDeleteSorry, no clue about the book.
ReplyDeleteBut, you have an award (actually, for both of your blogs, but you already have it on your sidebar at the other one)...

Thanks everyone for trying to help me out! I have read one or two of these but none are what I was thinking of. I might check them out anyways so thanks!
ReplyDeleteHi Jen
ReplyDeleteDamn so sorry none of them were right. Once you're looking at a book like the ones I suggested on Amazon, others show up so maybe that would help you find it. Also try googling. That might help. I hope you find it!
