Can't-Wait Wednesday is a weekly book meme hosted by Tressa @ Wishful Endings. This meme is based on Waiting on Wednesday that was hosted by Jill @ Breaking the Spine. It's where we share an unpublished book we are anticipating.
Why I Can't Wait: I love love love fairy tale retellings. I haven't read this anthology yet, but I have Five Enchanting Roses as an e-book that is published by the same publisher as the book featured below. I was reading a note from the editor and found out about this book online. The cover is absolutely gorgeous. This anthology came about because of a fairy tale writing contest. Unfortunately, this is the last year for the contests. Anyway, Snow White is not a favorite fairy tale, but of course, I'm basing this on the Disney version. I don't typically read the original fairy tales. I probably will at some point, but I am nervous since they are typically darker. What fairy tale do you like to find retellings the most? Mine is probably Beauty and the Beast and the Little Mermaid.
