Top Ten Tuesday: Ten Fairytale Retellings I've Read

I absolutely love fairtale retellings and fractured fairytales.  They’re some of my favorite stories.  Below is a list of books I’ve read and there’s a bunch more on my TBR pile.  I’m going to try and write up 140-character or less (a la Twitter) descriptions of each book.  Find something that strikes your fancy!
