i am not a bookworm!: Retellings Reading Challenge 2017

I love retellings. I have read a few last year and was very hooked. I am glad I found this challenge so I would be able to read more of these interesting retellings.

To sign up, just click on the picture and you will be taken to the original post by Joanne of Once Upon a Bookcase.

Here are the mechanics of the challenge.

The Challenge:

For readers to read retellings of stories we know well from their chosen level in 2016:

Easy: 1-4 retellings
Medium: 5-8 retellings
Hard: 9-12 retellings
Difficult: 12+ retellings

The Rules:

You must sign up to the challenge below.
You must share your thoughts/reviews on the retellings you read for the book to count. You can post anywhere: your blog, YouTube, Instagram, Goodreads, Amazon, Tumblr, etc.
As you review the books, update the monthly link up post with a link to your review. This is important, as each book you review will be an entry into that month's giveaway.
You can sign up any time between now and 31st December 2017.
Use the hashtag #RetellingsRC2017 so we can follow your participation in the challenge!

Which Books Count:

You can read retellings of any of the following (if I've left anything out, please let me know!):

Classics & Children's Classics
Fairy Tales
Myths and Legends
Folk Tales
Retellings of real, well known people's lives - I.E. Becoming Jane by Kevin Hood about a young Jane Austen, and And I Darken by Kirsten White, a gender bent retelling of Vald Dracul's teen years, both count
I will also accept origin stories/prequels/sequels - I.E. Dorothy Must Die series by Danielle Paige is a sequel series to The Wizard of Oz, Heartless by Marissa Meyer is a prequel to Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, the origin story of the Queen of Hearts, and both would count.
Reimaginings that aren't strict retellings would also count - I.E. Kody Keplinger's novels Shut Out and A Midsummer's Nightmare are both reimaginings, the first of the Greek play Lysistrata by Aristophanes, and the second of Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream, both of which would count.

You can read any retellings you want, they do not need to be recent releases to count.
Feel free to re-read any retellings! They will also count, as long as you review them somewhere.
All age categories are accepted; middle grade/young fiction, YA, NA, adult.
All books count; physical books, audiobooks, eBooks.

ARCs/Proofs count, as do self-published books.
