Great video, Hope! Your outfit is very cute! I haven't read any Beauty and the Beast retellings that I can think of. I've seen the movie Beastly that I think was based on a book that was a retelling, but I won't swear to it. I am a fan of the song Beauty and the Beast by the band Nightwish. It's Eurometal, but if that doesn't bother you, it's worth checking out. Speaking of fairy tale retellings, have you ever read Anne Rice's Sleeping Beauty trilogy? I picked up the first book, The Claiming of Sleeping Beauty, at my local Friends of the Library store. It's....Definitely racy. I turned to a random page and there were definitely some....Things going on. I mean, it's Anne Rice. 50 Shades of Grey has nothing on her! Worth checking out if you want something a little on the darker side. I hope you're still enjoying your new area and job! Have a wonderful rest of the weekend!

I love beauty and the beast retellings so much, I lost count of how many books I read with this trope. Thank you for the amazing recommendations, Hope! It's always good to have awesome options.

I’m constantly on the lookout for more! After I filmed this I came across so many 😂

Hey thank you so much for the video I love beauty and the beast story and would love to read its retellings. You can try : 1. Beauty and the Beast and the Enchantress. By - Finley Aaron. Its the story from the witches point of view. Here she is telling how she is not the villain of the story but a victim. Why she did what she has to do. Hope you like it.

She is my favorite author but it does take longer to read some of her books. She drops nuggets of wisdom in her books which I love. I’m older so may like her type of writing. Don’t give up on her books though. Maybe pick a different book or in several years you will enjoy her books more.
