Fairest and Ella Enchanted by Gail Carson Levine. J/YA but are appealing enough for grownups.

Donna Jo Napoli has some good ones too.

I was just reading an article w/some new ones that sounded good, but I'm blanking.

About Me

My photo
Since I was a little girl I have been fascinated with books. Early photos show me with a book in hand, even if it was not exactly my reading level... My first word was a made-up word meaning 'book', actually. I suppose I had my priorities at an early age... Over the years my interest in books has become one of the defining features of who I am as a person. You can probably call me a bookworm. While I have other interests, reading will always be the one I talk about the most, even if I am not focusing on it as much as I used to.
