Waiting on Wednesday (#132): Once Again by Liz Braswell & Cameron Dokey


"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.


This week, I'm featuring:


Once Again by Liz Braswell & Cameron Dokey
Publisher: Simon Pulse
Publication Date: November 17, 2015

Summary (from Goodreads):

Two beloved and timeless tales—Snow White and Sleeping Beauty—find new life in these magical and imaginative retellings filled with romance and adventure.

Snow

After the tragic death of her mother, Jessica’s father finds love again. But as Jessica grows into a beautiful young woman, it becomes clear that her stepmother is wildly—and murderously—jealous of her.

With no choice, Jessica escapes to London and finds herself surrounded by an odd band of outcasts who accept her into their makeshift family. And when her stepmother—repentant and supposedly seeking forgiveness—appears in the city, Jessica must decide whom to trust.

Beauty Sleep

Cursed at birth, Princess Aurore is fated to prick her finger at age sixteen and sleep for one hundred years. As the days go by, the adventurous princess makes a habit of exploring the lands beyond the castle, where her warmth and generosity earn her the devotion of the townspeople.

But when she finds out the impending curse will not only harm her—but the entire kingdom—Aurore embarks on a dangerous quest to end the evil magic. Will she be able to put a stop to the curse before it’s too late?



Liz Braswell! I can't wait to read this set of retellings :D

  3. Nice! I actually read these two books years ago back when they were not in bindups and all that! Snow was most definitely my favorite among the ones I read! I can't really remember Beauty Sleep. I'm sure it was good though! Snow definitely amazing! That's one I remember re-reading several times!!
