Another month already gone? Seems like this year is flying past and I'm not doing so well on my challenges. Not even my own! I did make some progress, reading my first book that counts,
New Girl by Paige Harbison, a retelling of
Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier. I am planning to write a joint review/comparison when I get
Rebecca reread, so no real evidence that I'm making progress. I picked a winner for the month of February, this time it was:
This month, I've decided to (try to) jazz things up. You can earn extra entries into the monthly contest if you link up with any participating posts OR if you comment on the topic I mention below. You are, of course, automatically entered in the contest just by signing up for the challenge (
Classic Double Challenge sign-up page). But you DO have to be signed up to win. You can still comment if you have an awesome idea, though, whether or not you are joining the challenge. So, what is this fabulous topic, you ask?
Today, we are doing a little dreaming. I want you to come up with
your dream retelling/sequel/related book. Pick your
dream author to write it, the
original tale it's based on (or related to in some way), the
setting, the
genre, and any
other details you want to tell us about it in the comments. You can do as many dream books as you want (or dream series, if you're ambitious).
Want an example? Here's mine: I want a retelling of
The Count of Monte Cristo, written by Scott Westerfeld (hey, I dream big), set in a futuristic/sci-fi world - can't you just picture Edmond being exiled to some distant planet, striking it rich and remaking himself as a powerful interplanetary leader?
Ok, so it was a lot harder than I thought. I'm excited to see what you guys do with it. Your turn!
If you buy through my Amazon linkage, I will get a very small percentage
