I love the idea between contemporary and dystopian--I'd love to see the world right after everything started changing instead of when everything is falling apart. I think Rachel would absolutely flip out if someone did a retelling of Anne. (She probably wouldn't want to read it--she loves Anne and Gill too much.) And also a big yes with Bible retellings! First Date was a pretty cute Esther-inspired story. (I stalked your goodreads to see what you've read.)<br /><br />As for dark fairies, I was going to suggest Splintered, but I see that you've already read it. While not necessarily fairies, I think it has that feel you're looking for. I'd also suggest Julie Kagawa's The Iron Fey series. It's probably not as dark as you're hoping for (it's actually quite humorous at some parts in between the running from creepy out-to-kill monsters of the fairy world), but the story is good and the characters are amazing. <br /><br />-JBAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4746441555766369349.post-54479365311633625262014-01-21T19:56:41.134-05:002014-01-21T19:56:41.134-05:00Thanks to everyone who stopped by!

I read an adult book once that was a Jew in those times and had some Biblical aspects, like adding in John the Baptist and it was when the Romans were persecuting the Jews. It was a great insight. And I LOVE the idea of more what-ifs. Right up my alley as well as most of your ideas really :) ANNE OF GREEN GABLES RETELLING *fangirls*Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00343758249538361290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4746441555766369349.post-14919791774862576502014-01-21T07:20:47.818-05:002014-01-21T07:20:47.818-05:00About a month ago I literally thought I want to cr...About a month ago I literally thought I want to create what if books like the British winning the revolutionary war (seriously, first one that came to my head!).
