I have not read many books yet that feature fairies, I think the only series would be the Merry Gentry series which I have enjoyed a lot.

I would love love to win! I have never read anything to do with fairies. I think Tinkerbell is the closet I've came! I'd love to change that with this book! Enter me please!

I've decided that I just love fairies in general, although I think my current favorite is the Wicked Lovely series (maybe that's because I'm in the midst of reading it?) and you and I both know I could truly use this book.... :-D Whee!! (amccleve (at) gmail (dot) com
ReplyDeleteI have read Wicked Lovely and Ink Exchange but not Fragile Eternity yet:)
ReplyDeleteI like Karen Marie Moning's Fever series..they have creepy fey.
Hmm, I would probably have to say The Two Princesses of Bamarre, by Gail Carson Levine. Actually, I love pretty much all of her fairy tale retellings. :)
ReplyDeleteI've heard great things about Melissa Marr's series, but I actually haven't read any of them yet :( Hopefully that can change soon though lol
Thanks for the awesome contest!

I've not read very many fairy stories, and the 2 I've tried recently didn't really work for me. This is probably silly, but the best fairy tale I can come up with was some fictional fairy tales in AS Byatt's possession, which talked about the Lamia. I'm really looking forward to reading Melissa Marr's work.
ReplyDeleteMy address is amandagignac[at]gmail[dot]com
Maybe this sounds dark - but I really love the fairy tale Blackbeard and all the renditions of it. I ended up taking a Mythology and Fairy Tale class in college and wrote a paper on the parallels between the Buffy episode Ted - and the fairy tale of Blackbeard. It was a fun paper. I also love the graphic novel series called Fables - which has a Blackbeard character in it. :)

So far Tithe come to mind but FAIRY TALE by Cyn Balog and WONDROUS STRANGE by Lesley Livingston comes in close! A re-telling on Cinderella that I just read that was quite good happens to be called ASH by Malinda Lo. Definitely check it out!

I exactly love Melissa marr books
ReplyDeleteand holly blacks but i think it was Christopher Pike's book Alosha that exactly got me into fairies.

Not quite sure what my favorite fairy series would be. I guess I'll just have to go with Melissa Marr's books. The first two in this series, Wicked Lovely and Ink Exchange, were really great. I'm soooo looking forward to this one.
ReplyDeleteSo please enter me!
Thanks for the contest :)

I love Fairies of Dreamdark: Blackbringer by Laini Taylor! Amazing!!
ReplyDeleteFun contest!:)
I'll have to go with Beauty, by Robin McKinley!
ReplyDeleteMy favourite fairies would be the fairies who BITE in Labyrinth! Oh, book you say? It would have to be Sleeping Beauty. What a classic.
ReplyDeleteWar of the Flowers by Tad Williams is my favourite book about fairies. Fragile Eternity looks like a good read, please enter me into this drawing.
ReplyDeleteThanks for hosting this giveaway.

I recently read Ink Exchange and I'm desperate to see how it all is going to end! I need the next book :) I remember this book, Faerie Tale by Raymond E Feast, which had evil fairies and scariness and a big spider...it was awesome! I do love me a bit of Labyrinth, though. "You remind me of the babe..."
ReplyDeleteI like the Tam Lin re-tellings. Any of them. Never get tired of it. Like the recent Heir to Sevenwaters by Juliet Marillier. Almost seemed Tam-lin-ish to me.
ReplyDeleteI'd like to participate in the prize-winning! Um, I guess my email is: this_is_shar@live.com
I like Gail Carson Levine's fairy tale retellings too. My favorite fairy tale has always been beauty and the beast though.

I really like the Fablehaven series

I just started reading about fairies but the one that I read that made me want to read more was Wondrous Strange. I am in the middle on Ink Exchange and its soo good.

I really like the fae in Jim Butcher's Dresden Files.

I've read Tithe, which I didn't love, but other than that, this will be my first "fairy fiction."

I honestly love everything to do with fairies. When I was younger, I was obsessed with Tinkerbell and all Disney and other fairy tales. The Wicked Lovely series is one of my favourite fairy series. :)

Hi, I'd like to be entered :)
ReplyDeletewell, my favorite faerie series is the Modern Faery Tale series (Tithe, Valiant and Ironside) by Holly Black.

It involves fairies, so I suppose it counts...
ReplyDeleteMy favorite fairy tale is actually part of the original Peter Pan book (not the Disneyfication). I had an illustrated version of the story as a child, and it always seemed so poignant to me when Peter is lost in Covent Garden with the fairies, and later finds out that he can never go home to his mother. The illustrations were realistic, and really added to the sense of darkness in the story. I don't think I could have articulated that at the time, but I think that's why I likes it.
I'd love to enter. I just finished Wickely Lovely and Ink Exchange arrived today. My favorite book dealign with fairies as of late is Lament. I can't wait for the next book.
ReplyDeletewreckedone@gmail.com
I would love to enter this contest. I love the wicked lovely series, but my favorite fairy series would have to be the new series, wonderous strange.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite is Little Red Riding Hood, that's probably why the Paranormal is my favorite genre to read! Love reading about werewolves and vampires.
ReplyDeleteI adore all of Robin McKinley's fairy tale re-tellings, but a more recent favorite is Delia Sherman's Changeling. New York itself is an alternate fairy world, and the different creatures and epic adventure make the book a wonderful reading experience.

I enjoyed Melissa Marr's Ink Exchange very much.
ReplyDeletelesly7ch(at)yahoo(dot)com
My favorite story involving faeries is Wicked Lovely by Melissa Marr because A) It is really good and B) It is the only one I've read so far. lol. So it makes since that I really want this book. lol. Great contest. :)

I really enjoyed Melissa Marr's Ink Exchange.
ReplyDeleteI think my favorite Fairy book is Wicked Lovely!
ReplyDeleteBut Tithe by Holly Black is close in my books.
I haven't read Fragile Eternity yet but i can't wait too
You know, in all honesty, I can't think of any books that I've read (of the contemporary vein) that have had fairies in them...that's bizarre, because I know I've read some. Does Leven Thumps have fairies?
ReplyDeleteI do have a special love for A Midsummer Night's Dream by William Shakespeare, which has a heck of a lot of fairies. Hopefully that counts.
Anywho, email in profile and thanks for the giveaway!

Wow, great giveaway Angie! How to choose my favorite Faerie book? Well, I particularly loved Lament and Beauty by Robin McKinley is always awesome as a retelling. I'm also competely devoted to Enchantment by Orson Scott Card - modern Russian sleeping beauty - swoon!
ReplyDeleteOh, I would so love to be entered for this one... for I have just bought the first and second book!!!!
ReplyDeleteI am new here as well... hope you don't mind!
My fave fae story.... would have to the Sookie Stackhouse collection. I haven't read much with fae's in them.... So, if would not be for this collection... then I would have to say Sleeping Beauty...
alliwantandmore(at)gmail(dot)com
My favorite tale would be that of The Little Mermaid. I think that's why too I love finding more and more stories with selkies, Fae, gargoyles and more! I'd so love to be in the contest for this book! Thank you!
ReplyDeletecathiecaffey(at)gmail(dot)com
I'm following the blog too!
I've not read any fairy stories that I know of except Tinkerbell from Peter Pan. I've never actually read the story just watched the movie. Would love to read a story containing them. Please count me in for the contest. I'm now following the blog. Have a great day.
ReplyDeleteMy favorites would be a toss-up between Marr's series, and Wondrous Strange (which I hear is the beginning of a series) The Merry Gentry series is another that I enjoy but not as much.
ReplyDeleteshiloki[at]gmail[dot]com
I read Wicked lovely and I really liked it. I also loved Bones of Faeries by Janni Simner.

I haven't read many books with faeries in it, but they are on my list =) I did really enjoy Godmother by Carolyn Turgeon which is a different kind of story about Cinderella's fairy godmother.

I love I Was a Teenage Fairy by: Francesca Lia Block. Not as fantasy-esque as other "fairy tales" but an excellent read nonetheless.
