The retellings Reading Challenge is a pretty straightforward thing. You pick your own number of books that retell a story. That could be a complete reimagining of the original (The Diaries of the Family Dracul), or it could be a prequel (Heartless, Wicked) or Sequel (Dorothy Must Die) to a story. It could also be a fictional retelling of a real person's life. Or a retelling where the main character is a different gender from the original (A Study in Scarlet Women).


Because I am doing so many challenges this year, I'm going for a modest number in the 5-8 Medium range.
