I love retellings of this story by Dickens. :D
ReplyDeleteThis seems like a fun spin on A Christmas Carol. I really enjoy twisted retellings like this. Thanks for sharing and I hope you love it!

I plan on reading this in December. I love non-traditional Christmas reads. Nice choice.
ReplyDeleteOMG I can't believe how freaking awesome this book sounds?!?!
ReplyDeleteA Christmas Carol is my fave, and seeing the consequences of someone who DIDN'T actually change is so creative and intriguing!! And it's also written by Cynthia Hand! I haven't read My Lady Jane, the book she co-wrote with two other great authors, but I've heard fantastic things about it too.
I didn't even know this was coming out! I can't wait for October 24th.
