Today Parajunkee’s View is offering up a copy of ‘Cinder’ by Marissa Meyer. ‘Cinder’ is the first hardcover young adult book that I’ve bought in probably over a year. I usually wait for the paperback release or buy the eBook. Spending the extra money was definitely worth it, this is something I’m excited to have on my shelf for a long time. Now you have the opportunity to win your own! Still not convinced? Read my review.
Cinder is a scifi retelling of the Cinderella story. What fairy-tale or myth would you like to see retold in the science fiction genre?
Humans and androids crowd the raucous streets of New Beijing. A deadly plague ravages the population. From space, a ruthless lunar people watch, waiting to make their move. No one knows that Earth’s fate hinges on one girl. . . .
Cinder, a gifted mechanic, is a cyborg. She’s a second-class citizen with a mysterious past, reviled by her stepmother and blamed for her stepsister’s illness. But when her life becomes intertwined with the handsome Prince Kai’s, she suddenly finds herself at the center of an intergalactic struggle, and a forbidden attraction. Caught between duty and freedom, loyalty and betrayal, she must uncover secrets about her past in order to protect her world’s future.

BEAUTY AND THE BEAST<3 It's my favorite! Thanks for the great giveaway! I wan't to read Cinder:) I hope i win one:D
I’d love to read a sci-fi version of The White Bear King, Valemon.
I would love to see BLUEBEARD retold in a sci-fi b/c that would be interesting and creepy.
I don’t think I’ve seen many re-tellings of Snow White and Rose Red so I’d love to read a sci-fi retelling of it! I think it’d be pretty interesting!
Rapunzel & Little Mermaid. Thanks for the giveaway!
Wow! this book is like everywhere. That most likely means its a good book and I bet it is.
I’d chose the tear myth where this angel or something took a girls tear and gave them back when it was necessary.
I think Snow White would be interesting.
Thanks ALOT for this lovely giveaway!! i would LOVE if they had a re-telling of Anastasia ! i just love that show!

Another one I absolutely want to read! Been hearing great things about this novel and so can’t wait to read it. Thanks for hosting this awesome giveaway!
I would love Beauty and the Beast to be retold! Thanks for the giveaway!
I would love to see a re-telling of Sleeping Beauty or of course Beauty and The Beast
I think Jack and the Beanstalk or snow white would be cool. Thanks.
With all the fairy tale stuff coming out I’ve really been looking forward to this book! Thanks for the giveaway!
I think Sleeping Beauty would do well as a sci-fi. Aurora could go from a medieval world to a tech future.
