Our topic this week is…
Do you prefer original fairy tales
OR
Retellings of fairy tales
This is another really good one! It’s hard because some of my favourite fairy tales and their origin stories come from dark tales. So even just saying that one sentence I prefer the retellings. It’s mainly because I read fairy tales to escape the darkness, not to get involved with more. Some of the originals, as beautifully written as they are, they can be pretty dark and horrifying…I “recommend” looking up the original story of the Little Mermaid.

Ah I understand where you’re coming from, but I prefer the originals just for the nostalgia (and also I’ll admit, I love the darkness)
