Spin
Spin: A Fairytale Retelling | Genevieve Raas
49 posts | 2 read | 3 to read
The international bestselling book that brings a dark and steamy look at the tale of Rumpelstiltskin. A necklace, a ring, a child...There is always a price one is willing to pay. Laila sees her impending death in the mountains of straw waiting to be spun into gold. Faced with the impossible, she makes the impossible decision to survive, no matter what the cost. A shadowy stranger sees an opportunity for vengeance. Born to a nightmarish destiny that crushed and embittered his faith in humanity, he devotes himself to dealing in dark desires and desperate souls, and Laila's is ripe for the trade. When the stranger asks his price, Laila is bound by blood and magic to pay. His own heart was never supposed to be part of the deal, but when honor drives Laila to break their bargain, he ends up tangled in his own web of deceit and destruction in a desperate attempt to save her life. In the black of night, there are no fairytales, only choices. One choice makes a queen. One choice consumes a soul. It's a roll of the dice in a game where love is everyone's undoing. Spin, Genevieve Raas' debut fantasy novel, is a twisted, sexy retelling of one of Grimm's classic tales and the first book in the Spindlewind series. Praise for Spin: "Spin is a dark tale that unravels in a sexy, brooding whirlwind and takes you into a world of vengeance, betrayal, and longing."

So exciting to see what the #bookspin picks will be! Now I know what I‘ve been missing out on all this time 😆
These are my picks in February. Now if I could only finish the slog of a book I‘m listening to now to get to these 😑 (Our Country Friends—not a fan so far)

My #bookspin for January. New year. Wow. I need to concentrate on knocking out the "I really need to read this" TBR and get some unlisted chunksters read.

I love the Spin the Wheel app, especially when I have lots I want to read but nothing that screams “me first!” I started the day with Every Heart a Doorway (review to come) and am moving on to A Head Full of Ghosts. 👻

After much contemplation, I have come up with my September #bookspin. I don‘t know why I was having such a hard time making decisions this month.

Soubhiville That‘s funny, I had a hard time choosing this month too 🤷‍♀️ 3y

I wasn‘t going to do #bookspinbingo this month because I am in the middle of a dozen or so different books but then realized this might be exactly what I need to get some of them finished! And my best chance at a bingo! I hope no one minds the cheating 😉

squirrelbrain It‘s definitely not cheating! I‘m in the middle of 6 books that are all on my April bingo board! 4y
TheAromaofBooks I'm here for it!! I like to think of it as “being prepared“ 😂 4y

I‘m pretty pleased with my progress so far on #bookspinbingo - and I‘m well into my next book, also on the bottom line. Not sure where I‘ll go next though...as most of these choices fulfill other challenges‘ prompts it will be interesting to see how it fills in the card.

@TheAromaofBooks you are awesome, as always - what a fun challenge!

TheAromaofBooks I love the way you are coloring these in!! 4y

@TheAromaofBooks has gone wild for the May #bookspin! I won‘t be able to put my stack together until I see how much progress I can make this month, but I‘m really thinking hard about this challenge. I‘m thinking continuing series and picks to finish my bingo card, and fill it out with some MG or YA to keep it a little more manageable. We‘ll see!

TheAromaofBooks Thanks for the repost!! I'm also waiting until closer to the end of the month to complete my list. If I really want to do all 20, I'm going to have to include at least some books that I was going to read in May anyway haha 5y
ravenlee @TheAromaofBooks exactly! This is going to take some careful planning. 5y
