We love that you enjoy our #bookrecommendations and #bookmail!! It’s 200 years after Cinderella found her prince, but the fairy tale is over. Teen girls are now required to appear at the Annual Ball, where the men of the kingdom select wives based on a girl’s display of finery. If a suitable match is not found, the girls not chosen are never heard from again. Sixteen-year-old Sophia would much rather marry Erin, her childhood best friend, than parade in front of suitors. At the ball, Sophia makes the desperate decision to flee, and finds herself hiding in Cinderella’s mausoleum. There, she meets Constance, the last known descendant of Cinderella and her step sisters. Together they vow to bring down the king once and for all–and in the process, they learn that there’s more to Cinderella’s story than they ever knew "In Cinderella is Dead, debut author Kalynn Bayron, reimagines the world of this classic with a striking sapphic story about a determined young woman willing to risk it all to expose the secrets and lies at the very heart of Cinderella’s mythic ‘happily ever-after’ in order to free a kingdom." -- Ro Moore, FIYAH @fiyahlitmag If you haven't read this book, we are in stock!! Link in bio: @SistahScifi Reposted from @allthecoolusernamesaretaken Book 20 of 2022. Cinderella Is Dead follows Sophia, a queer woman of color, as she navigates an oppressive society 200 years after Cinderella and uncovers the true story behind the fairy tale. I really enjoyed this creative reimagining of the Cinderella story! . I also loved discovering and buying it through @sistahscifi, an Oakland based independent bookstore featuring sci-fi and fantasy works by Black and indigenous authors. I’ve ordered several other books since and love their personalized service! I’ve got a number of their posts bookmarked for future purchases as well. I highly recommend giving them a follow. . #litmom #2022reads #cinderellaisdead #kalynnbayron #sistahscifi #yafantasy #Cinderella #bookmailisthebestmail📪 // @kalynnbayron @macmillanusa https://www.instagram.com/p/ChSNXvdL7u-/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
