Across the Star Swept Sea: a Retelling of the Scarlet Pimpernel
Do you love young adult books that are retellings of the classics?
My friend Stephanie at Bookworm 1858 and I decided to read The Scarlet Pimpernel together over the summer. It was a fun book and now that a YA retelling, Across the Star Swept Sea, is about to come out, we have more fun in store for you.
First, we’ll be discussing The Scarlet Pimpernel and then AASSS. Look for Stephanie’s post on Monday — I’ll link to it when it’s up — and mine on Wednesday.
In the meantime, you can enter to win Across a Star Swept Sea and its companion book, For Darkness Shows the Stars (a loose retelling of Persuasion by Jane Austen.)
AND
Aren’t these the most gorgeous covers and the most evocative titles?
OK-I'm just about to leave for work but tonight I *will* send you an email about AASSS so we can discuss for The Scarlet Pimpernel next week. It's in writing-I must follow through!
Looking forward to it. I'm about to start the book!
ah this is exciting as not all comps have international included xxx
Thank you so much for the giveaway. I have been wanting to read For Darkness Shows the Stars for obvious reasons. 🙂
Oh- fantastic giveaway! I haven't read these yet, but have heard amazing things about the series. Thanks Jen. 🙂
I really liked the first book and am excited for the second!
Love the covers! Thank you
They are amazing covers!
Ooh, I've been dying for these books! Thanks for the giveaway! 🙂
Great covers. Haven't read this series yet.

I've been meaning to read Across a Star-Swept Sea. I had a few difficult with For Darkness Shows the Stars simply because of it being a Persuasion retelling (and reading it directly after I re-read Persuasion), but I am wholeheartedly a fan of Peterfreund's after reading her Killer Unicorns duology and would love to finish this duology as well. Thanks for the giveaway of these two!
I have these bookmarks and they are the most gorgeous bookmarks ever!
