I was going to suggest East by Edith Patou--a retelling of Beauty and the Beast. It's usually in the YA section of the library. Also Straw into Gold is a twist on Rumpelstilskin. Gary Schmidt is the author, and again, it's YA. You might enjoy both...
I just finished grad school this summer, so I feel your pain! I was noticing a lot of good children's books on your shelf and thought I'd recommend some young adult titles to you that you might enjoy--The Lightning Thief series (4 books) by Rick Riordan is kind of a Harry Potter with Greek mythology story--really hot right now. The Twilight series by Stephanie Meyer (4 books total) is also huge right now (I noticed the Buffy essay collection on the shelf). It's a vampire love story--nothing gory, just a fun read. I'm working on the Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane by Kate DiCamillo (children's book) right now, and I think it's destined to be a classic--very much like Velveteen Rabbit. Anyway, just a few ideas...
When you go to your shelf, at the top there is a choice that says: List review...go in there and you will see your books and boxes to check and spaces to fill in information, BUT...the words you put in aren't always there when you save your review.I love this site, but it is a little difficult to maneuver around in.I have gotten so many good book ideas.Good luck with your studies and in your posting.
Given that most of my library currently resides in a 10x10 foot cubicle, a couple of weeks might verge on being a wee bit uncomfortable. Thanks for the kind words, though, and remember that grad school isn't forever (except of course in my case, but that's another story).
