This year was Alice in Wonderland themed โค๐Ÿงก๐Ÿ’›๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ’œ

Alice was beginning to get very tired of sitting by her sister on the bank, and having nothing to do: once or twice she had peeped into the book her sister was reading, but it had no pictures or conversations in it, 'and what is the use of a book,' thought Alice, โ€˜without pictures or conversation?'

Detail of my latest finished quilt. When I saw this fabric collection based on Alice, just had to get it and make something out of it! โ€œHappy unhalloween โ€œ!

Still reading, just not posting as much on all forms of social media even though Litsy is still my favorite๐Ÿ’– ๐Ÿ“š

I somehow managed to go my whole life not having read this book (I do remember trying to read it as a kid and I maybe read a Disneyfied version). But my friends and I did CluedUpp's Alice in Wonderland themed scavenger hunt this past weekend, and I thought I should read the book... which I did not enjoy despite the dulcet tones of narrator Scarlet Johannsen. #TeamSlaughter #Scarathlon @Clwojick

Under other circumstances, I‘d probably choose another book setting, but if it‘s my birthday I couldn‘t pass up a chance to join Alice, the Mad Hatter, the White Rabbit, and the Cheshire cat. They seem to know how to throw a crazy party!

My last book of September for my virtual foodie book club. I couldn‘t tell you how many decades it has been since I read this book. It was fun to revisit & a quick read. I decided to go with a (Very Mock Turtle) Creamy Wild Rice Soup with Green Olives (the olives ๐Ÿซ’are halved & I am using them to symbolize turtle shells floating in the bowl.๐Ÿคท๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ It was very tasting with the briny olives & juice brightening up the rich creamy soup.

So pretty!
I love them so much

Saw Cheshire cat vase today. ๐Ÿ˜‚

Love this 150th Anniversary Edition with artwork by Salvador Dali. I first read Alice in Wonderland when I was in my teens. I purchased this edition a couple years ago and read it to my then-9-year-old. Re-reading it once more with my now-9-year-old.

It‘s going to take one more session to finish it up, but my Alice in Wonderland piece is coming along nicely.

On Episode 208 of my book podcast, we are officially down the rabbit hole for what I know is a long overdue journey through ALICE‘S ADVENTURES IN WONDERLAND. Author Roselle Lim pulls up a seat at our podcast tea party and shares her personal love for this whimsical story and aesthetic. ๐Ÿฐโ™ฅ๏ธโ™ฆ๏ธ Listen at the link in my bio!

Another birthday month book from The Folio Society.

I collect Alice in Wonderland books. My niece & mom‘s middle name is Alice โค๏ธ

LOVE the art, paper weight & matching slipcase. It‘s a naked hardcover with matching artwork.

The book is very nicely bound & built to last. It‘s worth the hefty price tag. You can‘t go wrong with a Folio Society special edition.

I eagerly await the next Stephen King SE & maybe another children‘s classic!t

And for my lovely friend @curiouserandcurioser my first white rose has fully bloomed ๐Ÿ˜ this is towards our wonderland gardens #aliceinwonderland #wonderland #roses #flowers #garden #beauty #whiterose

For Wednesday‘s #bookquote, I‘m sharing a picture from Pinterest showing my favorite book quote from Alice‘s Adventures In Wonderland. I read this book in 2017 and I really enjoyed it. I also really enjoyed the movie adaptation that had Johnny Depp in it.

Yesterday I visited this exhibition about Alice in Wonderland :D

found this odd little copy of a classic at Books-A-Million today. they‘re having a moving sale, so it was cheap.

Lovely little edition to celebrate the Queens Jubliee.
There's a timeline in the back of facts on Queen Elizabeth and the pages have crowns down them and silver on the outside pages.

๐Ÿƒ I like the idea of gardening but I haven‘t gotten around to doing anything with my garden area yet.

๐Ÿƒ I always read inside. My neighborhood gets noisy when the weather warms up.

Sadly didn't read this while in childhood but reading it in adulthood doesn't stop it being any less magical and fun

1. Oh yes. Classics & modern classics. After all, 'classics' is not a genre - it's books written a long time ago that are still known and available today. Most books from the last centuries are forgotten/lost, but a few of them (from all 'genres': plays, political, sci-fi, historical, mystery, romance, moral..) somehow survived, are still in print and are still considered relevant today. โฌ‡

@Catsandbooks Leila! This is awesome! I'm in love with it! You absolutely nailed it. Thank you! ๐Ÿ’•

Since I'm finally testing my language skills in March when I go to Lisbon, I learnt the basics.
I'm going to do a little experiment to see the difference between talking to my friend and being surrounded by the language itself.
It will be interesting to see if I just obsorb words without even thinking about it.
I'm looking forward to this trip so much!

I made the invitation for my niece's (who's name is Alice) first birthday! It turned out so cute I had to share! I just can't wait to see her in person at the end of the month!! ๐Ÿ‡๐Ÿ›โค๏ธโ˜•๏ธ๐Ÿ˜ธ

I received this edition of Alice‘s Adventures in Wonderland that has a beautiful cover and illustrations. I had never read the book, just saw the animated movie when I was little.

I‘m glad I finally read this classic with all its zany characters.

I followed along with the audio book performed by Scarlet Johanssonโ€”she was incredible with all the characters‘ voices!

I finished a #BookSpin! It‘s the #DoubleSpin position on the #BookSpinBingo but I should be through both by the end of today. LOL

I know the story of Alice, of course, I think most people do, readerly people, any way. ๐Ÿ˜‰ But I have no recollection of really READING this. And I expected it to be tedious. ๐Ÿ˜ฑ It was not! I enjoyed it. Whew, I feel so much better saying that outloud.

Just colored this Alice picture on my phone. Thought u guys would appreciate it.

Just a little Litsy humor!!

Such a lovely book. I‘ve always been a fan of the movie versions and have wanted to read the book for as long as I remember. Thoroughly enjoyed it

My niece spent a few hours in our booth this afternoon. She was supposed to be helping with sales, but got distracted by our leather-bound version of Alice in Wonderland. I obviously didn't stop her. ๐Ÿงก

Lastly, she pictured to herself how this same little sister of hers would, in the after-time, be herself a grown woman; and how she would keep, through all her riper years, the simple and loving heart of her childhood: and how she would gather about her other little children, and make their eyes bright and eager with many a strange tale, perhaps even with the dream of Wonderland of long ago: and how she would feel with all their simple sorrows,

I found some wonderful additions to my Alice in Wonderland collection while in Dayton, OH yesterday. The canvas print is an original piece of artwork created by an artist named Amy Kollar Anderson. I love it! ๐Ÿฅฐ
