Welcome to Litsy!

This was required reading for my son's English class, so I read it with him. I was disappointed it wasn't more to our liking. There were too many details that were supposed to be clever that had me rolling my eyes. The worst thing, for me, was the White Rabbit being reimagined as Bibwit Harte (which is a terrible and unnecessary anagram), who is a large-earred albino.

Okey dokey I've just finished Hooked by A. C Wise and loved it! Now back to my Wonderland buddy @curiouserandcurioser as we journey through another Alice in Wonderland retelling series. If I remember correctly @LibrarianRyan you recommend this series? Ready when you are to go down the rabbit hole my friend. #aliceinwonderland #retelling #readingbuddy #buddyread #magic #nonsense #war

My charity shop finds for today. Couldn't believe my luck when my sister spotted the looking glass wars! Me and my fiancé love wonderland books and had been after this set. Praying they get the other 2 books in 📖♥️♣️♦️♠️📚 happy reading all

I struggled through the first 50 pages.... the characters were undeveloped and the write style was too bland. It‘s such a shame. It had good potential but I can‘t read anymore 🙁😟

This book isn‘t for me. It lacks focus. I don‘t care for the budding romance bw the 7yo girl and 10yo boy. I feel like the author tried too hard to shoehorn in every character from both Alice and Looking Glass. There was just too much going on.

Thank you @jlabombard10315 for my fy book and blanket my cat is already fighting my to use the blanket #blanketandabookswap

I absolutely love this book. It‘s a Alice Wonderland Retelling. Frank Beddor does a great job describing Wonderland and I love all of the action. This is my favorite book this year. Plus I just got my new Wonderland book sleeve. Isn‘t it BEAUTIFUL?!

Very good series.

I didn't hate it. Easy day off reading.

Surprisingly, I didn't like this as much as the first time I read it. The book felt slower than I remember, and I didn't really mesh with the writing style anymore. It felt a bit too simple for me sometimes.

Reading an oldie and a goodie for my under appreciated book for Bingo.

And yes, I can call it that. It's over a decade old.

Happy Pride everyone 🎉

I have read this book at least 3 times and this is my second time listening to it. Maybe now I will get to reading the sequel Seeing Redd. Now that I am packing to move, I found 3 copies. The reader has such a way of reading that you can not help but get lost in the telling. Plus where appropriate there is a nice rock music background which fits the story. Plus the tech they do for General Doppelganger is awesome. Long review on Goodreads.

I have read this book twice and am on at least my third listen. One of these days I'm going to finish the series. (I'm listening to it now in hopes of starting Seeing Redd soon. #lovetolisten #17booklove

I tore this book that I #lovetohate a new one on Goodreads - https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/86961938 #17booklove @jess.how

Absolutely love this trilogy. Was a favorite of mine to recommend while working at Borders. Great retelling of Alice in Wonderland.

I don't know much about #Steampunk, but if these books were ever made into movies, I'm positive they would have a steampunk vibe. #SeasonsReadings16

Like many others, I didn't quite understand the #BookThroughSomething prompt. I'm also not artistic when it comes to photography. So, I'm cheating a little bit and posting about a trilogy that involves the use of looking glasses, pools of water that transport people to other worlds, and traveling by portal. #Novemberland

🙀 I know.. I know.. I'm in the minority of the Litsy reviewers. I just couldn't get into it. I thought it too juvenile and all over the place. Maybe just not my cup of tea at this tea party. #ontothenext #ya #unbirthday #wonderland #didnotfinish #noguilt #audiobookfail

I love this book and it's accompanying graphic novel series Hatter M. It's a play on Alice in Wonderland but it's action and tech packed. It runs on the power of imagination. Hatter M with his hat that becomes a many blades throwing knife is my pic for #mancrush. He risks his life over and over to save the snotty princess. (Who grows up to be a better person) #octphotochallenge.

Another bail! Sigh.

I'm on a big Alice in Wonderland kick, so I grabbed this at the library. It was a fast, fun read with lots of imagination! I quite enjoyed it.

I feel this was how Alice in Wonderland would have been if George RR Martin had written it.

I have been thoroughly enjoying digging around for Alice retellings and stories inspired. Some have been great and some have...not. So far I like this story, I hope the library gets the second book in the trilogy soon.

What luck! I found an audiobook version that I can listen to while drawing! Woot woot!

So I found a great Alice in wonderland spinoff book by Fran Beddor and I have to wait for it to be available at my library now 😫

A bit of historical fiction, a lot of fantasy, and even a touch of steampunk... There are a lot of ideas here; but not as fully realized as one might yearn for; and it's not as dark as, say Suzanne Collins' Gregor the Overlander series. Guessing it's really for MG libraries/readers

Bailed on the audio years ago; but as an Alice fan, this is irresistible...
