we already read Alice's Adventures in Wonderland as a group, so not eligible. It's under "Alice in Wonderland" on the group's bookshelf - my bad I added an adaptation instead of the Lewis Carroll original, but we all read the original!
Per Cheryl's comment, took Through the Looking-Glass and What Alice Found There as the nomination and anyone who seconded that or alice in wonderland was counted. thanks.

you can second as many books as you want!

guideline is to try and nominate only one book per category per month.
