[Emma]

Ye me too :)

I'm spending the morning get caught up
while I charge my kindle

then I plan to start this one! I can't wait!

[Emma]

Okay take your time :) my kindle is charging too, reading a paperback for a little bit :)

Finished chapter 1 - not much to say really, not much has happened yet, not really sure I like the writing style, not sure why, something is just not gelling with me, oh well, it's not bad enough for me not to carry on though.

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

I'm starting now! I'll probably finish it in one sitting but I'll update often :)

ugh....I hope we like this one :)

sorry, I struggled with Internet connection last night.

I copied my posts into a word doc so I'll post them all here :)

chapter 1 (view spoiler)[ yeah, this one is a little.....I don't know, silly. And jeez, talk about telling instead of showing.... (hide spoiler)]

chapter 2 (view spoiler)[ wow, Henry is kind of a jerk. I hope Wonderland humbles him (hide spoiler)]

6 chapters (view spoiler)[ I like that it's finally less description and more talking and about characters

I think it's funny they keep referring to him as boy Alice and how stupid they are. some of the quips are funny

but I'm not finding the two voices/thoughts very distinct (hide spoiler)]

chapter 10 (view spoiler)[ aww, their first kiss was sweet. I don't mean that as a pun either. I was cute :) (hide spoiler)]

chapter 13 (view spoiler)[Oh...I didn't expect Hatter to come into OUR world. NOW who doesn't know what's going on! LOL

and of course the Red King is there! He ran too, I'm sure! (hide spoiler)]

21 chapters(view spoiler)[
I like the Red King. he has such a good heart and understands his people

and I liked Henry's realization that Wonderland takes belief in it. That's how you gain power in it (hide spoiler)]

The end(view spoiler)[ well...that was really uneventful. I mean, I'm glad they killed the queen. but it just seemed so...easy. Why hadn't anyone done that sooner? (hide spoiler)]

Meh. this one was not the best. I hope you like it more than I did!

[Emma]

I don't think I am going to be able to finish the fully loaded book challenge, I am still going to start them each day but only one chapter. So I will so be able to catch up with the other ones i am being v slow at. My bf is hardly ever off work and we are spending the week together so won't be until monday sorry I do promise to finish them all eventually lol

oh no worries, at all Emma!!! Pick this one up when you can!! I'm just hanging out so no rush, truly!! get it it when you can!

I hope you have so much fun with your bf.
:) we can change the date and move to this to "to read" until you have time, too! It's no fun when reading feels stressful!

[Emma]

No it's fine I should get to it soon, almost finished Heart of Ice and hope to finish it today :)

[Emma]

chapter 2 (view spoiler)[ okay so Alice's brother really doesn't like her, and this is how she is going to show him wonderland exists? Oh well this can only end badly. (hide spoiler)]

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

right?! what a way to find out about Wonderland!

[Emma]

Chapter 3 (view spoiler)[ I think the author has taken the talking in riddles and non sensical talk too far and it's making for an annoying read. (hide spoiler)]

You are almost through the jibberish and more annoying stuff. I think it gets easier to read soon :)

[Emma]

That's good to know :)

[Emma]

I haven't forgotten about this, just trying to get ahead on a few buddy reads then come back to this :)

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

no worries :)
