Emma | 2089 comments That's okay, feel free to take your time Lienitte, I will probably go slow too. :)


message 6: by ★ℕłℂØℓҾ★ (Nix), snowflakes and eyelashes (new)

★ℕłℂØℓҾ★ (Nix) (ladyknightnix) | 4549 comments I've only gotten through the first chapter or two so far, but I'd like to start off the discussion with the fact that I love Alice in Wonderland retellings, and this one is no exception so far :)

It's cool that (view spoiler)

I like the connection to the age-old story already. Can't wait to read more!

(Liene) (lieniitte) | 727 comments I'm not sure I will be able to get to this just now, I haven't been as busy as I am now in a long time.. :D

I will try, but probably in a week.
I'm glad you're liking it, Nicole! :)

(Liene) (lieniitte) | 727 comments I just got the audio book for this, so that will make reading it go faster. I usually am reading one book and listening to another, so I hope I catch up sometime soon :)

Vicki (goodreadscomboobooper49) | 31156 comments I am So behind....on every BR and I am so sorry! I just have had life happen so it's been difficult to get in any real reading time.


message 28: by Emma (new)

Emma | 2089 comments It's okay Vicki, I hope everything is alright. I am behind in some too.

message 34: by Emma (new)

Emma | 2089 comments Just finished chapter 8, Sorry Nicole for taking so long. Did not realise how far behind I was. Is good though. Reading on my kindle so forty% the way through.

How is everyone else getting on?


message 35: by ★ℕłℂØℓҾ★ (Nix), snowflakes and eyelashes (new)

★ℕłℂØℓҾ★ (Nix) (ladyknightnix) | 4549 comments It's all good guys, I'm still only about 60-something% myself. Taking my time with this one as well! Had to back out of some of my other buddy reads cuz I've just gotten way busy and distracted, but I'm determined to stick with this one!


message 36: by Emma (new)

Emma | 2089 comments That's good. I am trying to get some finished I keep taking my time then ending up with about ten on the go. Not good. but I'll catch up :)


message 37: by ★ℕłℂØℓҾ★ (Nix), snowflakes and eyelashes (new)

★ℕłℂØℓҾ★ (Nix) (ladyknightnix) | 4549 comments Finally finished this! Was good but not as good as I'd been expecting. The pace felt really fast, like it was just barely skimming the surface at times.

(view spoiler)

Interesting spin on the wonderland story though! I liked that it was a dark, almost scary at times, version. Very unique.


message 38: by Emma (new)

Emma | 2089 comments It is good. I am looking forward to finishing it. :) Glad to hear you enjoyed it.
