“Have you guessed the riddle yet?” the Hatter said, turning to Alice again.

Sahiary (ravenstark) | 145 comments I'm going to go for 3 books.

3/3 COMPLETE

1. Finding the first clue will be a treat. Look for something to eat. Read a book about food, with food on the cover or where the characters enjoy a good meal.
"The southern book club's guide to slaying vampire", by Grady Hendrix
1 star. Huge disappointment. Hope the next one's better.

2. Now that you're fed, go and look for the clue where you lay your head. Read a book with a dream sequence or where the character has a dream for their life.
"Falling" by T. J. Newman.
I mean, there was a dream at the beginning. I wish the book would have been like that dream, but sadly it wasn't.

9. Wanting more? Why don't you check the front door? Read a book that is part of a series.
"Get a life, Chloe Brown" and "Take a hint, Dani Brown", both by Talia Hibbert.
Enjoyed the first one, the second... not so much.
