Alice's Adventures in Wonderland Retellings

-
Today (26 November 2015) is the 150th birthday of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll. It has been a beloved classic for years and personally my favourite book since I was a child.
 
 I have recently decided to branch out and look for some retellings, these are a number of the most popular/interesting ones I found on goodreads.com:
 

 

Splintered by A. G. Howard

Alice by Christina Henry

Heartless by Marissa Meyer

After Alice by Gregory Maguire

Alice in Zombieland by Nickolas Cook & Lewis Carroll

Alice in Zombieland by Gena Showalter

The Looking Glass Wars by Frank Beddor

Insanity by Cameron Jace

Queen of Hearts by Colleen Oakes

Once Upon A Zombie by Billy Phillips

 
 
These titles are in no special order. Also, I personally have not read all of these retellings but I plan to eventually.
 
If there are any other Alice's Adventures in Wonderland that you know of that is not on my list please feel free to leave a comment or contact me on

ALSO, the new movie Alice Through the Looking Glass is getting closer to hitting theatres in May 2016!

Spoiler Review: We Can Be Mended

This is a spoiler review for We Can Be Mended: An Allegiant Epilogue by Veronica Roth. This was a pre-order bonus gift when you submitted your receipt for Carve the Mark to the publishers. If you have not read the Divergent series, please note this review will contain spoilers from the last book in the trilogy, Allegiant . If you do not want to read spoilers for We Can Be Mended please stop reading now.     " We Can Be Mended is a short-story epilogue that focuses on Four and takes places five years after Allegiant, the conclusion of the Divergent series." ( goodreads )     I have not done a review on any books from the Divergent series (even though I plan to eventually). So before I start this review I want to make two things clear: First, Divergent is my favorite series, I love it to no end. I even have my own version of Tris bird tattoo, one bird (3 total) for each member of my family that I got when I moved out on my own.  Second, I accepted Tris

The following review is full of spoilers from Final Girls. Reading this review will reveal all the plot lines and secrets surrounding Quincy's life. Read this review at your own risk, you have been warned. August17 book for Poison Apple Book Club Instagram: @taleswithnicole #poisonapplebookclub "Ten years ago, college student Quincy Carpenter went on vacation with five friends and came back alone, the only survivor of a horror movie–scale massacre.

Lisa, who lost nine sorority sisters to a college dropout's knife; Sam, who went up against the Sack Man during her shift at the Nightlight Inn; and now Quincy, who ran bleeding through the woods to escape Pine Cottage and the man she refers to only as Him. The three girls are all attempting to put their nightmares behind them, and, with that, one another. Despite the media'

Wonderland: The Queen of Hearts vs. Red Queen

One of my biggest pet peeves regarding Alice's Adventures in Wonderland is the common confusion with The Queen of Hearts and Red Queen. Between the 1951 Disney version as well as the Disney live action movies, they confuse many characteristics and as much as I love all the movies it is a little annoying.   Alice's Adventures in Wonderland is my favorite book and have read it several times over the years. However I've actually once read Through the Looking Glass twice, and my memory on it isn't as good as the first story. I may have to read up on them both again soon!   I decided to make a post and fully identify each character to clarify the confusion.     THE QUEEN OF HEARTS - Appears in Alice's Adventures in Wonderland - Catchphrase "Off with her Head" - Enraged easily - Plays croquet - Has 10 children (a full suit) - Married to the King of Hearts - Hates white roses - She is a great baker     RED QUEEN - Appea
