Alice's Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll

-
"We're all mad here".

While studying in a London park with her older sister and cat, a very bored Alice takes notice to a peculiar white rabbit. Following the white rabbit, Alice stumbles down a rabbit hole into the strange world of Wonderland where everyone is mad and nothing is ordinary. Along her journey to get back home she meets a lot of interesting characters and occasionally finds her curious self getting into trouble.
 
When I was little, I had a golden book of Alice in Wonderland that I loved, and was also one of my favourite Disney movies. When I found out it was an actual book I couldn't get my hands on it fast enough. I have read and reread it several times over the last decade and it is still my number one favourite book of all times. I also enjoy the original artwork in the story, it's a nice addition, especially after Alice mentions in the first chapter "what is the use of a book without pictures". Alice is such a curious troublemaking young girl, which is what I love about her. She's curious about everything, and in a place like Wonderland there's a lot of interesting things to question about. The book is filled with so many favourite characters like Mad Hatter, the Cheshire Cat, and even the Queen of Hearts (Red Queen). I personally own a number of copies of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, it's definitely a story I wish to share with my own potential children in the future.

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

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
