I know, I haven’t announced when the next Book is coming out yet even though I said I would. I’ve been having a personal life crisis and I don’t want to pick a date without knowing that I can hit it. I will say that tentatively April, though. And until then, I have a few books for you to check out to get you in the mood for the next release!
Alice in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll
Of course! Check out the original and see where the original ideas all came from! It’s a bit of a strange read, but very worthwhile! It’s remarkably both similar and different from a lot of the movie adaptations, and it’s fun to see where the original story went.
The Hazel Wood by Melissa Albert
Alice being a bit of a loner and being called to another world? Yep! Horror elements and questionable life choices? Check! A whole bunch of fairy tales that you didn’t really think belonged together but work surprisingly well in a single book? Bingo!
Every Heart a Doorway by Seannan McGuire
I feel like this one is almost cheating with how similar it is. It follows a young girl going to a boarding school of other young girls who have all been to another world and are trying to either readjust to life in the real world or head back to their fantastical other realms. Also, it’s a lot of fun!
Miss Mabel’s School for Girls by Katie Cross
Bianca’s story of going to school to save her own life and the lives of her family from a cruel curse has echoes of a similar journey to it. Also, the universe is a little fun, though I would warn about that one chapter involving a cat for anyone sensitive to that.
Sawkill Girls by Clare Legrand
I know this is a bit of a weird one, but this one has a very similar feel to it as the second half of The Looking Glass Saga. Each of the three girls has elements of Alice or Adrianna to them, and the demon definitely feels like some combination of the Bandersnatch and Cheshire Cat.
