Queen of Hearts | Colleen Oakes
The first novel in Colleen Oakess epic, imaginative series tells the origin of one of the most infamous villainsthe Queen of Hearts.This is not the story of the Wonderland we know. Alice has not fallen down a rabbit hole. This is a Wonderland where beneath each smile lies a secret, each tart comes with a demand, and only prisoners tell the truth.Dinah is the princess who will one day reign over Wonderland. She has not yet seen the dark depths of her kingdom; she longs only for her fathers approval and a future with the boy she loves. But when a betrayal breaks her heart and threatens her throne, she is launched into Wonderlands dangerous political game. Dinah must stay one step ahead of her cunning enemies or shell lose not just the crown but her head.

“Oh, my future queen, you‘re late!” Harris hopped from one foot to the other, his plump face soaked with a cold sweat. He pulled off his thick-rimmed glasses and wiped them on his white checkered ascot.

Another one down from the tbr!

It felt familiar and new and that was part of the fun and the intrigue. I loved the twists and turns that this went through, even if I did figure out some plot points before it happened, because of how much I was enjoying this. Oakes' take on wonderland was just as rich and detailed as I remember the original being and it took me back to that world.

This book series was so good!! It made me cry, laugh, and I fell in love with Dinah. I would seriously recommend this to girls with dark hearts.

♥️♥️ Okay, so here are the final prompts for my #TBRDeckofCards! My next post will be the first four prompts that I choose for 2021! Hope you all have as much fun choosing prompts as I did! ♥️♥️

MrBook I need to share this on LitsyHappenings. Is there are a deadline by which to set this up? 4y
Clwojick @MrBook no deadline! People can choose to participate every month, or just jump in and out whenever they‘re undecided about they‘re next read. It‘s very flexible to ensure it works for everyone. 4y

My daughter as the queen of hearts 2014. This was the longest costume to make, I think it took 2 months. At one point I was drowning in tulle and it invaded my dreams. I bought the crown, septer and mask but I made everything else.

At first it felt like it was going to be a slow read. But as I read more and more of the book, I got more into it. It felt exciting to read it, I felt I was getting a rush from the story. I couldn‘t wait to see how it ended. I‘m so excited about the next book in the series. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I just added the tagged book to my #Litsyatoz records. I‘ve started books for #letterU and #letterX. So that leaves just three letters to go, O, Y, and Z, for which I already have books lined up! Barring a catastrophe I will finish this challenge much earlier than my normal crunch in November-December.

I finally finished this YA #letterQ book for #litsyatoz. Not any genre I‘d normally read, I read this only because it started with Q, BUT I liked it! It‘s a very good origin story about a royal heroine—and would be a successful story within any genre. I even liked the fantastical elements such as a well-done make-believe animal/character near the end. This appears to be the first in a trilogy. I will keep reading...

Birdsong28 @kaye I wasn't able to access it as we are in different countries and I have had a look on the Amazon website and its to do with copyright laws 📚📖 6y
Kaye I was wondering if it‘d work. I can‘t do much with it from my end, but if you go to Amazon chat I think they‘ll direct you with a way to choose something else in place of it. I hope you can get it figured out. 6y
Birdsong28 Thanks @kaye I just don't want it wasted 📚📖 6y
Kaye So sorry @Birdsong28 I‘ve been on Amazon chat for an hour. I had to cancel it as they said there‘s not a way to do kindle books overseas. Very sorry 😔 6y
Birdsong28 @kaye thanks for trying. I emailed them and they said the same thing it's ok. Thank you so much for the gesture 😘📚📖 6y
