pickI‘ll give this a pick, even though the ending made me drop my rating to 3.5. I liked the creativity of Alice going back. It was the feminine rage book I needed. But for being so short, the ending (which is built up from the beginning) did not need to be glossed over. That was frustrating.
That being said, if you ever find yourself yelling RIP EM APART BUNNY, while reading a book, you can‘t say it wasn‘t enjoyable. 😳
One thing was certain, that the white kitten had had nothing to do with it: it was the black kitten‘s fault entirely.

Alice was beginning to get very tired of sitting by her sister on the bank, and having nothing to do: once or twice she had peeped into the book her sister was reading, but it had no pictures or conversations in it, 'and what is the use of a book,' thought Alice, ‘without pictures or conversation?'

pickThis dystopian novel which pulls heavily from 1984 follows a book censor as he becomes obsessed in the books he‘s reviewing. It looks at a society where the majority of books are banned and a child having an imagination is considered an illness. The absurdness of it all would be funny if not for how terrifying the parallels to certain things happening in the world.
panWhat in the world? I've seen the Disney movie once, when I was a child but thought I should read the classic as an adult. So weird. Wonder if the manuscript was submitted today if it would even make it out of the publisher slush pile.

pickAl-Essa's “looking glass“ is perhaps more than it seems, and we are easily manipulated into caring for characters even though they bear titles, like stock figures, rather than names. The “Everyman“ approach keeps a strange distance, until we come to understand the power of our own imaginations with an ending that has been described as a “narrative rupture“ or a “twist worthy of Kafka.“ #TOB2025
Anyone who knows me knows my love of quotes. I keep a commonplace book full of them. So I thought, add a couple to my junk journal page regarding Alice in Wonderland. The concept started with the mini book (I have several duplicates of the Zaru Mini Book ones) and morphed from there. The two quotes, I printed off and matted and the jewel is a charm from Hobby Lobby. Think I might take more duplicates and work up pages for them as well
