Splintered

This stunning debut captures the grotesque madness of a mystical under-land, as well as a girl's pangs of first love and independence. Alyssa Gardner hears the whispers of bugs and flowers--precisely the affliction that landed her mother in a mental hospital years before. This family curse stretches back to her ancestor Alice Liddell, the real-life inspiration for Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. Alyssa might be crazy, but she manages to keep it together. For now. When her mother's mental health takes a turn for the worse, Alyssa learns that what she thought was fiction is based in terrifying reality. The real Wonderland is a place far darker and more twisted than Lewis Carroll ever let on. There, Alyssa must pass a series of tests, including draining an ocean of Alice's tears, waking the slumbering tea party, and subduing a vicious bandersnatch, to fix Alice's mistakes and save her family. She must also decide whom to trust: Jeb, her gorgeous best friend and secret crush, or the sexy but suspicious Morpheus, her guide through Wonderland, who may have dark motives of his own.
This series is so much better than this description! I'm going to start the 3rd one this weekend.

I'd suggest, if you want the Jabberwacky Poem Magnet, to customize the image. Simply click the button that looks like the larger moon over the mountains, then make use the boxes in the corners of the image to make it just a bit smaller. Click the circle in the center of the arrow buttons and it'll bring the poem back to the center of the magnet. Then blame the designer for being a noob!

 I don't like sharing items that aren't (in my opinion) ready to go as is, but in this case, I really like that poem magnet.

Yes I've read every book listed here. That doesn't mean that I've always agreed with the content. I make a habit of reading things that are outside my comfort zone in an effort to try to understand people who are different than me.

That being said, if you have something negative to say, keep it to yourself and maybe read the book you're about to bash me about. You might learn something. If you want to start an honest conversation, feel more than welcome.

If you have a book recommendation, I'd love to hear it!
