This is my second year doing #24in48 (where you read for 24 hours in a 48 hour period. I usually do it over a weekend so as to not kill myself!) I love doing a combination of books, things I’ve had on my TBR list for a while, finishing up books I’ve been slowly working through, and I’ll always throw something new into the mix! Here’s what I read:

• Not That Kind of Girl by Lena Dunham (I was not a huge fan, but I do appreciate Dunham’s honesty and approach to this pseudo-memoir. )
• Library of Souls by Ransom Riggs (A longer review of this series to come!)
• Wind in the Willows by Kenneth Grahame (I’d never read it and it was such a delightful collection of stories for children!)
• Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me? (And other concerns)  by Mindy Kaling (I loved this one. And started right away on her second.)

My ravishing friend Amanda shares my love for all things Alice and recently reviewed Alice by Christina Henry on Smart Bitches, Trashy Books. You can read the full review here. I’m definitely adding it to my book list!

Alice isn’t your grandmother’s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. Hell, I don’t even know if it’s my version of it either. It’s dark, disturbing, both a retelling and a continuation of the classic, and I’m issuing all the trigger warnings. . . . But if dark and disturbing is your jam, then have at it.

P.S. Want more Alice? Amanda’s also written a recent post for Book Riot (what doesn’t this girl do?) with more Alice adaptations! Here
