We at Steampunkary love the different things you can make with printables, so we went on a hunt for the best Alice in Wonderland-inspired printables. All four displayed below are to assemble journals with the Alice in Wonderland theme. These all have vintage/distressed-looking designs and old-fashioned imagery. Alice, Mad Hatter, das weiße Kaninchen, die Herzogin..., alle bekannten Figuren haben kleinere und größere Rollen. Man erfährt, wie das weiße Kaninchen zu seiner Taschenuhr kommt und nimmt an der berühmten Gartenparty der Herzkönigin teil, mit Flamingos und rollenden Köpfen. But anyway. The writing in this book isn't good. In all honesty, the story wasn't terrible. It was just written terribly. Take this paragraph for example:

I just can't even with this book. There is so much potential here for a good story that it makes my heart sad at how poorly executed this was. I mean, if the plot hadn't been so watered-down and boring and the writing hadn't been simplistic and confusing, this really could have been a fun, interesting book.

This review can also be found on my blog, The Never-Ending TBR Pile: https://wendylohr.wordpress.com/2019/... A great combination of Steampunk and Alice in Wonderland with adorable rabbits holding playing cards dangling alone with gears. Instead of the madness of engineering and pistons, Carroll's novel explored the glorious madness of human psychology. As his protagonist Alice moves from dreamy encounter to dreamy encounter, watching nursery rhymes coming to life and fighting bloodthirsty monarchs made of cards, we witness something that for the Victorians was just as stunning as a giant dynamo. Psychiatry was in its infancy in the 19th century, and this brave new science suggested there was a method in madness. The muddle of our dreams might illuminate the truth about human consciousness; the murmurings of madwomen could shed light on how so-called sane people think. I really liked the audio narration. Typically I struggle with accents but this one was just right to keep it engaging and keep my attention. I enjoyed the voices, especially the sweet little voice given to Alice's sister.The experience on average lasts 45 minutes to an hour (most people take an hour) and we are fully wheelchair accessible

If you know someone who collects chess sets or Alice in Wonderland figurines, they will love this Alice in Wonderland Fantasy Chess Set. Figurines are made in resin, made to be played although you can set them up as a display for parties. Makes a great gift for a special occasion. While I liked the story I wasn't fully in love with it. I didn't connect with the characters. Alice at times was a little rash. I did love Bess and Henry aka the hatter. Against my better judgement, I looked. The Queen grinned at me while she sat in her bath of blood holding a human heart in her hands." (p. 150)Alice in Wonderland Junk Journal DIY Journal Alice in Wonderland Journal Kit Alice in Wonderland Journal Collage Art Steampunk Alice in Wonderland Journal Steampunk Alice in Wonderland Rabbit Earrings I never read anything that has to do with Steampunk. I know what steampunk is but I've never fully looked into the subject matter. I saw this and since I haven't read many Alice in Wonderland retellings In case you were wondering about the steampunk elements in this book... they are minimal like I said. Our characters travel in airships and there are some automatons at the end. There is also this stupid mechanical cat that doesn't add to the plot or anything. It is only there so that they could name it Cheshire and call it "steampunk". Ugh. So basically, this book has a steampunk skin (meaning that the steampunk elements are only skin deep). I'm tired of books like this that call themselves "steampunk", but really only have the most stereotypical steampunk aesthetics like corsets, automatons, goggles, parasols, etc. Additionally, the television show Gotham‘s current season (2016) has the Mad Hatter as its main villain as well as many themes and characters from Alice. In this instance, Alice is the Mad Hatter’s sister, his henchman are Tweedle Dum and Tweedle Dee and the White Rabbit brought a message to Jim Gordon. The stories are very popular and perfect for steampunk cosplay, Halloween, birthday parties and engagement parties. There are so many ways you can make Alice into a Victorian steampunk extravaganza. This post is a look into Alice in Wonderland character costumes for children and adults in more classical and steampunk versions of some of the characters. Since the story already has the clothing and accessories of the Victorian era, it is just a matter of how much interpretation you want to add for your own costume.

This adorable bracelet is full of Disney-style silver-tone charms including the Mad Hatter’s hat, key, Cheshire Cat and Looking Glass.

I have listened to Lesley Parkin in one other audio, Highland Raven, also a Melaine Karsak book and loved her work then. Curiouser and Curiouser is no exception. She does a plethora of accents and different pitches for the assortment of characters and reads through smoothly. As someone who frequently hits the 2x speed option to move things along, I am always surprised to find narrators that I simply want to enjoy. I will certainly be adding more of her work to my TBR in the future. Off with Your Shoes! Queen of Hearts Alice in Wonderland Door Mat Alice in Wonderland Collection – All Four Books: Alice in Wonderland, Alice Through the Looking Glass, Hunting of the Snark and Alice Underground (Illustrated) With a gripping plot and a clear, witty writing style, the author has given new, sparkling life to much-beloved characters such as a totally reimagined Caterpillar, the colourful Mad Hatter, the chaming Knave, a surprising Cheshire cat, and Alice herself, a woman of brain and bravery.

I'm left wondering if the sentence "but the transition had been smooth" is meant to read "but the transition hadn't been smooth". Either way, it does't really make sense to me. Also, they live together. How they hell have they not found the "timing" to get it on? And why not? How does that serve the story? It is only a detriment to the believe-ability of their relationship. So why? I don't even like romance. Why am I advocating for it? Because it would have made their relationship better, that's why. Just a little bit of sexual tension would have added another level to their dynamic. Instead, their interactions are cheesy and boring and predictable. Series Info/Source: This is the first book in the Steampunk Fairy Tales. There are five books in this series. I borrowed this through Kindle Unlimited.
