Slip into the mad, mad world of UMBERLAND! Today I'm partnering with @ireadYA to share Umberland by Wendy Spinale (@wendyspinale) with you! This much anticipated sequel to Everland released this week on May 9th and I can't wait to read it. What began with a reimagining of Peter Pan in Everland now twists into a stunning version of Alice in Wonderland! SYNOPSIS: Gwen, Pete, and the others have escaped from Everland. But the safe haven they hoped to find at Alnwick Castle doesn't exist. With the Queen of England on her deathbed, Duchess Alyssa has stepped in to lead, but things have gotten worse as the cure Doc created for the Horologia virus has mutated, accelerating the disease. The only possible solution he can think of is to go back to the virus's origin: an extinct poisonous apple. Legend has it a tree bearing the apple might be found at the center of a deadly labyrinth hidden deep within Germany. A place that no one in their right mind enters. Leaving Pete in charge of the survivors, Alyssa sets out with only her sword, her wits, and the help of Maddox Hadder, a wild boy who oversees the castle gardens. To get to the center of the maze, she'll be forced to battle monsters more terrifying than her darkest nightmares. But can anyone truly survive the madness of the maze? And what if there's no apple to be found there? #Umberland #EverlandSeries #Everland #bookstagram #aliceinwonderland #peterpan #retelling #YAreads #book #bookworm

Good morning! I'm going to a cookie and book exchange this afternoon. Even though one of the cookie batches was a complete failure, the others others turned out well! 😂 What are you doing today? #hootlootpairing - CR: Truthwitch #bookloversjanuary - YA Royalty: Three Dark Crowns #rfabjan17 - Didn't read in 2016: I didn't finish a bunch of series I stared. 🙈 Grisha, The Raven Cycle, lots more.

Falling Kingdoms is a book that I've been hearing about constantly for the last few months (@fearyourex). So when I saw a copy on the shelf at HPB I had to grab it. It's too bad this was the only book in the series or I would have grabbed them all! (I have no restraint when it comes to books!😂) Have you read this series? #booksfaithlovejan17 #rfabjan17 #fallingkingdoms #morganrhodes #fairylights #samsung #galaxys6

Happy Friday!! I'm so ready for the weekend. I'm going to a cookie and book exchange where we do a blind date with a book theme where we wrap a book in brown paper and write a few words describing it on the front. This is our third year doing this and it's so much fun! Are you doing anything fun this weekend? #nevernight #jaykristoff #fairylights #weekend #friday #friyay #fridayreads #readyfortheweekend

Good morning! I'm working from home today with a bad cold, but it's pjs, blankets, and kitty cuddles all day! Fulton loves when I stay home with him all day. This is one of my favorite candles and is a perfect accompaniment to the Pride and Prejudice audiobook I'm currently listening to. I know I've said it before, but the narration by Rosamund Pike is wonderful! #prideandprejudice #janeausten #pemberly #candle #inthewickoftime #fairylights #abookwormnewyear #alliwantforjanuaryisabook
