My Pick...
Splinteredby A.G. Howard
Genre: YA Fantasy/Romance/Retelling
Publication Date: January 1, 2013
"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." (via goodreads)
I adore "Alice in Wonderland" stories! (The original ones and any form of retellings!) So when I heard about this book, I could not wait to read it. I instantly added it to my TBR list (as well as my future-book-buying list). Come on 2013, get here quicker!!!!!!
What upcoming books are you anticipating?
