My TBR list is always growing and I thought it would be fun to share my anticipation for those books with all of you. This is not my own original meme; it belongs to Breaking the Spine. It specifically spotlights upcoming releases. As it implies in the title, I'll be posting this meme on Wednesdays. Please feel free to comment and let me know what books you guys are waiting on as well!

What began with a reimagining of Peter Pan and Wendy now twists into a stunning version of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass!
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?
Read my review of Everland here!
First of all, Everland was the best Peter Pan retelling that I have ever read!
And this Peter Pan retelling is now being twisted into an Alice in Wonderland story?!
To say that I'm excited for Umberland is a severe understatement!
What about you guys? Have you read Everland? Are you excited for Umberland? Are they on your TBR? Let me know!
Wendy Spinale is a former character actor for the Disneyland theme park (so she’s very familiar with the world of make believe). Everland is her debut novel. Wendy lives with her family in the San Francisco Bay Area.

I never got around to buying and reading Everland but I really want it now since you say it's the best Peter Pan retelling. Sounds very promising. I hope you'll love the sequel as well!

ReplyDeleteAdd them to your TBR, you won't regret it!
DeleteYou're welcome and thank you for visiting my blog!
EVERLAND made my toes curl! It was such a wonderful book, so full of excitement and adventure. As you read, you actually feel like you're a part of the story. I loved it! I absolutely CAN NOT WAIT for UMBERLAND to be released! There goes my toes again. Wendy Spinale has the gift of taking something great and making it AWESOME!
ReplyDeleteI completely agree! I love Everland so much, I can't wait to read it! And Wendy is fabulous, I'm excited to see what she has in store for us!
DeleteI haven't read Everland yet; and this is the first time I've heard of it. EEEPP! Don't thrash me! With all the love I see I'm going to check it out!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by!
No way! Well, I'm getting a lot of that on this post but I'm glad you've heard of it now! Definitely check it out!
DeleteEverland is on my #2 TBR. You know the one you have every wish and hope you will get to sometime in the future. I am getting closer to that TBR though because I am doing a lot of personal reading this year and not many ARCs.
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like fun, I hope you get to it really soon then!
DeleteI remember seeing Everland around last year! I've not read it. My personal favorite Peter Pan retelling is Unhooked by Lisa Maxwell. :D I hope you enjoy this book when you get a chance to read it!
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting my blog! Have a great week, Brittany. =)
Alyssa @ The Eater of Books!
I've heard good things about Unhooked! It's on my TBR but I have no idea when I'm going to get to read it haha.
DeleteYou're welcome and thanks for visiting mine!
Ohh I remember wanting to read Everland! It sounded so good. I love Alice In Wonderland so this twist definitely intrigues me. Great pick!
ReplyDeleteYou should definitely read them ASAP! Thanks for stopping by!
