Follow Your Passion: A Seamless Tumblr Journey
Why is a raven like a writing desk?
The fate of their lives, how grotesque.
A story of lies and, a story of sorrow.
The passion once in her heart, now hollow.
The jester's pledge to his beloved, now forgotten with his soul.
The queen's tyranny and her eyes had gone cold.
Off with his head, she spoke with a vengeance and hidden glee.
The hatter's madness made him laugh like a banshee.
A silent whisper from a gossipy cat with feline whiskers.
Greatly missing the whimsical child he once held dear.
All because of an honest mistake involving pumpkins.
That lead to a sickly wife who became a corruption.
Now she was a monster of great wings and destruction.
Leaving her husband, the only one who could make any deductions.
Three pale-skinned creatures by the treacle well.
The only ones who drew their fates and left them to compel.
If only time could have been more merciful.
Because their stories would make even the harshest of hearts sniffle.
A romance that ended tragically, emphatically.
Left a hatred-filled heart that spoke sporadically.
Why is a raven like a writing desk?
The maker of hats had no answer, for his mind was a mess.
The maiden with a faint heart, who had made bad choices.
Now she bears the burden of her regrettable actions.
And in the distance, a young gal in blue would soon fall through the looking glass.
If she could actually help them, she'd be one crazy, impossible lass.

An absolute must read.
"Long before she was the terror of wonderland, the infamous Queen of Hearts, she was just a girl who wanted to fall in love."
This novel brings readers excitement and illicit romance between two star crossed lovers.
The protagonist, Katherine, is the daughter of a noble and only wants to open a bakery to share her love of pastries with the folks of wonderland. But fate has other plans when she is suddenly told of the foolish King's desire to marry her.
I found this novel to be painfully beautiful because as the reader we already know that she is going to marry the king. We know how the story ends. We know and yet we hope stubbornly that she will succeed in her quest to follow her dreams by opening a bakery and be with the one she loves. And when she ultimately fails we can't be surprised; we knew this was coming.
I give this book 5 stars because I will be crying over this book 'till the end of time.
