Weekly Reading List #74

By Cynthia Ayala

Hey there avid readers. I hope that everyone is having a wonderful day today. January is coming to a c-lose. How bizarre how fast time flies. I’ve had some extra time lately to work on my novel and catch up on my reading. I love having some of this extra time. I’m still so tired a lot of time though, working at a movie theater is no easy feat, but at least my current boss and coworkers are great. Hours may never be perfect, but when you’re working a job you enjoy, you take what you can get.

Anyway, check out this week’s reading list. Happy reading!

Another vibrant whimsical film following Alice (Mia Wasikowska) through Wonderland and Time in order to save her best friend, The Mad Hatter. Why?
