Express Yourself - May - Catching Up

Busy, busy, busy! The end of the school year and beginning of summer has consumed my life lately. But I finally have some time to catch up on my EYM posts!

May 5-9: Choose one of your fave books. Turn to page 89. What are the eigth & ninth sentences?

I’ve either been listening to Audiobooks or catching up on my e-reads which means my page count will be off. So I have opted to pick two lines from Grace Lost by Lauryl M. Lewis…

Gus broke our reunion. “I think we should get out of this place. They’ve been dead awhile. Nothing in here is going to be salvageable.”

May 12-16: Pick one fictional character who you think reflects your personality.

This is hard because I connect with a lot of characters but the one I love the most because she reminds me so much of myself is Aphrodite from the House of Night series by P.C. and Kristen Cast.

And to be caught up all the way, this week’s questions is (drum roll please)…

May 19-23: Have you ever known someone or dated someone who could be a celebrity twin?

Yes. My first husband looks exactly like Billy Corgan when he shaved his head and he was even a singer in a band who was signed by Universal Records and even has a song on American Pie 2.

AND… If Nascar stud, Dale Jr and singer, Justin Timberlake were to have a baby together… my husband would be the result. Hubba hubba!

Alyssa Gardner has been down the rabbit hole and faced the bandersnatch. She saved the life of Jeb, the guy she loves, and escaped the machinations of the disturbingly seductive Morpheus and the vindictive Queen Red. Now all she has to do is graduate high school and make it through prom so she can attend the prestigious art school in London she's always dreamed of.

That would be easier without her mother, freshly released from an asylum, acting overly protective and suspicious. And it would be much simpler if the mysterious Morpheus didn’t show up for school one day to tempt her with another dangerous quest in the dark, challenging Wonderland—where she (partly) belongs.

As prom and graduation creep closer, Alyssa juggles Morpheus’s unsettling presence in her real world with trying to tell Jeb the truth about a past he’s forgotten. Glimpses of Wonderland start to bleed through her art and into her world in very disturbing ways, and Morpheus warns that Queen Red won’t be far behind.

If Alyssa stays in the human realm, she could endanger Jeb, her parents, and everyone she loves. But if she steps through the rabbit hole again, she'll face a deadly battle that could cost more than just her head.


Come back tomorrow for Letter V!
