When absent-minded Professor Random misplaces the main character from Alice in Wonderland, young Henry Witherspoon must book-jump to fetch Alice before chaos theory kicks in and the world vanishes. Along the way he meets Winnie Flapjack, a wit-cracking doodle witch with nothing to her name but a magic feather and a plan. Such as it is. Henry and Winnie brave the Dark Queen, whatwolves, pirates, Struths, and fluttersmoths, Priscilla and Charybdis, obnoxiously cheerful vampires, Baron Samedi, a nine-dimensional cat, and one perpetually inebriated Muse to rescue Alice and save the world by tea time.
We checked out the reviews on Random Magic and they are great! We thought we were in for a treat of all tricky-treats!
Greta: But, have you ever gone to a movie that you thought would be off the hook and you wound up coming home and saying “What the hell was that about”?
Uhyesplease: Oh yeah – been there, done that. Have the ticket stub and the headache that goes along with it. Can anyone say “The Number 23” with Jim Carrey in it?
Greta: Hey! I liked that movie!! What? Are you questioning my awesome tastes? OK… Ok….What about this -Have you ever had a friend who is just sooo obsessed with Lady Gaga and you being the good friend learns a couple of the big chorus lines just so you can sing along in the car. But in secret you just don’t understand who on earth can love such a bizarre woman? (Greta loves Lady Gaga and this means Uhyesplease has to learn lyrics to please her)Random Magic is a lot like a Lady Gaga Meat Dress. Bizarre, out there, and leaving you a bit confused and craving Beef. (And it’s what’s for dinner)
Uhyesplease: And for those of you who read the book on the tour, here are a couple of questions for you – Discuss:
1. Do you think the cover captured the true spirit of the book? What would you have chosen to put on there?
2. Did Winnie remind you in any way of Pippi Longstockings?
3. In the book there are several hints of Wonderland and various Fairy Tales sprinkled throughout. Which was your favorite?
4. How old did you think Winnie and Henry were?
Thanks again so much for reading this book along with me, Greta, I couldn’t have done it without you! Also please note that she wrote most of the review. I love being the noble side kick!

This is so what's going to happen when Heather & Pushy write their review of Mid-Afternoon. Sigh.

I love seeing honest reviews like this. Now everyone can see the types of comments Greta leaves when she prereads my fic chapters. She's the funniest girl I know, plus it helps that we're both pretty warped. Now I'm not the only one who has posted a review of something that just wasn't my cup of tea. I'm still scratching my head over LJ Smith's last Vampire Diaries book.
And Jeff, you know that Pushy and I can be at least this entertaining and so much snarkier for your book review. I would have started reading it on my commute home yesterday, but I couldn't find it on my Kindle. So I had to work on plotting my zombie NaNoWriMo project instead. Very soon, Jeff, very soon you'll be reading all about your vampire book. LOL.

Every time I see the cover of Random Magic I wonder why it's got a picture of Nicole Kidman on the cover.

I know…I feel a snarkstorm coming. At least I know it'll be entertaining, and in the end, isn't entertainment the most important thing in life? Probably not. But still, it's pretty high up there.
