Aside from being beautiful <a href=\"https:\/\/saraella.com\">books<\/a>, they feature an imaginative take on the already zany world of Alice&#8217;s Adventures in Wonderland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>      The story follows the young girl Alice Liddell as she navigates, with more or less success, the normal world and that of the Wonderland Reality. No doubt you&#8217;ve seen this series pop up on bookstagram. If you&#8217;ve been wondering about whether or not you should give it a read, here&#8217;s another recommendation! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">S.D. Smith and J.C.

Besides the fact that I will always associate those two things in the future, I will also always think fondly of how the series allowed me to think of something else when I was sick.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>      After reading the Green Ember series, I of course wanted to read the novel that S.D. Smith and his son wrote together. And I also really enjoyed it! I loved the real feel of it, and, even if it may be intended for a slightly younger audience, good <a href=\"https:\/\/sdsmith.com\">books<\/a> can be enjoyed by any age. Although you may receive strange looks when you talk about #Rabbitswithswords. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Chuck Black<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/simplyemilyrose.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/IMG_9331-768x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2672\" srcset=\"https:\/\/simplyemilyrose.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/IMG_9331-768x1024.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/simplyemilyrose.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/IMG_9331-225x300.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/simplyemilyrose.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/IMG_9331-1152x1536.jpeg 1152w, https:\/\/simplyemilyrose.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/IMG_9331.jpeg 1537w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>      These last books hold a special place for me, since I have been enjoying Chuck Black&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.chuckblack.com\">books <\/a>for many years, and also have the honor of being a part of his street team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>      I started, years ago, with the Knights series, then moved on to the Kingdom series, Wars of the Realm (my personal favorite) and also the newest series, The StarLore Legacy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>     Many of the books are written in allegorical form, or deal with the issues and struggles of today in an imaginative, creative way. I would recommend starting with the Knights or Wars of the Realm series&#8217;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>     I hope you enjoyed this post. Have you read any of these books already? Or others by these authors? I&#8217;d love to hear your thoughts in the comments! ~ Emily<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Happy Saturday y&#8217;all!
