Wonderland started in 2005 as a collaborative space for our writing group to share news, links, book recommendations, and thoughts on writing for young adults.
Through various iterations, we've still held to our core vision, finding Wonderland, and sharing our discoveries.
We blog to hear ourselves think, in a crowded field, and a busy social-media laden world. We blog to create a corner of community, and hope you feel welcome here.
Click the links to discover more about what makes us who we are and about what we do. You can also visit Tanita on her official author site, and aquafortis on her official author site.
NB: as per the FTC Guidelines for blogging and endorsements, Finding Wonderland hereby states that unless otherwise stated (such as, if we get it from the library or buy it ourselves), readers should assume that every book reviewed on our site is provided to the reviewers by the publisher or the author free of charge or obligation.

(Okay, that was probably some disturbing imagery)
The Doe IS gorgeous. That ceiling!
I've been to the Seattle library, but I'd never seen it from above like that. WOW.
I'm just not sure how much reading I'd get done in some of these (Like St. Gallen!). There would be a lot of lying on the floor, looking up and beaming ecstatically… and people would step around me and call security…
ALSO: Dude. I am so going to the Library of Congress in June. SO going.
I just imagine the lovely smell of those libaries. I love that slide show, eye candy for bibliophiles.
No sweetie, it is not just you!
I haven't been to nearly enough of these libraries, although I have been to the Beinecke Rare Book Library at Yale. The most memorable thing that happened while I was there was that I was looking at this map on the wall and a staff member passed by, and so I asked him what the deal was with the map because it was obviously old and not terribly accurate and there was no sign. The staff member was like, "Oh, that? Some guy who sailed with Columbus drew that. Can't remember his name. He wasn't that important."
Tanita, When I'm feeling blue here at the library, I go hang out in the stacks. I became a librarian primarily because I find it so profoundly comforting to be around large numbers of books all day long.
