and genres, and it made for an interesting group. Some of their stories I had read and some of them I was less familiar with. I love Alice in Wonderland so I was very pleased to see so much of her story in the books. I loved the caterpillars wisdom and how much of an influence it had on Alice. And Alice herself is one of my favorite heroines. (the Alice in Heather Lyon's Collectors' Society, that is.) She is logical to a fault, but has a touch of whimsy to her, and she is a force to be reckoned with. I would not want to be in a fight against her. 
 The plot of the Collectors' Society is so fascinating. I was riveted to this book. And I loved how long and fleshed out the story felt. There is a lot of meat to this book. And I still didn't want it to end. I could have used another 600 pages and not gotten bored. I loved the plot of the stories just as much as I loved the romantic elements of the story. Finn is so swoon worthy and him with Alice, just gave me a perma-grin. I loved how understanding they each were. There was no drama for the sake of drama in this story. And trust me, that was perfect because even though the romance was easy, there were plenty of other dramatic elements to keep you on your toes while reading. And lots and lots of action. 
 I could go on and on about the people and things that I loved about the Collectors' Society, but to save you all some rambles, I will just add one more thing. I am dying to learn more about the Librarian of the society. She is one creepy, creepy lady. And I have no idea who she is. If you love classic literature, and you love fantasy and fairy tales, this is a must read book for you. Even if you don't and you like YA and new adult, this is also a must read. I am recommending this book to everyone. I can hardly wait for the next book to come out later this year.
