Alice I Have Been by Melanie Benjamin (Audio Review)

Retro Review Alice I Have Been  by Melanie Benjamin Historical Fiction, 12+ Hours Few works of literature are as universally beloved as Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. Now, in this spellbinding historical novel, we meet the young girl whose bright spirit sent her on an unforgettable trip down the rabbit hole–and the grown woman whose story is no less enthralling. But oh my dear, I am tired of being Alice in Wonderland. Does it sound ungrateful? Alice Liddell Hargreaves’s life has been a richly woven tapestry: As a young woman, wife, mother, and widow, she’s experienced intense passion, great privilege, and greater tragedy. But as she nears her eighty-first birthday, she knows that, to the world around her, she is and will always be only “Alice.” Her life was permanently dog-eared at one fateful moment in her tenth year–the golden summer day she urged a grown-up friend to write down one of his fanciful stories. That story, a wild tale of rabbits, queens, and ...

Fresh New Books January 6, 2024 - Kiss Your $ Goodbye

 New Books Because You Know You Need Them! I'm going to start spotlighting brand new releases I've added to my "want to buy" list so you can succumb to temptation too. The focus will be on dark fiction and romance and the occasional thriller. Today I found two tempting horror novels and one dark romance from new-to-me writers.  The Bloody Brick Road by Maude Royer (horror fiction) In this wildly creative, horror-soaked reimagining of L. Frank Baum’s The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, nothing is as it seems in Dorothy’s dystopian nightmare. Fans of Tender Is the Flesh and Maeve Fly will want to follow her twisted journey down the yellow-brick road. When nineteen-year-old Dorothy Noroît finds out she is pregnant, the road ahead seems bathed in golden light. She has a hard-working boyfriend, a beautiful home, and a job where she works with her best friend. But on October 2nd, 1994, everything changes. Fast forward twenty-four years. The city of Montreal is plagued by extremist ...

Cruelty Free: A Novel by Caroline Glenn | Horror Fiction Audio Review

 This one was a little too cruel for me. My 2 Cents for Free! Cruelty Free by Caoline Glenn Released February 3, 2026 Source: Netgalley See more @  Goodreads “You’re not ugly you’re just poor” Ok, then. “Cruelty Free” is a pretty hilarious title for this one because the book is filled with grief, torment, and cruelty! It is filled to the brim with cruelty. I mean, the whole thing is based on a woman’s pain and mental collapse after a tragic event. And, I feel this must be said, if you dislike reading about the death of an innocent SPOILER dog there is one here and, yes indeed, it is still bothering me many hours later. Of all the awful scenes in this book, I am struggling to get that one out of my head. It came out of nowhere. It was too descriptive for my liking, and it was kind of unnecessary. There are two things I prefer knowing ahead of time. That was one, the other is suicide, and a heads up is always appreciated. I wish I’d had it here. Maybe you’ll get a warning in ...
