I love #gothic stories. Tagging one I never hear people talking about, and the only Alcott I have enjoyed. A dark and twisted stalker tale, who would have guessed she could do this well if they know her from Little Women!

Thank you for the tag @Kenyazero ! I‘m sorry I didn‘t post this sooner.

This tagged book has been on my shelf for a long time. I read a few reviews just now and I probably should pick it up sooner rather than later.

I‘m not sure who has been tagged, so feel free to share your #ShelfieCorner too!

Kenyazero I love that your corner book is one you still have to read! So was mine. Hope you enjoy it when you get around to it! 4y

Who has read Alcott's gothic stalker drama?
Love Lamb too. Have read it multiple times and laugh through it always.
Long Way Gone and Last Chance are nonfiction books that honestly changed my life. Made me more aware of the world around me and I honestly adjusted actual things in my life after reading them.

I've had this for ages but, despite hearing good things about it, I've avoided reading it. I'm glad I've finally done so. It's so unlike Little Women, Rose In Bloom, and, my favorite, An Old Fashioned Girl that sometimes it didn't seem like an Alcott book. It was fun and melodramatic and adventurous with a heroine unlike any Victorian lady I've read. At least, not one actually written during the Victorian period. 😉

TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!! I love Alcott, but I haven't ever read this one. 4y
SarahMann This book is so threadbare in my library because I have read it so many times. It has action, intrigue, romance, mystery, murder... so well balanced. One of my favorite books of all time! 4y

Look idk what's going on with my tbr pile choices either. Anyway, this was a DELIGHT. Too sensational to be published in Alcott's time there's passion! murder! love! cruelty! Our heroine flees from Italy to France to Germany to England on the hunt for freedom from her dastardly former lover (who might like... Literally be the devil??) Anyway I read this like it was candy.

I. Loved. Everything. About. This. Book. Commissioned as a thriller to be written in 24 chapters, each with a cliffhanger to keep readers hooked, this story was never published after it was deemed too sensational. (Alcott often helped her family make ends meet writing thrillers under a pen name.) Seduction, murder, obsession, passion, adventure, (and more) as well as strong female characters & excellent writing—this story has it all. Excellent. ⬇️

TracyReadsBooks Alcott was a talented writer and reading this will change everything you know about her and her books...in a good way. If you are a fan of 19th c. sensationalist fiction, this book is not to be missed. 5y

First line:

“I tell you I cannot bear it!”

And then, the remainder of the first paragraph just because...

“I shall do something desperate if this life is not changed soon. It gets worse and worse, and I often feel as if I‘d gladly sell my soul to Satan for a year of freedom.”

Enjoying this book—the story behind the story is just fascinating. Alcott traveled to Europe as the companion of a wealthy young women, the only way she could afford to go. She quit halfway through, couldn‘t handle the girl, & returned home where she was commissioned to write a pulp story, she often wrote thrillers & pulp fiction to make ends meet. Much of this story was inspired by her trip but it was deemed too scandalous & never published. ⬇️

TracyReadsBooks Fast forward to the 1990s when the principal of a private school found the original text (another long story) and voila, the world gets to see and read this fantastic gothic confection. Really a fun read. 5y

I❤️#bookmail!!! The tagged book because as soon as I heard it was a thing, I knew I had to read it! The author of The Mercies has published several MG books, including The Girl of Ink & Stars which was nominated for several awards, & I wanted to read more by her. Kingdom Keepers because kids running around Disney World fighting villains, paperback edition of In Other Lands because I❤️the book & all the snark, & Star Wars for my son just because.

ElaineR What is an MG book? 5y
TracyReadsBooks @ElaineR MG stands for middle grade—so generally geared towards readers between the ages of 8 and 12. 5y
ElaineR Thanks :-) 5y

Hour 18 of the #24in48readathon and I wish I'd waited to post my previous post! 😅 It would've been perfect for this challenge. The book I picked doesn't count for the #hour18challenge but here's why I chose it. I've ashamedly been very judgy of romance novels in the past. I'd like to think I'm a better reader than I was. I picked up the paperback in my picture thinking it was a romance novel and used to hide and read it. See Comments⬇️

biblio_ginger I even got made fun of for reading it because some dummy was book cover shaming me. ? I should say I was maybe 13 when I first read it. Anyway I LOVED this book and even when I found a pretty hardback I had to keep the original"scandalous" paperback. #endbookshaming 5y
Sunraven #endbookshaming should absolutely be a thing. Maybe we should do a “shamed/shameful-seeming books” challenge. 😆 5y
biblio_ginger @Sunraven absolutely! That would be awesome! I feel bad for not being more romance friendly in the past. 😔 5y
See All 6 Comments
Sunraven I feel somewhat the same way, though I don‘t feel baaaaaad per say. 😉 I know I was doing my best with the information and circumstances I had, but I generally feel that judgeyness is not the ideal approach to anything. 5y
biblio_ginger @Sunraven that's a great way of looking at it! ☺️ 5y
Sunraven I hope so, since it took a lot of effort to get here. 😆 5y

Excited for this. Suspense/thriller by the author of Little Women, too “sensational” to be published in her lifetime.

I loved reading this book! Louisa May Alcott was ahead of her time writing this novel, it's a shame that it wasn't published during her lifetime. This book tells the story of Rosamond Vivian and her unfortunate time being stalked by her former lover, Philip Tempest. It was very gripping and I just had to know how it ended! Check this book out if you haven't yet!! 😄

CocoReads I read this several years ago and thought the same thing. I couldn't put it down! 7y

I'm at 200 followers so I want to introduce myself to the new folks. My name is Sarah and I live in Texas. My Goodreads goal for 2017 is 200 books and I'm doing the #readharderchallenge. I'm leaving for my Colorado Trail #thruhike in three days. 😱 It's 500 miles from Denver to Durango. I'm a cat mom and a crazy plant lady. Feel free to introduce yourself in the comments. Where are you from? Any adventures planned or already taken this summer?

Shemac77 That's amazing! Have fun on the trail! 7y
valeriegeary Nice!! Have fun! 7y
argeorge hi! I just attempted a thru-hike of the AT - I made it halfway (about 1100 miles) before I came home to take care of my grandma. good luck on your trek!! 7y

Day17 #MayBookFlowers #obsession I should read the prompts for the photo challenges ahead of time because most of my books for today's #LondonCalling theme for #RockinMay deal with obsession.👀 😆I decided to go with classics I've read where obsession/obsessive characters play a role. I am sure I am leaving some out but these 6 books definitely came to my mind immediately-full of of dark obsessive love, greed, hate, and/or other strong emotions.🖤

LeahBergen I've loved them all! 😄 8y
