In this #CinderellaRetelling, the focus lies on after the happily-ever-after. It‘s been 13 years since she‘s said, “I do.” And Cinderella no longer finds her prince very charming at all… in fact, she wants him dead. As the past trickles out, this fairy tale shifts into something a bit less magical. Engaging and unique, this reminded me a bit of Sheri S. Tepper‘s BEAUTY and a touch of Catherynne M. Valente‘s novellas! A sure discussion starter!

Reggie Oooh stacked because I loved this author‘s book 40 Rooms. 2y
5feet.of.fury Pretty picture! 2y

Wow!! This audiobook hooked me in from the very start!! I couldn‘t stop listening to it! This is a fascinating and darkly horrible domestic thriller. It has more than one #ObnoxiousCharacter - and also includes someone #InHiding! While you may not want to know anyone like this, and the plot takes a few predictable turns, this highly engaging book is addictive! Great performance too and I did more than #AudioColor! #AuldLangReads #NewYearNewYou

After loving Ove but discovering that he was younger than I thought, I listened to this book with five friends from a nursing home who embark on a life of crime. They are all over 70- so I feel better about completing this prompt of #Booked2018 !! Unfortunately, the book wasn‘t as hilariously charming as I expected... but it was fun to #audiocolor in my Golden Girls coloring book while listening! 😊

JoScho Lol I knew instantly that this was Sophia‘s purse! 5y
tpixie I agree I thought Ovi was so much older then when he ended up being! 5y
TorieStorieS @JoScho 👏👏👏 Yay for my favorite Golden Girl! For St Nicholas Day, my husband got me a chia Sophia! I‘m so sorry excited to grow her hair!! 🤣🤣🤣 5y

TorieStorieS @tpixie I know!!! I listened to the audio and I nearly stopped my car when they said he was only 59!!!!🤣🤣🤣 5y
Cinfhen Congrats!!!i love how dedicated you are 🏆too bad about this book - sounds so cute! I‘ve just unstacked 😂 5y
JoScho @TorieStorieS that is very cool! 5y
TorieStorieS @Cinfhen My pleasure to help out!!! And yes, I read recently that oldest children tend to be rule followers so I had to find older MCs!! 🤣 5y
TorieStorieS @JoScho Yes!! It was a great surprise- looking forward to starting to grow it after Christmas (we host Christmas Eve so I wanted to wait till after that to set it up in case it starts out messy!) 5y
tpixie @TorieStorieS oh fun!!! 5y
tpixie @TorieStorieS me too! I wonder if people act older in the country the authors from. Or just that Ovi is crotchety?!!! 5y
TorieStorieS @tpixie Thanks! Yeah- I think Ove is just particularly crotchety!!! Even in the younger memories, that seems clear! 🤣🤣🤣 5y
tpixie @TorieStorieS 😃😆😂 5y

This my real-life book club‘s pick for October... and though it is a fast-paced read, other than the setting, it didn‘t feel all that new to me... Alice feels #Somebody‘sWatchingMe throughout her friendship with Lucy and just when she‘s done being #Haunted by her memories and has a fresh start in Tangiers, Lucy arrives once more into her life... #OctoberXFiles #BlackCatChallenge

Cinfhen I really liked this book...I guess I was just in the mood for something on the light side ~ nice drawing 6y
TorieStorieS @Cinfhen Thanks! I love to #AudioColor! I think I was just expecting more crazy.... too many other Halloween reads, I guess! 😂 I think this would make a beautiful film though! I‘m curious to see what the rest of my book club thinks! 6y
Cinfhen I agree, it would make for a beautiful film....The markets & bazaars all the colors of the streets 6y

I saved this #Audiobook for this month! And it‘s not as #Gory as some King, but certainly has some shiver-inducing moments with a book that opens as a straight mystery/thriller where the #PeopleAreStrange but turns into something even more frightening! Not my favorite of his- but a great seasonal read for #Audiocoloring! #31BookPics #BlackCatChallenge #OctoberXFiles

DivineDiana You are an artist! ❤️ 6y
Robothugs Did you color that? 6y
Cinfhen I thought that was an actual illustration🧡🙌🏻 6y

What a riveting listen!!! This kicks off my first Spooky read of October - and I couldn‘t stop listening to this one at all- I gasped out loud, startled my loved ones and could barely #AudioColor through the thrills! I‘m going to have to re-read NOS4RTU to see which of his books I like the best... it‘s a tough call between the two!!

Texreader Oh you did such a good job!! ❤️💜❤️💜 6y
TorieStorieS Thanks, @Texreader!!!!! 6y

This is my last #Booked2018 read for this quarter and I‘m so thankful that so many of you Littens had already checked the #JapaneseThriller off your list! I thoroughly enjoyed this disturbing and tightly written book! I found this to be another one that I couldn‘t just #AudioColor to but tried to listen to at every opportunity!

Cinfhen Way to go!!! I bet the audio was great!! Tagging @BarbaraTheBibliophage @4thhouseontheleft 6y
TorieStorieS It was the perfect format!! Thanks again for setting up this fun challenge, @Cinfhen @BarbaraTheBibliophage @4thhouseontheleft❣️❣️❣️ 6y
BarbaraTheBibliophage @Cinfhen Thanks for the tag! @TorieStorieS Hey, I don‘t have your choices marked for all the prompts from this season. Would you please double check your reviews and make sure you‘ve tagged the challenge and the hosts in all of them? I want to be sure we‘ve given you all the drawing entries we should. Thanks! 😍 6y
TorieStorieS @BarbaraTheBibliophage Just made a summary post! 😊 Thanks for the reminder!!! 😄 6y

My first experience with this author... and I can‘t even begin to really review this!!! I loved it- but not because of the actual fanfic part... though this feels a little SVH to me... well SVU... but still I genuinely don‘t like HP... but this is amazing, honestly... I couldn‘t just #AudioColor here- I just loved it and immediately bought everything the author ever wrote- can‘t remember the last time I did that....

Lovesbooks87 Her book Eleanor & Park was amazing. It was her first books of hers that I read and it has also made me want to read all of her books as well! 6y
TorieStorieS Oh I bought that one on Audible too... really I have all of her books there now...🤣🤣🤣 @Lovesbooks87 6y
CoffeeNBooks I thought this was a really great book! 6y

This is the first book from Amazon‘s international sale this past April that I‘ve read/listened (#AudioColor ed) to! It is a brief memoir with simple language that so matter of factly relays the hardship and horror that makes up living in #NorthKorea. I really hope there‘s a follow up...

Christine Love the flower/colors! :) 6y
TorieStorieS Thanks, @Christine !!!! ☺️☺️☺️ 6y
