Before the Crown Broke Her
Most people grow up knowing the Queen of Hearts as one thing: a villain. She storms across the pages of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, shrieking her famous command–“Off with their heads!”-while terrifying everyone around her. In the surreal chaos of Wonderland, she’s explosive, irrational, and almost cartoonishly cruel. Readers rarely question her motives because the story itself never asks them to. The Queen exists as part of the nonsense.

Seeking Justice
The arrest of three Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office employees on domestic‑violence charges within a matter of days has ignited widespread calls for justice, harsh punishment, and systemic accountability across the Tampa Bay region. To many community members and advocacy groups, the cases represent far more than isolated incidents; they are seen as a direct challenge to public trust, the integrity of law enforcement, and the moral authority of those sworn to protect victims of violence rather than become its perpetrators.

Rousseau's Last Tour. Top Story - March 2026.
This was a strange comfort to me these last few weeks. Actually, more than a few weeks. I began this book at the beginning of the year, and put it aside as I realized that I was reading not a fictional account of a life, but the very true thoughts of a writer who has put his fingerprints over much of what I know of French thought in that era.

The Novel That Changed a Life
Several years ago a young accountant named Rachel joined a small community book club in Seattle because she felt her life had become trapped in a predictable routine that left little room for creativity, curiosity, or meaningful connection with the world beyond spreadsheets and financial reports. Every morning she woke up early, traveled through crowded streets to reach her office building, spent the entire day reviewing numbers and preparing reports for companies she had never personally met, and returned home in the evening feeling strangely empty despite the stability of her career.

The Book That Knew Too Much
The small neighborhood book club had been meeting every Thursday evening for nearly five years inside a cozy corner room of the historic New York Public Library branch in New York City, where a group of eight regular members gathered to discuss novels, share opinions, and escape the stress of everyday life through the pages of carefully chosen books that each person recommended in turn. The group included teachers, office workers, a retired journalist, and a young college student who had joined only a few months earlier, yet despite their different backgrounds they had developed a warm tradition of thoughtful discussion and lively debates about literature.
