A Reading Journal
Retro Science Fiction and Fantasy has been a genre I’ve avoided since my teens. I read buckets of it as a young kid, it was all that was available to me in the library and so naturally I ate it like candy at the time. As I got older I got into the groove of... Continue Reading →
   To Marry an English Lord is presented as a popular history style book that talks about the period of time during the Late Victorian era into the Edwardian era when it became common practice for rich Americans to attempt to net a title through marriage. My copy in particular had a large printed emblem that... Continue Reading →

Best Books of 2018 I generally don’t like making these lists but I thought I’d do a short one for the stuff that sticks in my mind. My husband in particular was interested in what I enjoyed most this year, and got me thinking about it anyway so I thought I’d go through and... Continue Reading →
So Bout of Books is happening again this next week and I figured, why not! I have a few books left on my 'recently acquired' list I want to read and I can certainly pick out a few books on my shelf. I don't know that I'll have time or be able to do the... Continue Reading →

The used books though, that’s where I hit a hole. These are usually things I’ve heard about or sound interesting or I’ve already read.... Continue Reading →
So I’ve definitely need the happy endings you will always find in a romance novel (and yes, I’m a member of that camp, it’s not romance if it’s not a happy ending). So I’ve got a few that I’ve read that I thought I’d highlight and talk about. As far as series... Continue Reading →
A quiet couple of weeks have come and gone, due to holiday obligations and work issues I haven’t been able to upload any posts. I have a few written, but not edited and posted, those should see the light of day soon. I thought I’d do an update for the weekend! With the way the... Continue Reading →
So I’m going to be 100% with you here. I really just want to talk about a few stand out books from the past two months. I can’t think of good theme to link them all into besides the theme of ‘Good God Sarah Loved These’ so that is what we’re going to use.    ... Continue Reading →
