What I’m Reading
While I still don’t get to read quite as much as I would like, Mil is becoming a bit more independent, which is allowing me to be able to do more things for me, including reading. I’ve been even able to finish four books in the last couple of months. Recently Finished From the Mixed-Up…
Read MoreWhat I’m Reading
Recently Finished The Shadow Land by Elisabeth KostovaThis book was an interesting read. Kostova’s ability to fuse past and present into one intricate story line made this story of communist and post-communist Bulgaria into one that I just couldn’t put down. I still think I prefer Kostova’s debut novel, The Historian, best but this book…
Read MoreThe Monk of Mokha – A Review

I was recently got some spare time to review another book, so I hopped over to NetGalley to see what was available. The cover art of Munro vs. the Coyote caught my eye immediately, so I decided to see what it was about, and since the premise looked interesting, I gave it a go. So…

This month’s Book It! post is a little late in arriving. I normally post these on the last Monday of the month, but with Mildred home now, I’ve been spending most of my spare time sleeping. And I completely forgot about getting this post up for you. However, late is better than never. And since…
