Ever since I was a kid, I have been in love with Greek mythology. I don’t know why they appealed to me so much - whether it was the magic, the daring heroes (and it was almost always heroes, not heroines) or just the idea that the world was way older than myself. I remember … Continue reading Best Books Inspired by Greek Mythology

The Bromance Book Club by Lyssa Kay Adams
Real men read romance! There I said it. No going back. A year ago I wouldn’t have made such a bold statement, but Cheryl and her BFotB (Best Friend of the Blog) opened my eyes and I’ve now read a number of romance books. To be honest, I felt like I was dared into doing … Continue reading The Bromance Book Club by Lyssa Kay Adams
Bookish Travels: Delaware 2021
Camping. Yes, camping. I must say that for the entire amount of years I have been on this Earth, I had never been camping. Sleeping in a tent, cooking over an open flame, no bathrooms, I mean, come on - that’s definitely not me. But sometimes, you’ll catch me in a mood to try something … Continue reading Bookish Travels: Delaware 2021
An ode to… the Cursebreakers series
So strap in everybody because the last book in Brigid Kemmerer’s Cursebreakers series was just released and I just finished it. As you may expect - this is me - I. Have. Opinions. Before we get to that, if you haven’t discovered Brigid Kemmerer, you should. I have liked every book of hers I’ve read … Continue reading An ode to… the Cursebreakers series
The Jane Austen Experience
So, did you read my review last week about Ladies of the House by Lauren Edmondson? Well, you should (and I'm not like biased or anything.) Did you run out and order it like I did? OK, good. So while you're waiting for it to be released or (if you're reading this AFTER February 2021) … Continue reading The Jane Austen Experience
Miracles and Menorahs by Stacey Agdern
I purchased Miracles and Menorahs by Stacey Agdern a few months ago in preparation for a Hanukkah celebration that I knew would look so different from years past. I was so excited to have a holiday novel that honored Hanukkah that I saved it to read during the eight nights of the holiday. I’m so … Continue reading Miracles and Menorahs by Stacey Agdern
Looking back at 2020
So it's that time of year. The time when everyone tends to take stock of what they have accomplished in the past year. While many people make New Year's Resolutions, I have always avoided the practice. I tend to find that making those resolutions means I am setting myself up for failure. Instead, I like … Continue reading Looking back at 2020
An ode to… Kerri Maniscalco
So I’ll be the first to admit that I came to Kerri Maniscalco later than many, many others. See, I have this prejudice against James Patterson (I mean - unputdownable IS NOT A WORD!!! AAAAH) and his imprint publishes Maniscalco’s books (well, it did, but now she'll be published elsewhere). I know I shouldn’t judge … Continue reading An ode to… Kerri Maniscalco
Looking forward to 2021
It’s that time of year again. The time of year where I get reflective about the year’s past (although is anyone really looking back at 2020 with anything other than disappointment, anger, and contempt?) and I start getting hopeful and excited about the year to come. Last year at this time, I hadn’t written much … Continue reading Looking forward to 2021
One Person, No Vote by Carol Anderson
On this blog, I try to talk about the books that make me happy, or lacking that, books that give me a strong emotional response that I feel that I just have to talk about. I avoid sad subjects or books that I hate in order to promote a positive outlook on the world. If … Continue reading One Person, No Vote by Carol Anderson
