Have you read From Blood and Ash by Jennifer Armentrout? I waited and waited to read it, not sure why. But I loved it so much, I promptly checked out A Kingdom of Flesh and Fire from Libby. Then I loved it so much I wanted to cry that Libby didn’t offer A Crown ofContinueContinue reading “The Maiden and her Guard”

Reading Challenges
I loved when ATY did the prompts for the Wedding theme; something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue. That time I went with Pride and Prejudice (old), Pride and Prejudice and Mistletoe (borrowed), Unmarriageable (blue) and Pride (new). This year the prompts are 3 books relating to past, present and future. I played aroundContinueContinue reading “Reading Challenges”

The Great American Read
I am interested in doing a comparison of the Great American Read list and the 100 books to read in a lifetime list (of which I have less than half left).

Reading Historical Fiction
It’s interesting. I choose books to fulfill a category in the challenges I am following. I don’t choose them because they are about World War II. But I have ended up reading several of those. They have also taught me a lot about the war that they don’t teach you in school and even thoughContinueContinue reading “Reading Historical Fiction”
Why I Read
A cheaper form of entertainment. Sure. If you are getting the books for free. I have to keep reminding myself to go to the library. I have always loved to read.
