We Attempted the #24in48 Readathon

We did it! Just kidding. Reading 24 hours in one weekend is a challenge. Props to those who read 24+ hours during the 24in48 Readathon! My grand total: I ended up reading a mix of print and audio for 13.5 hours. Audiobooks are a great way to get some “reading” in while doing other chores around […]

She brings together believable historical fiction, with just a small element of magic, to once again create a world with just a little extra wonder. Fans of The Watchmaker of Filigree Street will not be disappointed in this […]

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo by Stieg Larsson is a dark read, parading under the guise of popular culture. Which, perhaps, is appropriate, given its underlying themes. Larsson takes a hard look at the historical and current climate of assault on females in Sweden, but captures it in the context of a mystery thriller. The […]

The Fall of Giants

The Fall of Giants by Ken Follet is an epic journey through the Great War. Fans of historical fiction will need to read this book one of The Century Trilogy as a right of passage. The Fall of Giants and The Century Trilogy is an incredible, admirable undertaking, though fans of Ken Follet would expect […]
