In the Skin of a Lion

Another book finished! It feels so good to have the feeling of accomplishment when the year has had a poor start in terms of reading and things going on in the world. In the Skin of a Lion was a joy to read, I will start with that. For those who are new to following, […]

The Elizabeth Omnibus

Good morning, everyone! It took me about five months to read this three-books-in-one volume, what with the holidays and what have you, but it is over and I am so glad to be done with it. The Elizabeth Omnibus covers three books by Irwin about the beginning of the Elizabethan era, starting with the death […]

Ben-Hur

This, like the book I am reading now, took way too long to get through. I honestly gave up halfway through and went through an art phase before coming back and reading the second half. By doing that, I did not make myself miserable for reading a book that was heavy in language and description. […]

The Screwtape Letters, Lord Foulgrin’s Letters & The Ishbane Conspiracy

When I was originally on Tumblr, I did these two as separate reviews, so I thought for WordPress I would bring the two together. “The more often he feels without acting, the less he will be able ever to act, and, in the long run, the less he will be able to feel.” –The Screwtape […]

The Shining

A few days ago, my husband and I finally finished reading The Shining after three-four months of being hyped up, seeing Doctor Strange, getting bored, working forever, then getting re-hyped because we wanted to watch the movie version once we were done, which I will say right now is garbage compared to what we read. […]

The Great Gatsby

This is a great book, I will start with that; this is such a tragic drama where no one is innocent and no one is guilty; it can all be blamed on human nature. You hear a lot about these kind of people: the ones that go to such great heights to find the person […]

The Phantom of the Opera

This was a wonderful read, even without knowledge of the movie; I think I would have rather picked the book over it. I love the tragic story of it all, especially if you were to read and relate to what is happening in the world now. At this time it would have been completely politically […]

The Little Blue Kite

Happy New Year everyone! I hope everyone had a heartwarming and safe Christmas and New Year. I hope you all make this year a year where doors open for you to run through without fear, but with love, compassion, and endless joy, I thought I would start off this year with The Little Blue Kite, […]

Memoirs of a Geisha

You may have heard of the movie version [I thought it blew], so the book will be pretty familiar [??]. I read this out loud with my husband and he also said this was a good book as well. I enjoyed it. It was humorous, dramatic, pretty realistic, and well written. it had a decent […]

Mary Called Magdalene

I remember reading this in the summer and enjoying it very much. I had read a different book on the same subject where it went with the theory that Jesus and her secretly married and had a child like they believe in The Da Vinci Code. This is not that, ha-ha. This is much more soft […]
