Adventure stories from around the world, the kitchen, and the written word.
A good friend of mine was in town recently and unlike normal people we didn’t go get dinner or drinks to sit and catch up on the events of life. No, we wandered around the nearest used bookstore, in this case Half Priced Books. Where despite a vain attempt at first I bough more books.
I did not finish a book over the weekend, that is partly because I have spent way to much time exploring the shelves at used bookstores – my favorite kind. This book haul is from Recycled Books in Denton, Texas. A wonderful store that you should get lost in the first chance you get. Earlier
Title: The Dresden Files: Brief Cases Author: Jim Butcher Publication Date: 2018 Publishing House: ACE One of my favorite authors is Jim Butcher. He has written the Dresden Files, Codex Alera, and The Cinder Spires; yes, I have read all of them. His most recent book is part of the Dresden Files without being the
Title: Spinning Silver Author: Naomi Novik Publication Date: 2018 Publishing House: Del Rey I absolutely loved this book, couldn’t put it down. I lost sleep reading Spinning Silver.

Title: Circe Author: Madeline Miller Publication Date: 2018 Publishing House: Bloomsbury Publishing Last week I finished both Circe and The Woman in the Window. I enjoyed them both in their own ways but of the two Circe was my favorite. Of course they are in two separate genres and I can’t really compare the two.
Title: Moonglow Author: Michael Chabon Publication Date: 2016 Publishing House: HarperCollins Publisher I did it! I finally finished Moonglow. Saying that I loved this book sounds odd considering the fact that it took me way longer to finish it than it should have. But life gets crazy and I finished it when I could. Now
So as I have said in previous posts recently I moved and I spent a large amount of time on Sunday unpacking my books. I had at least eight large boxes full of them. And was out of bookshelf space rather quickly. As I was working on the chaos my boyfriend suggested getting rid of
