Just finished Anne Perry's Christmas novel. It's the fifth in her series. This one is set in Ireland.

Just started Laura Levine's mystery. I was looking for Jenna Levine's books, since I met Jenna at the Southern Festival of Books in Nashville last fall...but this looked good!

I just started out with this book called Summer Sons, it's my very first supernatural horror gay novel, so I'm super excited about it.

Since it's January and my favourite author/philosopher Simone de Beauvoir was born in January, I'm going to re-read "The Ethics of Ambiguity'. I read this when I was in my 20's and remember basing so much of my ideology on this, I want to read this again and see where I'm at.

^ How do you get to Bornholm, anyway? It looks so lonely on the map.

I am getting fussier with my reading. I started Christmas in Peachtree Bluff by Kristy Woodson Harding, thinking I'd enjoy a tale of a Southern holiday. I found it preposterous, with characters and situations I didn't believe. It was like everything I hate about Danuelle Steel.

i stopped reading and have already returned it to the library. Not recommended.

If you want to look at the world differently, you should consider reading this book.

I read that book this past December and while I mostly agree with his premise I feel the flaw in his reasoning is that he believes humans are rational beings and as such will do the rational thing. The reality is that humans are rational and emotional and when the book was written (2016) when it comes to trade they were rational but today it’s emotion that has taken over so while I agree with the author’s worldview unlike him I see it happening eventually not initially as he suggests.

Adolf Hitler: My Part in His Downfall - Spike Milligan

 

[Unicornia]

 

[FrodoTX]

The Italian Renaissance is my favorite historical period. But I am finding this book to be interesting, following the Italian Renaissance up into Northern Europe. (I just learned the French chateaus along the Loire are French Medieval mixed with Italian Renaissance. Duh, now I see it)

 

[Red Storm]

THE NIGHT CIRCUS by: Erin Morgenstern

To me, a variation of SOMETHING WICKED THIS WAY COMES by: Ray Bradbury.

I am starting to read this one soon
