Once upon a time, my son said I had to read The Expanse series. I ignored him for years but took his advice in 2019 and started it. Of course, he was right, and I loved Leviathan’s Wake. I kept meaning to pick up the second book in the series, but it completely...

Book three of The Bone Season series, The Song Rising, by Samantha Shannon is memorable for several different reasons. Not only is it the first book where we move beyond London and Oxford to see other Citadels, we see Paige as the natural leader she is. We also get...

This is going to be a rambling review because I learned so much and had an absolute blast listening to this behemoth that I cannot put my thoughts into anything resembling cohesiveness. I know you won’t be surprised when I say this but history books are wrong,...

Did you know there were different types of Puritans?

I like Sarah Vowell, and I think that Ms. Vowell and I would be friends in real life were we to meet. After all, I too have gone on vacation purely as an excuse to visit key historical areas and points of interest. I get her sense of humor, her dry delivery, and her...
