Three Cups of Tea: One man's mission to Promote Peace... One School at a Time has taken me about three years to read. It was my toilet book and for a very long time, I would look at it feel utterly intimidated by it, so I would read and re-read the first chapter or two.… Continue reading Review: Three Cups of Tea

Review: The Belgariad
My brother gave me these books by David Eddings when I was in middle school and they are an old favorite. With everything going on in the world, I have been struggling to read. This is breaking my heart, but it's true. My brain just can't process new things from books right now. New worlds… Continue reading Review: The Belgariad
Review: Qualityland
https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/51pVDZTQzwL.SX329_BO1,204,203,200.jpg https://www.amazon.com/Qualityland-Marc-Uwe-Kling/dp/1538732963 Qualityland was originally published in German, but the English edition came out in January 2020. And I picked it up as an audiobook for my commute. My initial impression is dammmn. It is definitely a book addressing issues of the day. Some of the references are already dated or will be within just a… Continue reading Review: Qualityland
Review: The Screwtape Letters
I had not read this since high school. At the time I was deep in Southern Christian Culture (I need to post more about this sometime). I also was just young (duh, right?). When I read it then I thought it was dense and laborious. Now, with more life experience and political experience (not just… Continue reading Review: The Screwtape Letters
Review: Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell
I almost don’t want to review this book because I feel like I need to read it again to do it justice. Part of this is because my sister told me she enjoyed it the most the third time she read it. I also listened to it (since the end of Anna, this has been… Continue reading Review: Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell
2019 Resolution Review
I set myself the goal of just 12 books this year. I had 15 to choose from. I ended up completing 7. I'm disappointed in myself for the most part, but you know my life was just a little crazy this year (I totally blame having a kid for throwing me off my game). I… Continue reading 2019 Resolution Review
Review: Anna Karenina
The TL;DR review for this book (since this is such a damn long book): I wouldn't have minded an abridged version. That is the first time in my life I have read a book and wished for the abridged version. Ok, maybe I would have liked one for Prince of Tides too, but I had… Continue reading Review: Anna Karenina

Completed: FrankensteinThe Bell JarMy Sister's Keeper The Phantom Tollbooth The Great Gatsby Wuthering… Continue reading Reading: 2019 Resolution Nov. Edition
Review: Elemental Mysteries
I was not expecting this series, A Hidden Fire, This Same Earth, The Force of Wind, and A Fall of Water to keep me engaged, but they did. Granted, the first one I enjoyed the most. Then there was a bit of "damnit, I don't like leaving books unfinished." This series is vampiric romance. Which… Continue reading Review: Elemental Mysteries
Review: Wuthering Heights
I do not understand the cult-love of Wuthering Heights. I can understand why it is chosen by high school English teachers across the country (globe?). It is solidly written with enough twists and turns to introduce students to early-19th century literature. It is NOT the best writing of the era. It is however possibly more… Continue reading Review: Wuthering Heights
