Hello my bookish loves! Today’s review is for British Murder, a cozy mystery compilation by writer Leslie Meier. I’ll be honest, when I requested the ARC (yes, this was an ARC provided to me), I had noooo idea this was a compilation… Read More ›

Answer in the Negative, Henrietta Hamilton
Hello my loves! I can’t believe we’re here. Here! I have posted consistently. I have actually been posting weekly! Who am I?! Whoever I am, I am back with a review for Answer in the Negative by Henriette Hamilton. Originally published in 1959,… Read More ›
Buried In Black, J.T. Patten

The Ape That Understood the Universe: How The Mind and Culture Evolve, Steve Stewart-Williams
Let me start by saying that this book was even further out of my average reading zone than I expected. Don’t get me wrong, I chose it specifically because it was out of the realm of what I would normally… Read More ›
