We can wear away earth and stone, if it comes to it.” Althea is indeed the water in her family’s lives. She flows and maneuvers through obstacles and around immovable objects. Her principles are fluid as […]

Magnify that times ten and you’ll have a picture of my reaction to Christina Dalcher’s dystopian debut, Vox.  There’s a new American president, one not suited for […]

To look back would be to tempt it. If she only looked forward, it would stay away. You know how sometimes there are places that feel wrong? Idlewild Hall in Vermont is one of those places. In the 1950s it was a school for troubled girls or […]

My reading was not quite so productive. I did have a 5 star winner with The Takedown, but beyond that I was stuck with hit or miss books. […]

It’s long been the standard epitaph for any ruler so decadent and foolish that they were more interested in entertaining and enriching themselves than running a country. Hhhhmmm. Current similarities aside, Margaret George decides to investigate the life of Emperor Nero […]
