As a writer of fantasy, I like to read it too. With one of my Christmas gift cards, I bought the entire Crimson Shadow series by R. A. Salvatore (on sale, of course). I really enjoyed another book by him (The Highwayman), so I decided it wasn’t much of a risk to buy the entire

I almost feel bad saying this book was entertaining. A couple of bad things happen to a couple of kids. But their uncle (I find it beside the point that he happens to be gay) comes to the rescue and helps them through a difficult time. I enjoy books about family and relationships, and this

I recently spent an afternoon at the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art in Kansas City. First, I walked through my favorite French Impressionist gallery, which I rediscover each time I go to the Nelson.

Kept seeing this one on social media, so decided to give it a read. I enjoyed the topic of a woman making her way in the world of science and academia. Unpopular opinion: I did not love the unexpected interspersing of the dog’s point of view into the story. But I liked the characters, and

One of my book clubs has chosen Appetite for America: How Visionary Businessman Fred Harvey Built a Railroad Hospitality Empire That Civilized the Wild West, by Stephen Fried, as our next book. As a writer of historical fiction about the American West, I’ve done some research into the era covered by this book. But Fried’s

This was my first Colleen Hoover book. I’d seen many recommendations, and overall it did not disappoint. It was a little crass in some places, and there were quite a few convenient coincidences.
