A View of the Harbour -- Elizabeth Taylor (no, not the actress!)

I'm revisiting books I read in college. Just before picking up this book again, I had reread (for the hundredth time) Virginia Woolf's "Mrs. Dalloway"  --  only to say, I find similarities in the wonderful humor of these authors! 

In "A View of the Harbour," all the characters have ideas about one an...

Behind the Crimson Curtain

I’m not usually one for high fantasy but I love this one with its theater centric plot and incredibly complicated and nuanced characters

Hannah Woolmer
The Instrumentalist - Harriet Constable

As a film composer trained in classical violin I have always been obsessed with the story of the foundling girls in Venice that Vivaldi wrote The Four Seasons for. They were abandoned children raised by the church who were trained to be virtuoso musicians.

This book is a historical fiction about them...

Annie Marie Burdeos

Last book I read was The Book of Elsewhere a one off by China Mieville who played in the sandbox of Keanu Reeves' imagination. The novel crosses multiple genres among them science fiction, military th...

Gutted!!

I love group pages like this but can't join in, only watch from the sidelines... (sigh!). I write books therefore don't read as many as I'd like due to time and fear of copyright/idea stealing. Keep reading folks, a good book is good for the soul. A big thank you from Authors ✨️ .... still jealous! ✨️

Eragon

I started reading Eragon because my son was reading it and he wanted to discuss it with me. I really did not want to read it on account that I have so many other books to get through, but I'm finding it really well done, and I actually like the author's writing style more than I like most other fant...

From Blood & Ash by Jennifer L. Armentrout

I just finished Jennifer L. Armentrout's From Blood and Ash, then started the sequel A Kingdom of Flesh and Fire. This series has been recommended to me a lot over the last few years and I know that its popularity led to a spin-off prequel book series that is concluding with a final book this fall,...
