Two š„ FIERY FAVORITEš„Ā reads in a row!!! Which is a rarity for me, for sure. We had a snow day here in Maryland yesterday and so I was able to finish this one off, which I was very excited about because I had just picked up the third installment in this series on Tuesday.

From Here to Eternity: Traveling the World to Find the Good Death by Caitlin Doughty (With Spoilers?)
So, seeing this image on my computer definitely does not do this cover the justice it deserves. I actually bought this as a hardcover, because that's what I do with all of the books that I read for the various book clubs that I'm in, and let me tell you: my husband and I came … Continue reading From Here to Eternity: Traveling the World to Find the Good Death by Caitlin Doughty (With Spoilers?)

I know, for us #booknerds it's always so hard to narrow it down. But I pitched … Continue reading A Tree Grows in Brooklyn by Betty Smith
A Murder in Time by Julie McElwain
My first though when constructing this review was that I read two books back to back that have almost identical covers. (See Exile for Dreamers by Kathleen Baldwin)Ā I think I have a type. I would probably believe that more if I picked books for my TBR list based off of their covers, but I do … Continue reading A Murder in Time by Julie McElwain
Exile for Dreamers by Kathleen Baldwin
Alright, so I read the first book in this series way back before I started this blog, and I LOVED it! So much so that I specifically requested that my local library buy the second and third books in the series since they only had the first. Well, lo and behold, a couple of days … Continue reading Exile for Dreamers by Kathleen Baldwin
