I bought some books! I'm planning to read C.J. Sansom's Tudor era mysteries, the Matthew Shardlake Series. I found a good deal on the first book, Dissolution, a few weeks ago, and when I saw that my used bookstore had the next three books in the series, I snatched them up. Sovereign by C.J. SansomDark … Continue reading Book Haul: 10/15/2020

Book Haul, via Iceland
I don't buy many souvenirs when I travel. My photographs serve that purpose well enough for me, and I pack so lightly that I don't have room for extra things. But I will seek out bookstores wherever I go and buy myself a book or two, and I try to find books that relate to … Continue reading Book Haul, via Iceland

I'm looking forward to cooler days and the chance to go outside more often without worrying about melting. Summer is definitely not my … Continue reading July Summary and August Preview
