Nowadays, I go to the library to catch up on my TBR list, because I don’t have the money to buy books. But it’s not very fun to plan out all your borrowed books and I normally try to wander around and grab at least one book on impulse. The Murder of Harriet Monckton was… Read More The Murder of Harriet Monckton by Elizabeth Haynes
As Christmas approaches, I find that I want to read something cosy, like the Fairacre series by Miss Read. The next book in the series is Book 4 – Miss Clare Remembers – but for some reason, the library only has the copy where it’s bundled together with Book 8 – Emily Davis. Miss Clare… Read More Miss Clare Remembers & Emily Davis by Miss Read
I’m starting a new project! A while back, I answered a call for people interested in learning about Chinese culture and went for a couple of lectures.

I’m planning to look into… Read More The Tale of Genji by Murasaki Shikibu translated and abridged by Edward G. Seidensticker

After hearing so many good things about it, I’ve finally read The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society (being late to popular books is starting to be my thing).

Well, I know why – I was… Read More The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society by Mary Ann Shaffer and Annie Barrows

A Soupçon of Poison This is the Kat Holloway prequel and the one that I was most excited to… Read More Murder Most Historical by Ashley Gardner
I heard about this book when Wendy from Literary Feline posted about it. I love faerie stories and I’m pretty fond of historical fiction too, so this book grabbed my attention right away. When I found out that it was available from the library, I knew I was going to read it. Midnight Never Come… Read More Midnight Never Come by Marie Brennan
I loved the first book of the Kat Holloway series, so when I read about the second book over at Literary Feline, I just knew I had to read it. Luckily, the library already had the second book in ebook format and I managed to check it out immediately. Scandal Above Stairs doesn’t start with… Read More Scandal Above Stairs by Jennifer Ashley
This book was a large reason why I finally read Jane Eyre – a serial killer satire of Jane Eyre sounded amazing. The peek that Wendy at Literary Feline gave into the book intrigued me and I decided that I had to read it. Jane Steele is a big fan of Jane Eyre. However, she… Read More Jane Steele by Lyndsay Faye
