I try to read a little bit every day, and I sometimes take the long way home just to keep listening to my audiobook in the car. I love historical fiction, mysteries, and the classics. I also love to travel, so I enjoy reading about distant times and foreign countries. Give me a good book, and you won't see me for days!

    HI Jane
    I see you are reading The Queen's Lover. I hope to read it this year and will be curious to hear your thoughts on it when you are done. Hope all is well

    Hello:

    Looks like another beautiful summer day here.

    Dracula: Hearts of Stone


    We start with a shiny new pot of boiling water and add too many evil vampires, and not enough of the good biters. Toss in one suicidal Dracula; add a cup of mayhem and a dash of romance. Oh yes, and a pinch of mirth. Stir lovingly and you have a novel by A. J. Gallant. If it sounds like the recipe for you then you must read Dracula: Hearts of Stone.
    “I found myself "hearing" the characters in this story. They are well written and I found myself able to leave the normal world behind. I deeply enjoyed the humor and the addition of P. Anthony, that was a touch I did not expect at all. Dracula in this book is seen in a different light, not a true creature of evil at all. I do suggest that you read this book as it is very good and enjoyable.”
    Timothy Haas

    Hello :)

    I really enjoyed browsing your shelf. I don't know a lot of people who love historical books so it was a real treat for me to find so many books to add to my shelf! Thanks!

    Hello Jane. Just browsing your site. I just finished reading the Alchemist and I posted my review that I was not impressed. I was looking through the other posted reviews, and I noticed that you too were not real impressed. This caused me to check out your site. I see we have 31 books in common. We both liked Pride & Prejudice and Dune, but we don’t seem to agree on much else. I gave 5 stars to War & Peace and The Godfather, but you only gave them 4 stars. We both gave 4 stars to Cyrano de Bergerac. In any case, I invite you to check out my site and come back at me with your comments. Cheers.
