Read Reading Still reading We Keep the Dead Close: A Murder at Harvard and a Half Century of Silence by Becky Cooper. Engrossing, yes, but intense too. I was working on a nonfiction work about a murdered woman and it gets too much into my head. I get rather depressed every time I work on […]

Ho-Ho-Ho Readathon 2020
Hosted by Caffeinated Reviewer! I’m in a little reading slump and looking to jazz things up. I haven’t done the Ho-Ho-Ho Readathon in quite a while; maybe this will spark some seasonal feelings. *glares at the 90F temperatures* Now, I can’t go too far from my wheelhouse. I’ll be reading (maybe) some Christmas ghost stories: […]

Julie @ Julz Reads is hosting week 2: This week, pair up a nonfiction book with a fiction title. It can be a “If you loved this book, read this!” or just two titles that you think would go well together. Maybe it’s a historical novel and you’d like to get the real history by […]

Reading I’ve had a hard time getting into any reading this week. I guess I’m mostly reading Edison’s Eve: A Magical History of the Quest for Mechanical Life by Gaby Wood. Alas, there’s a lot philosophy going on in this book, which I find a bit tedious. Read “Mr. Dark’s Carnival” by Glen Hirshberg – […]

{Book} The Parasite
The Parasite by Arthur Conan Doyle Mesmerism (or animal magnetism, or hypnosis) was quite the thing during the 19th century as scientists wildly conjecture about what was within its bounds of possibility. Writers of fiction took the chance to speculate as well. In fact, I reviewed an anthology of hypnosis-based crime stories just last century […]
