Ceiling detail from Christchurch Priory

The Cloisters (2022) by Katy Hays

April 12, 2024 by drmllz 6 Comments

I am posting a picture from Christchurch Priory, Dorset, a medieval structure which actually would be a good place for a murder mystery. I’m not going to post a picture of the book cover, because the cover is beautiful and it will suck you in to buying it and you will end up throwing it across the room and denting it anyway. At least if you’re an academic. The setting is the Cloisters section of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and the narrator/protagonist is Ann, a […]

Owls are fan favorites

What an Owl Knows: The New Science of the World's Most Enigmatic Birds by Jennifer Ackerman

April 12, 2024 by KimMiE" Leave a Comment

It seems to me that even people who are lukewarm about birds get excited about owls. Whether you associate them with wisdom (thanks to their connection with the goddess Athena), stuffy know-it-all-ness (à la Winnie the Pooh’s pal), or as messengers (everything from Native American folklore to Harry Potter), you have undoubtedly encountered stories about owls in some area of your early life or education. Perhaps it’s their large, all-knowing eyes, or their stillness, or the way they swoop in almost without a sound that […]

Thank God. A sexy pirate that isn’t Jack Sparrow.

Gentle Rogue by Johanna Lindsey

April 12, 2024 by katie71483 9 Comments

I recently re-read Johanna Lindsey’s classic pirate romance, Gentle Rogue. I was curious to see how it held up since the way romances are written have changed so much since it’s original publication date. Back in the day, I’d read several of her previous novels, but this is the one that made her a must read whenever a new novel came out. I’d originally intended to include a ton of gifs from Ladyhawke in honor of the eclipse, but I didn’t get the review written […]
