Mr. Lincoln’s Army (Army of the Potomac #1)

Mr. Lincoln's Army by Bruce Catton

September 12, 2022 by vel veeter Leave a Comment

One thing that really frames my reading of Civil War history when I was younger was how much perspective and deference was paid to the Confederate side of the story. I grew up in Virginia so this was not necessarily excusable, but understandable and of course not shocking. It was not balanced … [Read more]

Rambutan: Recipes from Sri Lanka by Cynthia Shanmugalingam

September 12, 2022 by Emmalita 4 Comments

Two things, if you like coconut milk and have access to fresh curry leaves (likely at a local Indian grocer), you need this cookbook; secondly, even if you do not like coconut milk and can’t get curry leaves to save your life, you probably still need this cookbook. Go ahead and get it because even … [Read more]

“When people are dying of thirst, they’ll drink gasoline, and it’s their right to do that.”

Something New Under the Sun by Alexandra Kleeman

September 12, 2022 by Nart 3 Comments

This book has a really strong Catch-22 vibe about it which I think should be enough to get most of you away from this review and onto getting your hands on this book. Plot: Patrick is a Serious Writer whose book dealing with the death of his father has been optioned for a movie. Understandably, … [Read more]

Horrorstor

Horrostor by Grady Hendrix

September 12, 2022 by Classic 2 Comments

This was a great little send up of not only haunted places, haunted buildings, and ghosts, it was done in a clever way by having it happen in the American version of a lesser IKEA. I ended up liking all of the characters very much and really liked the backstory on the site of the Orsk furniture … [Read more]

Garden Spells

Garden Spells by Sarah Addison Allen

September 12, 2022 by Classic Leave a Comment

Updated review: September 12, 2022 I really enjoyed this re-read. I didn't love the second book in the series as much, but this first one still gives me all the feels. Allen does such a great job of depicting the two sisters and I loved all of the people who lived in Bascom and the "gifts" so … [Read more]
