I feel like giving away some ARC's (Advanced Reader's Copies). But how to chose the winners? A random draw is fun, but this sounds even better! https://t.co/xc5Azr6qAs

While it goes without saying, I like to read books about dragons, it also should not be surprising that I prefer those which are a bit off the beaten path shall we say. https://t.co/duayQxtVPL

Today’s pens combine pen and ink into a convenient vessel, ready for instant use. In Austen’s day, pen and ink were separate entities, and is was often home made. https://t.co/2RWWlEYLFi

Ths month was a bit of a divergence for me in terms of reading. Not sure exactly why, but I hit the non-fiction pretty hard. While I usually like my reading to be a light escape, this month I hit some harder topics ripe with food for thought. https://t.co/BEWoxC7BQG

This latest book has had the distinction of pulling me down quite a few research rabbit holes. This one led to quite an unusual little spot that ended up in the book after all: Ebbing and Flowing Well. https://t.co/4EImWkq0u4
