My husband and I live in New Albany, Indiana, which is directly across the river from downtown Louisville. It would take us about fifteen minutes to reach the Federal Courthouse in Louisville, from which we’re awaiting … Continue reading As We Wait…

Book Review: Brave(ish) by Margaret Davis Ghielmetti
Note: I received a free copy of this book from Net Galley and am leaving this review voluntarily. When I began Brave(ish) by Margaret Davis Ghielmetti, I wasn’t entirely sure what to expect. My favorite genre has long been biographies/memoirs, but a book about traveling the world? That was a new one for me. Thankfully, … Continue reading Book Review: Brave(ish) by Margaret Davis Ghielmetti

Lifetime Reading List: The Handmaid’s Tale by Margaret Atwood

Book Review: Above All Others by G. Lawrence
When I open the “Library” tab on my Kindle and see the abundance of books by Gemma Lawrence, I’m immediately taken to my happy place. Of the hundreds of books (both print and digital) I own, I don’t think I have so many by any one author. Lawrence’s attention to detail and well-researched historical fiction … Continue reading Book Review: Above All Others by G. Lawrence
Book Review: The Lady Anne by Gemma Lawrence
Gemma Lawrence has done it again! The Lady Anne (Book Two of its series) was a fantastic page-turner. I actually found myself neglecting my professional duties to read this book – as is often the case when I have a new book by this author! Following Anne Boleyn upon her return to England, this book … Continue reading Book Review: The Lady Anne by Gemma Lawrence
