If you know me at all, you know that Rafael Sabatini's Scaramouche: A Romance of the French Revolution is among my very favorite books.

After taking a week off (o, life, why must you interfere with books?), we're back with a vengeance! I finished the "Troubleshooters" series, finally checked out a book a friend's been recommending since forever, and immersed myself in historical mysteries and high adventure. In short, I had a lot of fun. The Gentleman and the … Continue reading Reading Roundup #9: The Lies of Gentlemen and Thieves

Welcome to Decemberrrrrrrr! Mother Nature decided to usher in the new month with a cold snap, so I've been huddled up inside with hot soup, soft blankets, and cozy romance novels – including a couple of Christmas books! But don't worry, it didn't get too warm and fuzzy in here because I balanced it out … Continue reading Reading Roundup #3: Christmas With the Rakes
Not feeling particularly keen to write about any of the "B" books I'd already read, I decided to pick up a book that's been on my to-read list for most of my life: Beat to Quarters by C.S. Forester. The "Hornblower Saga" is a favorite in my family – my grandfather, parents, and siblings are … Continue reading Reading the Alphabet: B is for Beat to Quarters
