I love to read and my blog is my way of sharing my enthusiasm with the world. I love medieval history and my favorite genre is historical fiction, thus the name.

  • 2009 Reading

    Posted on Thursday December 31st, 2009 at 17:15 in life, reading wrap-up

    My reading has slowed way, way down this month.  I’ve only read 11 books, roughly half of what I’ve read each previous month this year.  I’ve had fairly frequent distraction in the form of a husband who has had about half the mont...

  • Happy Thanksgiving!

    Posted on Thursday November 26th, 2009 at 05:47 in life

    To all my American visitors, happy Thanksgiving!  This is my second year not celebrating.  I was tempted to go all out myself, but to be honest, I may be the only American that’s not crazy about Thanksgiving food, and my family is too far awa...

  • A Quick Interruption

    Posted on Tuesday November 17th, 2009 at 07:17 in life

    I just wanted to let everyone know that I’m currently without internet at home and it looks like I’ll be that way for another two weeks.  I have enough reviews to keep going and I can get on at my MIL’s, as I am doing right now, bu...

  • Monthly Reading Wrap-Up: October 2009

    Posted on Saturday October 31st, 2009 at 04:04 in life, reading wrap-up

    October has been quite a month.  I was at first very busy, preparing for the wedding and my parents’ visit.  I didn’t read anything for nine days, probably the longest I’ve gone without finishing a book in the past two years.  Af...

  • It’s My Wedding Day!

    Posted on Saturday October 17th, 2009 at 01:45 in life

    Years of distance, all worth it in the end.  We knew it from the beginning!...

  • September 2009 Reading Wrap-up

    Posted on Saturday October 3rd, 2009 at 03:44 in life, reading wrap-up

    September was another great reading month over here.  I completed 28 books, 20 of which reduced my TBR pile.  I’m at 368 TBRs and before the end of October, I’d like to be at 350.  We’ll see how that works!  I’ve now compl...

  • August 2009 Wrap-Up Post

    Posted on Tuesday September 1st, 2009 at 14:02 in life, reading wrap-up

    I cannot believe it’s September!  This is a terrifying month for me.  My dissertation is due and I’m actually moving, not just talking about and dreading it.  Most of the wedding planning is now under control at least, barring my immig...

  • On Not Blogging

    Posted on Tuesday July 28th, 2009 at 03:57 in life

    It’s probably been about a week or so since I sat down and thought about a blog post.  This is very odd for me as I’m normally antsy about not having much non-review content around here.  I know I post a ridiculous number of reviews (an...

  • A Familiar Story

    Posted on Friday July 3rd, 2009 at 02:25 in life

    We are having internet trouble.  I may not be online much or at all until Monday afternoon because it keeps going out on me.  I have scheduled a review for every day and I’m crossing my fingers that it will work for longer than half an hour t...

  • Expanding My Reading with Fantasy

    Posted on Tuesday June 23rd, 2009 at 13:21 in life

    As we learned in last week’s Booking Through Thursday, today is Fantasy and Science Fiction Writers day. When I was fifteen, I had trouble finding new books to read.  I was too old for YA fiction, or so I thought, but my introduction into adul...
