What I Read In 2023: mysteries
Hey everyone! Welcome back to the blog. I never read mysteries until Jehosheba introduced me to Agatha Christie. I fell in love with Hercule Poriot’s conceited, foreign, egg-shaped little self and his clueless partner, Hastings. The endings of (most of) the mysteries were quite a shock. Agatha Christie was my most-read author of 2023. Stats … Continue reading What I Read In 2023: mysteries
What I Read In 2023: Classics
The classics are one of my favorite things to read. Jehosheba discovered them when she was twelve (and read Les Miserables) and introduced me to them. At first, I thought they were boring and long, but as I continued to read them, I fell in love. I read so many amazing classics in 2023. Which … Continue reading What I Read In 2023: Classics

becoming Mrs. Lewis: Book Review
Becoming Mrs. Lewis by Patti Callahan is a historical fiction novel that tells the story of Joy Davidman and how she fell in love with and married the great C.S. Lewis. I don’t love historical fiction in general, but even less when it focuses on specific historical people. It’s so easy for the authors to preach … Continue reading becoming Mrs. Lewis: Book Review
The Phantom of the Opera Book Review
I’m not sure what to think of this book, to be honest. It is an intriguing tale but it lacks the depth and moral questions that most other classics have. It is a story of darkness, fear, love and manipulation. I both love it and hate it. (Just a note, this whole review is filled … Continue reading The Phantom of the Opera Book Review
