Ruta Sepetys is fast becoming one of my go to authors for a solid read. Her latest book, Out Of The Easy, is another historical fiction but set in 1950s New Orleans instead of 1941 Lithuania. Despite the different settings, I found Sepetys’ latest book to have the same emotional draw as Between Shades Of Gray. I […]
Katherine | Anya Seton | Audiobook Review
May 31, 2013
Why Did I Read This Book?: Once upon a time before book blogging I used to read super long adult historical fiction books like they were going out of style, even as a blogger I still liked those sort of books, but do not get as many of them read. Anyways, I joined this group […]

The Iron King | Maurice Druon | Book Review
April 23, 2013

I love the political machinations and scandal within the plot of Game Of Thrones. Seeing Martin proclaim The Iron King to be the original Game Of Thrones definitely had my attention, as I am interested in reading more […]
