I am reading Three Men in a Boat right now, it's a light humorous in certain parts from the perspective that the situations are so bizarre that it is hilarious! At the same time, I'm having difficulties while reading as to what is actually happening in the present in the story as the characters are constantly retelling stories from the past leaving me a little confused!

Currently reading Genesis by Hazel Longuet. I love historical fiction, and this is a really different one set in ancient Egypt. The Pharoah's seer is having disturbing visions. The completely different setting and magical culture pulled me right in.

I just completed Ironbark Hill by Jennie Linnane. It was an exceptional book full of description and angst. The review was submitted this morning. I will begin McDowell today and look forward to a new storyline with hopefully more entertaining description!

I am making my way through The Saxon Stories series by Bernard Cornwell, I am currently reading book 6 - Death of Kings. I've recently developed a love for historical fiction and this is a fierce and enveloping series based on the struggle between King Alfred of Wessex and the Vikings.

Currently I’m reading The Shoemaker’s Holiday by Thomas Dekker and Soul of an Indian by Charles Eastman. Both books are for two classes I’m currently taking, however, the first book (which is a play) is proving to be a bit of a slog.

I’d much rather be reading My Friend Marilyn like @mmm17!

I went through a period of time (have yet to leave it) that was (is) spent in total obsession of both Barlowe and Giger. Dammit man, give me a hug!
