Well, as you already know, I am working through the Outlander series right now, so my book reviews will be a little boring (unless you’re also into the series). Voyager (Outlander #3) by Diana Gabaldon ★★★★★ In the third book, we learn that Jamie Fraser —despite his best efforts— did not...

Dragonfly in Amber (Outlander #2) by Diana Gabaldon ★★★★★ Ok, I will say that I am biased and that you can’t come here for an honest, objective review (but when is a personal review of a book ever objective? Either you love a book or you don’t – and I...

I surprised myself and finished four – very different, I might add – books, after hardly reading anything between January and March.

This week, I am linking up with Kookyrunner and Zenaida for Tuesday Topics and we’re talking about our favorite book(s) of 2020. I didn’t read nearly as much as I had hoped last year. I had set a low-bar goal of 28 books and didn’t even hit that. I know...
