The Grand Mughal of Islam was from holy Mecca bound,

And all on board, a treasure hoard, worth two hundred million pounds,

So Avery and comrades the Portsmouth and the Pearl,

With stripped down masts, their ships were fast,

And they chased them ‘round the world,

A bounder, rake, a cad, a knave was he,

Sail with long Ben Avery

The Ghost of Marlow House: Can ghost stories be cozy?

I started my October TBR list thinking it was going to be all spooky thrillers, and creepy ghost stories. Then The Ghost of Marlow House popped up, and I had to ask myself: Can ghost stories be cozy?

Every time I sit down to write the review, I dive right back in.

The Books That Changed My Life edited by Bethanne Patrick: A Review

#nonfictionSunday Spend A Sunday with 'The Book's That Changed My Life' - It'll be awesome!

Any bibliophile has a deep curiosity about the books that have had a profound resonance with other readers. We know so well the books that became part of the essence of who we are. When I saw this as a Goodreads GiveawayI couldn’t hit the enter button fast enough. A hundred people telling me the book that shaped who they would become next? What about this doesn’t beg to be read. So thank you very…
