Book Lovers by Emily HenryMy rating: 5 of 5 stars This book kept popping up in my Instagram feed and who wouldn't like a book about the book world?

Review of Frontier Women: “Civilizing” the West? 1840-1880 by Julie Roy Jeffrey
Frontier Women: "Civilizing" the West? 1840-1880 by Julie Roy Jeffrey My rating: 2 of 5 stars As a historian, I could hardly make it through this book.

Review of The Quiet Gentleman by Georgette Heyer
The Quiet Gentleman by Georgette Heyer My rating: 4 of 5 stars As always I enjoy reading Georgette Heyer, as her writing reminds me of Jane Austen. This book, although not as great as The Grand Sophy, was an enjoyable read. By most accounts it is a mystery with a dollop of romance. With a… Continue reading Review of The Quiet Gentleman by Georgette Heyer
