    Discovering Hidden Gems from a Restless Reader

    July 21, 2017 /

    Discovering Hidden Gems It’s no secret that I have a ridiculous book collection. I am not alone in this as I encounter people all the time who have tons of books. I am also not alone in the fact that my “to be read” pile is much larger than my “already read” pile. In fact, at any given time I have half a dozen or more books that I have begun and put down for whatever reason.

Medieval Underpants and Other Blunders by Susanne Alleyn – I’m in the process of doing some research for a novel I will be writing this year, maybe, and this book seemed like a good idea. Although I have just started reading it, I am recommending it for anyone who is considering writing historical fiction.
