This blog...

I have made this blog for the sole purpose of keeping track of the books I have read. Some day I will look back and say "WOW! I sure do read a lot!"
For those of you that come across this blog, I hope you find it useful. It may help you find your next book, get a new perspective on a book you've already read, or at the very least, provide a new way for you to waste a few minutes of your day.

A Discovery of Witches by Deborah Harkness


This book was completely enchanting! I have fallen head over heels for it and wish it was not already over.  The characters were really great, and all of the imagination that went in to all of the small details.  Like the Bishop house...ohh I really loved everything surrounding the witches house!

And all of the alchemical poetry and verses, so incredible!  It makes we want to go study alchemy.  A topic that seems to have been zoomed over and skimmed way too easily in my studies.  I feel like I have been cheated!  The author must either be well versed in alchemy or spent days on end studying it in order to write this book.  Either way, it was extremely well incorporated and essential to the storyline.  I am so excited for the next book!

I tried to not finish this one too quickly, but ended up devouring it.  I stayed up late in to the night reading twice and had to force myself not to buy the next book immediately after finishing this one at 2am.  Now that I have written my post though...there is nothing stopping me :) !  

This is a definite must read on my list!!
