I read a lot. And I love mysteries. And history. And what I really love is a good mystery set in the past. I started this blog to chronicle what I read and to share what I think about it.
Because I read mostly historical fiction and mysteries, that's what I'll be posting about here, for the most part. I'm a lifelong bibliophile, though, so I can't promise to stay entirely within those boundaries. In fact, you might say I took bibliophilia to the extreme by getting a Ph.D. in English literature, so when the blog veers away from historical fiction and mysteries, it might well veer into the portrayal of academics in books and other media.
I'll post reviews here of most things I read that fit the blog's general topic of mystery and history. Sometimes I'll review new books, but I read a lot of old(er) books, too, so they'll probably comprise a healthy portion of reviews here. You can also expect that I'll review the occasional mystery or historical TV show or film. My reviews will be honest, and all the opinions will be my own. I aim to be constructive, but expect occasional, well-earned snark. I'll try not to spoil major plot twists and will post spoiler warnings when a major plot point not revealed in the publisher's blurb influences my opinion of the book so much that I have to mention it in the review.
All posts include a rating of 0-5 stars, immediately following the publication information in the review header. For more about my star system, click here.
I think that covers it for now. Enjoy reading along!
