Did you know? English author Thomas Hardy…

Just finished reading News from the Dead and it was extremely well done. If you’re in need of a good historical fiction book and Flygirl is checked out, look no further.

I got a calendar for Christmas this year that’s basically The Doubtful Guest. I love it.
