The Rose Code by Kate Quinn

January 18, 2021 by GrammieOlivia Leave a Comment

Historical Novels transport you to another time and place, making reading a more interactive pastime. When you can’t get out and go somewhere new, a good book can transport you to places you never thought you would go.  That is the beauty of a good book and a great story!   Historical World War II […]

An Extravagant Death By Charles Finch

November 11, 2020 by GrammieOlivia Leave a Comment

When the seasons begin to change, then our habits also begin to change too! Summertime is a great time to be outdoors and enjoying the warm weather and sunshine, but once fall comes, we look for other ways to keep ourselves occupied.  READING is one way that makes me happy to be indoors when the […]
