May 14, 2021 by GrammieOlivia Leave a Comment

Forests and the wild things in life have always fascinated me and I love to wander in them.  But, if I was forced to hide and live in the forests, I’m not sure I would survive.  Unless you have studied the stars, you could be lost very quickly!  And without survival skills, you will be […]

January 18, 2021 by GrammieOlivia Leave a Comment

Historical Novels transport you to another time and place, making reading a more interactive pastime.

An Extravagant Death By Charles Finch

November 11, 2020 by GrammieOlivia Leave a Comment

An Extravagant Death by Charles Finch was a truly enjoyable trip through history as well as the sleuthing that was necessary to solve crimes in bygone days. We have become jaded in our modern day with the speed with which problems and paradoxes are untangled.   Go back in time to the late 1800’s. We know […]

In order […]
