"People who have clean houses don't do enough reading" Annonymous

I have always been a reader.  I have had dry periods, but then I realize something is missing, ‘Oh yes, too long since I have had a book in my life’.  I love holding them, but can be happy reading a novel from my phone, I just need to be reading.
I tend to want to tell people about what I read, I know that sometimes people are wary of having to listen to me, so this is the best way.  Are you looking for a great read?  Well, this can be your source for finding that read.  You will be able to buy them here, from amazon, or borrow from a friend or library, just read them.  I hope you will let us know if you think I gave you a good tip, or, hopefully not, disappointed.  I’d like to know how to make this section better.
You will find both fiction and non-fiction.  Fiction, wide variety from serious literature to ‘historical’ fiction about being that are openly vampiers/werewolves in Queen Victoria’s court.  Told you I was eclectic.  Non-fiction I love politics (I have a bias), to history (I read a lot of books about brave women who fought Nazis) to well written science, making up for what I didn’t learn in school  to social commentary of all natures (Trash Talk anyone?)

This section will eventually be large and I hope it inspires you to doing more reading.

The Barbizon: The Hotel That Set Women Free. by Paula Bren

I came across The Barbizon: The Hotel That Set Women Free by Paula Bren accidentally while reading a discussion on Facebook.  What a treat.  My mother who had never been east of the Mississippi (if you don’t count Moline, Illinois) until she was 54, knew about the Barbizon.  It came…
