About My Library

It's a foundling home for books. We are trying to be more selective, but they keep following me home. My book collection is split between the cabin in the sky, which holds mostly read books, and the retirement home along the Matanzas River which holds the unread books. Stuffed to the gills, I don’t have room to properly display any of them.

I've despaired of digital books. So don't go there.

About Me

Book hoarder, lapsed historian, former frustrated bureaucrat, former assistant beekeeper, budding genealogist. Hopefully cured of a tendency to make ridiculously bad life choices, the kind that creates execrable, tortured poetry. Recently retired and not doing a darn thing. Writing a novel and shopping for an agent.

Currently reading, watching, and listening to:

I write like

Books read 2023

The Varielle Awards for Literature for 2022 are announced. 2022 wasn't a good reading year. I got through very few books, though some of them were massive.
Book of the Year - In Extremis: The Life and Death of the War Correspondent Marie Colvin Her murder by the Syrians/Russians was a loss to the world, but what a dame. I want to be a foreign correspondent in my next life.
Best Larking about on a Spiritual Quest Award goes to - A Fortune-Teller Told Me
Best I'm Going to Run Away from Home and Start a New Life Award goes to - An African in Greenland
Best War Narrative goes to - The Day of Battle
