Read MoreNote to Self:

Read MoreSir Bentley and Holbrook Court by Chuck Black
When I first picked up Sir Bentley and Holbrook Court, the second book in the series, I was afraid I might be lost not having read the first. That wasn’t the case. The book had a couple of pages of introduction to the Knights of Arrethtrae, which became very clear that the first book was…

Read MoreDaniel’s Den by Brandt Dodson
Daniel’s Den is my first Brandt Dodson book, and I’ve been told by some already that it’s a little different from his norm. Yet, since I haven’t read any of his books yet (sh!!! Don’t tell, but I do have them on my shelf,) I have nothing to compare it to. Having just read my…
