A perfect short read for an overcast Portland morning. At a scant 52 pages this took me under a half hour to make my way to the end. I was tempted to immediately return to the beginning and go over it again. I also found myself wishing for a pencil to make notations and enthusiastically
“Ancillary Sword” Ann Leckie There was no disappointment for me with book number two in Leckie’s trilogy.

Greetings and salutations my fellow bibliophiles! My name is Kate and I call the Sacramento area my home. My home is shared with two pups, three cats and one cantankerous hen. I have loved reading since the moment I learned to read. My list is incomplete at the moment, but I hope to have a
