A little bit about what you'll find reviewed here

A little bit about what you'll find reviewed on this blog: I believe the best books involve characters you wish you could read more about long after the book is finished. Recently, I've been searching for hidden gems from the past. I read mostly fiction, and I'm a bit of a prude. I don't normally enjoy books with sex or excessive language.

Who I am:
I raised two wonderful girls, and I'm super proud of them. I enjoy reading (of course), sewing, cross stitching, photography and writing. I live in the high desert portion of Washington (which I didn't know existed until my husband and I decided to move here) and have really enjoyed my time out here. I am excited to see what God has next in store for my life!

Good-Bye to All That - Robert Graves

This is the memoir of a man who went through a lot in his life. He was a writer of poetry and books. He served in WWI and came out of it a broken man. He was broken while in the service, but he did what he could to be okay and get back to the men.

The book is mostly about his wartime experiences, but the author spends a fair amount of time on his youth and his life afterwards as well.

There were times I found myself having trouble paying attention. Sometimes the writing was engaging and other times not so much. Overall, it was a glimpse into the trenches (a terrible place to be), but it wasn't the best thing I've read from the time period.
