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!

The Phantom Coach and Other Stories - Amelia Edwards

This is a set of six stories - The Phantom Coach, An Engineer's Story, A Service of Danger, The Story of Salome, Was it an Illusion? A Parson's Story, and How the Third Floor Knew the Potteries. I wish I could remember how/why this ended up on my list, but it's been on there too long...

They're all pretty short, so I won't go into the details of them here. I will say they're all ghost stories. Some of them are better than others, and my favorites were An Engineer's Story, the Illusion story, and to a lesser degree the Pottery one.

There's not much more to say since they're so short. If you're in the mood for some quick ghost stories, you might enjoy these. I found them a pretty good investment of my time. The whole thing is only a little over 100 pages, so I wouldn't spend oodles of money on it. I somehow had it in a Word document, so I don't even know where it came from. Anyway, wherever this literature came from, it gets a Good Book! review.
