"For us, our house is not insentient matter—it has a heart, and a soul, and eyes to see us with; and approvals, and solicitudes, and deep sympathies; it is of us, and we are in its confidence, and live in its grace and in the peace of its benediction. We never come home from an absence that its face does not light up and speak out its eloquent welcome—and we can not enter it unmoved."
—Mark Twain, 1896

Percolations

Five on my List-to-Read for Twenty-Ten are on their way, via post, thanks to my son-in-law.
A most pragmatic Emporium of Reading Delights!



'We don't always have a choice how we get to know one another. Sometimes, people fall into our lives cleanly - as if out of the sky, or as if there were a direct flight from Heaven to Earth - the same sudden way we lose people, who once seemed they would always be part of our lives'.

Blood ties, blackmail, vengeance, double crosses, and cut-throat criminality in this continuing saga of two unlikely allies.  >>







The Oberjarl has been taken hostage
in this epic fantasy series,
which I have been reading
since the beginning.













“Long ago in a time forgotten, a preternatural event threw the seasons out of balance. In a land where summers can last decades and winters a lifetime, trouble is brewing.” <<


>> Unfinished at the time of his death, Charles Dickens has left us with endless speculation in this ultimate detective story.

After reading The Last Dickens by Matthew Pearl, I knew I just had to read The Mystery of Edwin Drood. This is Dickens’ last manuscript, and swirling all around it is a mystery in and of itself.


THANK YOU RAZA!
