The Curious Charms of Arthur Pepper Book Review

For nearly two years, I’ve read a few curmudgeon novels, and they tend to follow similar patterns. They’re usually about a stubborn person who has a certain way of living.

Around the World in 80 Days With Michael Palin Book Review

One of the first things that I’m going to do once this pandemic is over is travel. I’m not talking about going on a day trip, but traveling out of state to somewhere that I’ve never been before.
