I have been enjoying the popular television show, The Good Place, for several seasons now. When I saw the book The Forking Trolley, an Ethical Journey to the Good Place by James M. Russel, I had to pick it up. If a book made into a movie is good, how good would a book based on... Continue Reading →
2018's NonFiction November vastly altered the way I think about nonfiction. I have always loved learning. Always. But, prior to last year, nonfiction wasn't something I thought of as an escape from reality. Now, nonfiction falls squarely in the "get to" pile of reading rather than the "should."

Still, when I saw Conan Doyle for the Defense being highlighted during this year's NonFiction November I was so excited. A nonfiction story... Continue Reading →
