My usual M.O. with a book about living off the land is turning to the gardening chapters first. Since my move from California to Texas, I haven’t been able to grow a thing. Not even a self-respecting weed will take hold. When Backyard Farming on an Acre (More or Less) by Angela England arrived in

Juliet Immortal

Sep 30, 2011skstewartBook Reviews

I’m not usually drawn to romance novels and the current crop of dark romance really hasn’t appealed to me.
