Heartless Hunter: Crimson Moth #1
The most recent read of mine, Heartless Hunter by Kristen Ciccarelli, was a Book of the Month pick for February. I ended up ordering late, but with that being said, within three days of having the book, I had finished it. Which for me is much much faster than my average.

Born to Blush
Mary gazed in awe at the huge grey stone building at the end of a long drive lined with trees the names of which she did not know. Two massive iron gates on stone pillars topped with bronze pineapples barred the entrance. They didn’t have pineapples on the menu at the Workhouse so she didn’t know what these odd shapes represented.

Adiel and the Führer by Elyse Hoffman
A chance to prevent the rise of Hitler… but at what cost? Adiel Goldstein has a good life. Despite the anti-Semitism he faces as a German Jew, he has everything he wants. A dream job as an art professor, good friends, a loving father, and a precious nine-year-old daughter, Kaia. But his life is about to be upended. An old comrade from his time fighting in the Great War is gaining power: a man named Hitler. Adiel’s father insists that they need to leave the country before Hitler becomes the leader of Germany. Adiel and his family plan to move to America, but before they can even pack their bags, he and Kaia make a shocking discovery. Adiel’s father, Natan Goldstein, is from the future. A Holocaust survivor who lost his family to unspeakable tragedy, Natan was given the chance to go back in time and take the life of Adolf Hitler. But when he failed to kill the future Führer, he devoted himself to his new family and awaited the inevitable. Natan can’t face the Holocaust again, but Adiel’s unique connection to Hitler means he might be able to succeed where his father failed. Adiel now has a choice: escape as planned and let history repeat itself, or sacrifice everything to stop the Holocaust before it can begin.

Beyond Formal Education: Embracing the Knowledge Revolution Through Reading
‘The Day of the Triffids’, in my opinion is one of the best science fiction novels of all time. In 1951 when the novel was published for the first time, science was, well, still backward and the notion of Star Wars and biotechnology was none existent, or in its infancy. Yet that is what the novel is all about. John Wyndham, the author of the novel could see the future with uncanny ability.
