In January of 2005 I started this blog as a record of books I’ve read as I was afraid I would forget what I have read. I have often referred back to my own blog to remember a book's contents or see what I have read by an author. I have enjoyed passing my books on to friends or recommending books to read. I know I have missed recording some, but in general I try to keep up with what I have read or listened to.

Burning Bright by Tracy Chevlier (2007)
Another wonderful period piece by Chevalier. This one is about London, and the historical figure is William Blake, but he is a peripheral character. I would say that since the main characters are children, this could be aimed at the young adult audience, but the sexual realities are too stark, so I don't think it is meant for them. Wonderful tale.
