Martha is keeping me on my toes. We’re already on to the next book for her Books I’m Reading book club! This month’s book is Cleoptra: A Life, written by Pulitzer Prize-winning biographer Stacy Schiff.
Confession: I’m a fiction person all the way. Two non-fiction books in a row is, well, not what I would choose. BUT…all this learning and stuff is good for me, right? 
And, after doing a little research on the book and starting it this past weekend, I’m actually pretty excited about Cleoptra: A Life. I know very little about Cleopatra and what little I do know is ill-informed, I’m sure. Can’t wait to read an accurate history of her life and, I’ll be honest, get all the dirty details on the murders, affairs and intrigue! Check back in a month or so for my “book report”. Should be a good one!

Oh! OH! This book is so on my wish list for Christmas. I listened to a whole review on NPR for an hour and I WANT the book.
sounds so fascinating….
so glad to hear that! now I’m even more excited to dig in!
Oooh I’ve heard such good things about this one! Definitely adding it to my reading list
Oh, I thought this looked fascinating. I’ll have to try this one too.
I am with you one hundred percent. Martha needs to get on the fiction bandwagon, bless her heart. Cleopatra looks cool, though.
