Rachel Reviews: Dear Mrs Bird by A. J. Pearce
Dear Mrs Bird is one of those novels that you can read quickly and easily, and which leaves you with a nice warm feeling: loose ends pretty much tied up, conflicts resolved or on their way to being sorted, happiness arrived at or on the horizon.

THE PHILOSOPHICAL BEEF BETWEEN AYN RAND AND ?
While it is publicly known that Flannery O'Connor disparaged the writing of Ayn Rand in a letter to a friend in 1960, the identity of the unnamed author Ayn Rand mentioned in her (1973) essay entitled "Selfishness Without a Self" appears to still be a forgotten, underrated mystery.

Buried Alive
Image by Headfone Here’s the last Buried Alive episode for public release. After this you’ll have to wait for Headfone to make it available on their app. This is also my last audio drama for the company. I’ve never been very social and Headfone and Vocal are the same in that you need to be apart of the club to find fun in participation. My writing now relies more on building worthless crypto. It’s OCD in a way. Thanks for reading, enjoy, and remember West Coast Milblogger returns next year, LOL. Have a Happy New Year:

A Morning Immersed In the Magical World of Harry Potter
During this recovery period books are my best friends, so sitting on the couch with a steaming mug of freshly blended tea and a book in hand I was set for the morning atleast. The book was 'Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone', the debut novel in the seven-part Harry Potter series by J.K. Rowling. I loved it since childhood and still continue to do so, there are very few stories that are timeless and still interesting. No matter how many times I went through it, it never gets old.

Rachel Reviews: Death in the Tallgrass by Donald Willerton
I really enjoyed Death in the Tallgrass. Firstly, it is best that you know that I love any book which is set in the Wild West: in the days of the pioneers and settlers and their encounters with Native American tribes; with the stories of the less reputable white folk who find themselves down on their luck and trying to find a way to survive; where people looking for a new life or travelling to a better one were exposed on the plains and carried guns for protection and to use for hunting for sustenance. It is the perfect setting and environment for a tense tale of adventure. And that is what Willerton has created here.
