As for the book of the day.... let's get to it shall we?

I promise not every book I have is a text book... I do read fiction... I do!

One of the first upper level history classes I took was 19th century Europe and man was I excited, it still remains one of my most favorite of all favorite classes, I'd say top 5.

I think she still teaches it today!
