📚 Dive into May's Audiobook Gems! 🎧 Join us in the Lit Lounge as I unveil captivating reviews and reflections on the latest literary adventures. #AudiobookGems #MayReads #LiteraryEscape #BookLoversUnite

May, a month of playful weather pranks, toyed with us through its ever-shifting temperatures, swinging from the frigid clasp of the high 30s to the scorching embrace of the high 80’s, keeping us suspended in an eternal meteorological dance. Ah, layers, the indispensable companions of our New Hampshire existence, for we embrace them regardless of the whims of the weather gods. And so, amidst these…

I recognize there's danger in the modern tendency to over-pathologize things related to mental health, but reading about history can remind you that it is nice to have the terms, because identifying and labeling the problem can go a long way to helping you solve it.

Thought brought to you by the Civil War audiobook that talked about all of Stonewall Jackson's eccentricities--like regularly stopping to raise an arm to "balance his blood"--while the whole time my brain was yelling, "Will someone please help this man with his crippling OCD?"

story behind url: i wanted to make a multiuse blog again, but didn't want an overly long URL. My go-to is Latin usually, but I didn't like anything I was coming up with/it was taken, so I looked to other languages, and fell to Scots Gaelic. iomadachd means 'diversity', and it kind of became the language of the blog.

1920s Crime & Craziness

1920s Crime & Craziness

The Ghosts of Eden Park, Karen Abbott’s 2019 popular history, tells a dramatic true-life story. So much happens – it is so over-the-top – that it is difficult to believe. Nevertheless, it’s all true. Abbott, who now goes by the name of Abbott Kahler, is a skilled writer who found success with other histories: Sin in the Second City, American Rose, and Liar, Temptress, Soldier, Spy. Drawn to…

Totally Random Non-Fiction Tuesday

This is a non-fiction book about four women who were in the Civil War, Emma Edmonds, who disguised herself as a man to fight in the war as a Union soldier. Belle Boyd, who was a spy for the Confederate army. Rose O’Neale Greenhow, a widow who had affairs with northern politicians to gather intelligence for the Confederacy, and Elizabeth Van Lew, who was a wealthy abolitionist who controlled a very big espionage ring right under the rebels in Richmond’s noses.

These four women were all interesting in such different ways. It’s always about the battles, and troop movements, and this general or that general when it comes to the Civil War, but, the stories of these women show that the fabric of the Civil War was so much more complicated. An awesome book.

You may like this book If you Liked: The Spymistress by Jennifer Chiaverini, All the Daring of the Soldier by Elizabeth D. Leonard, or Wild Rose by Ann Blackman

Book 7 of the 50 book challenge. Liar, temptress, soldier, spy by Karen Abbott. 4 women who were spy’s during the American civil war and 2 on each side. It at times made me angry because of how awful they seemed, but also how much they loved their countries. I recommend it.

Fortnight of Books: Day 9

Favorite non-romance relationship

The friendship between Emma Lion, Islington, Hawkes and Pierce is about as good as fictional friendships come. (I especially loved Volume 4).

I also really liked the family bonds between the Igibys/Wingfeathers in The Wingfeather Saga.

Best non-fiction book

Team of Rivals, of course, but I also loved Endurance by Alfred Lansing, and I want to give a shout-out to the fascinating President Garfield bio Destiny of the Republic, the fascinating Civil War history in Liar Temptress Soldier Spy, and mention that I loved getting to read the letters between presidents and their wives collected in My Dear President.

Even though I didn't exactly read it, I did want to mention that my favorite nonfiction purchase of the year was the 1881 copy of From Log Cabin to White House and The World's Eulogies. It's just a fascinating artifact of history as it was happening. (Where else can I read Chester Arthur's acceptance of the VP nomination where he lays out his reasoning for supporting the spoils system, I ask you? Plus, when rereading The Long Winter, it was fascinating to consider that that book was printed in the same year the story took place).
