Book update:

Found at the flea market: The Virgin's Lover (now finished reading, and what an intriguing read it was), and The Other Boleyn Girl (already have read this one, but don't own it) both by Philippa Gregory and The Charlemagne Pursuit, by Steve Berry (excited to read this one! because all his other books are fabulous.) 

more to come on The Virgin's Lover later

Currently reading: 

Archimedes' Claw by Dr. Theodore Morrison Homa, which is awesome and there will be a detailed review of this coming in the next week or so, so stay tuned! 

Phantom Island of the Atlantic: The Legends of Seven Lands that Never Were by Donald S. Johnson, which is so far a fascinating read and which i am planning on incorporating into a photo/art project. 

A History of Pirates: Blood and Thunder on the High Seas by Nigel Cawthorne, which is also fascinating so far, and which is also research for an eventual photo/art project. oddly, the two projects are not connected except temporally and by artistic media, but the books themselves have ended up with a bit of overlap, which just makes it that much more interesting if you ask me. :)

Miramar Gypsy

someday, I will have a sailboat, and i will name it "Miramar Gypsy", because that just sounds beautiful, and because "miramar" means (roughly) "look at the sea". It will be a reminder, to myself, the gypsy (of sorts), to always look at the sea. :)

In the meantime, maybe I'll make an ankle bracelet that says the same thing. I'd get a tattoo but I'm far to wimpy.
