The Timely Adventures of Rachel Evans: Still No Coffee in the Middle Ages

Rachel blinked groggily. "Too much sunlight. Why birds. Turn off." She fumbled for her curtain to block out the dreaded light and instead came up with a handful of leaves. Who put leaves in her bedroom? Why would anyone do that?

She opened her eyes.

Oh.

Right.

Sherwood.

Rachel sat up, trying to get rid of the crick in her neck. Apparently she had been sleeping on Will Scarlet’s shoulder. Well, a little drool wouldn’t hurt him much.

And if you’ve taken a look at our website in the last couple of weeks, you may have noticed some major changes to our online catalog.

Get Caught Reading Month

Earlier in the month, John Twelve Hawks’ The Traveler was the first book to pop into my head when National Get Caught Reading month was mentioned to me. The Chase by Clive Cussler was the second. I have to say, it has one of the most intriguing beginnings to a story.

Technology Stinks!

That’s what I have been tempted to scream on numerous occasions as I try to learn yet another unfamiliar piece of technology. Even computer jargon can cause me an inordinate amount of stress. For example, the other day I kept encountering the term "hashtag." I thought to myself, "Great.
