A Victorian Flower Album Book Review from @kleffnotes

A Victorian Flower Album: Collected and Painted in the Summer Evenings of 1873, as a Pleasing Recreation by Henry Terry is possibly one of the longest titled books I have ever reviewed.

Scourge of the Seas of Time (and Space) Book Review from @kleffnotes

Queen of Swords Press is releasing a brand new anthology focused on swashbuckling pirates who not only sail the high seas, but also the starry skies, Scourge of the Seas of Time (and Space).
