The Alchemistis about a young shepherd named Santiago who meets a king and sets off to fulfill his personal legend. Short and filled with life lessons, I can understand why The Alchemist is an international bestseller and has a worldwide following of its “teachings.” This type of book was probably pretty exciting back when it was published in 1988 but in today’s age of spiritual bestsellers ( The Secret, Eat, Pray Love, etc.), the concept of a spiritual journey was a little tired. This book has been on my to-read shelf for a good number of years and I finally got around to reading it at the recommendation of a classmate. ![]() Buy the book: Amazon/Audible (this post includes affiliate links) ![]()

A Scot in the Dark is a very clever book. The Duke of Warnick loathes all things English, none more so than the aristocracy. With the painting now public, Lily has no choice but to turn to the one man who might save her from ruin. until the lying libertine leaves her in disgrace.
