What is a trip to NYC without a view from it’s tallest building?  The 102-story Empire State Building was the largest building in NYC for more than forty years until the World Trade Center’s north tower claimed that honor upon its completion in 1972.  After the towers’ destruction in 2001, the Empire State …

Recently, I received SECRETS by Robin Jones Gunn as part of a blog review grab bag.  Having never read anything by this author in the past, I was excited to give her a try. I enjoyed the break this book gave me from the heavier history reading I’ve been doing …
