About

Hi, I’m Marian. Thanks for visiting my blog!

I review books, mostly classics and history, both here on the blog and on my YouTube channel. I live in the beautiful Pacific Northwest and work in technology. On my personal blog, Gifted with Thought, I write about my faith, mental health journey, and adventures in minimalism.

The banner painting is The Field of Wheat (1878) by Ivan Shishkin.

‘Roads go ever ever on
Under cloud and under star,
Yet feet that wandering have gone
Turn at last to home afar.’

—J.R.R. Tolkien
