Last pages of Eye of the Red Tsar by Sam Eastland. It's a double story about the last days of the Romanovs and an investigation about their deaths 10 years later. I'm missing Tom Rob Smith's accute paranoid feeling but it's a fine easy read.

Almost done with Tanamera, but my mind was too overloaded with debits and credits last night to finish it. I started Embrace the Day by Susan Wiggs, although my copy has a different cover and author name than the *mainstream* one. Same ISBN # though. Odd. Virginia/Kentucky late 1770s.

Right now I'm reading and reviewing the Sea Witch series by Helen Hollick. It's a wonderful read!

I might try that next. I really enjoyed Hollick's Forever Queen. She has a nice style with a very comprehensive grasp of the sensibilities of the time, without feeling the need to bludgeon you over the head with all her research.

Finished The Historian's Craft by Marc Bloch. A short, mind-bending, academic read, but worth the effort. "What use is History?"

Pulled Love by Toni Morrison (housebook) and Lonesome Dove by Larry McMurtry (commuting book) off the TBR shelf. Started both, very different books, and am completely enthralled. Will be starting a LibraryThing review copy of Motivate to Create by Nate Hendley (Nookbook). Will see if he has anything new to say.

A Land More Kind Than Home by Wiley Cash. A thought-provokng novel aptly described as literay Southern gothic - not HF, but an attempt by young boy to make sense of a traumatic event in his life.
