Yesterday I bought these books for my Kindle:
The Ghost Bride by Yangsze Choo
Women in the Wall by Julia O'Faolain
The Cross and the Dragon by Kim Rendfeld
Selene of Alexandria by Faith L. Justice
Books 6-13 (minus book 12 which apparently was never released in digital format for some reason) of John Maddox Roberts' SPQR Roman Mystery Series
Nox Dormienda by Kelli Stanley
AND I'm considering buying City of Lost Angels by Liza Perrat which sounds really interesting and appears to have an insane asylum setting at some point which I have been looking for. Has anyone here read this book and if so what did you think of it?
