I was fortunate enough to win a £10 Amazon gift certificate, so I just had the pleasure of buying:
In the Land of the Long White Cloud by Sarah Lark
A Swarming of Bees by Theresa Tomlinson
Isabeau by N. Gemini Sasson
The Whispering Bell by Brian Sellars
Bending the Boyne: A Novel of Ancient Ireland by J.S. Dunn (all Kindle)
The Fall of Atlantis by Marion Zimmer Bradley (second hand paperback)
I think I made that gift certificate stretch quite far!
