Happy new year everyone! I've got the day to spend with A Heart Too Proud by Laura London. I love this husband/wife team of authors from the 80s. Despite my not being fond of Regencies and the first person narrative, these two really pull off a good story with plenty of funny quips and characters to liven things up.

- Interest in HF: started in childhood with the classics, which, IMHO are HF even if they were contemporary when written.
- Favourite HF book: Prince of Foxes, by Samuel Shellabarger
- Preferred HF: Currently prefer 1600 and earlier, but I'll read anything that keeps me turning the page.

just bought the reading/listening package for The Summer Queen. I'm getting more of these 'bundled' (buy the Kindle and get a discount on the audio) nowadays, because the dh and I have found it's fun to be on the same books. He commutes 2 hours every day, and I hike the same amount. (Lucky me, because of that I'm in much better shape than he is.) So we listen to the same book. Except I prefer reading to listening, unless the narrator is really good.
I loved Kearsley Firebird! Still reading All the Light We Cannot See by Anthony Doerr and yesterday I started reading Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's The Hound of the Baskervilles because my son turned my husband and me on to Sherlock with Benedict Cumberbatch via Net Flix when he was here for Christmas. My husband has read all the Sherlock Homes stories and insisted that I read The Hound of the Baskervilles so I could what Holmes and Watson were like in print.

Just make sure you don't read The Firebird before The Winter Sea.
