Having finished The wonderful Clockmaker’s Daughter by Kate Morton, I’m now reading The Corset by Laura Purcell via Pigeonhole. It’s a gothic Victorian ghost story.

- Preferred HF: I like a series the best - more to look forward to after one book ends. Masters of Rome, The Century Trilogy, & the Outlander series are some of my favorites.

Finally finished my Russka audiobook! Now moving on to another marathon one - Gone With The Wind. Haven't read this since high school.

Nothing happened. I am in a terrible reading slump at the moment.MLE (Emily Cotton) wrote:I have enjoyed several of Kearsley's novels, although i can think of one that was a dud. Was considering ordering this. What didn't you like about it?Misfit wrote:Still not reading much, HF or anything else. Thought I'd get back in the groove with the new Kearsley book, but just abandoned ship at 27%.
At home with a good book and the cat...

I just started The Winter King by Bernard Cornwell.
Into battle we ride with Gods by our side
We are strong and not afraid to die
We have an urge to kill and our lust for blood has to be fulfilled
WE´LL FIGHT TILL THE END! And send our enemies straight to Hell!

Re: What are you reading September 2018?
I'm reading The Last Will and Testament of the Pirate John Blackjohn. It's a new publication and honestly one of the best HF books I've read in ages. It has all the right elements, Scottish highlands, adventures at sea. strong female characters, a touch of myth and fantasy, and it's meticulously researched. It gripped me right away. A perfect cozy tale for an autumn evening. I got it on Amazon. Kindle version just 0.99!
