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.

Listening to Lincoln's Spies by Douglas Waller. Needs a better narrator though. The guy keeps saying Calvary when he means cavalry.

The Deadly Hours by Susanna Kearsley et al.
A gold watch is passed through the centuries, bringing bad luck to the owners. I'm a fan of Anna Lee Huber and Christine Trent so their contributions about Kiera and Violet are a fun addition to their respective series.

I'm re-reading Emma by Jane Austen.
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!
- "Into Battle"
{Ensiferum}
