to meeting lot of readers with lots of suggestions and information. I'm especially interested in historical fiction although I love a good "murder" as well as covert action books.
Looking forward to spending lots of time reading and learning here.

Hi Whitney and welcome. Who are your favourite authors? I saw your post on the C J Sansom thread, he's one of my favourites too.

Gosh, I'd forgotten about Sarum, which I must have read about 30 years ago. I seem to remember it was a cracking read. How are you enjoying it?

Re: Hello!! New here and looking forward...
Thank you all for the warm welcome. So glad to be among fellow readers. I'm always looking for the "next book" because my BIG fear is that one day I'll be without something to read. Needless to say, my TBR stack grows almost daily to ward off that fear.
About Sarum, I read it years ago but its just as good the second time around, I think.

Welcome to the forum, Whitney! I'm sure you'll get more than enough recommendations on good reads to keep you occupied for years to come.
