...and you made me go and check :D I'm guessing this series is in the lines of Jeaniene Frost's (so sexy) Bones...

So I bought:

Naked in Death by J. D. Robb
The Black Echo by Michael Connelly (I'm in a mystery mood)
Cryoburn by Lois McMaster Bujold (yaaaaayyyy a new Vorkosigan :) :cool :)
The Feast of Stephen and The Ferryman Will be There by Rosemary Aubert (I loved her first book)

Oh man are you in for a treat! I love the "In Death" books, but a word of warning there are over 30+ books with all the novels and short stories.

Yah I saw the loooooong list of books. At least they are all in the range of 300 pages which is nice. (I dont feel like starting a 30 books series with 500 pages per book...)

'Troy - Fall of Kings' - David Gemmell
'Realm' - James Jackson
'The Talisman of Troy' - Valerio Massimo Manfredi
'The Ides of March' - Valerio Massimo Manfredi

None too sure about Manfredi! Tried reading 'Tyrant' a few years ago and just couldn't finish it. But for a couple of pounds second hand I thought why not.

After swearing up and down that I wouldn't buy any more books this month (and then bragging about resisting temptation on my blog), I caved in and bought four Virago Modern Classics...
