My son gave me a NF book called "The Queen's Spymaster" about Sir Francis Walsingham during the reign of Elizabeth I. When I opened it, he asked me if I knew where he got it. I said I didn't and he asked me if I was sure. Then my husband and daughter started laughing...they had figured it out. My son took a book he had given me a few years ago that was in my to be read pile and re-gifted it as a joke!

- 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.

I got The Traitor's Wife from my daughter. And I had just downloaded it free onto my kindle . But it's nice to have in dead-tree format, too.
Our son-in-law the mechanical engineer gave us a DVD set containing all the seasons of Junkyard Wars. He and dh are watching it as I type. What is the saying about 'giving what you would most like to get'?

How is that one? I have been wanting it.

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!
