Yep, that's the one.

Raven's Heart, by Aussie author Jesse Blackadder. It's a story about the quest of the Blackadder clan to retrieve their stolen patrimony during the early years of the reign of Mary, Queen of Scots. Stylish writing- I'm enjoying it so far.

I'm just starting Matthew Plantin's 'The Devil's Acre', which is set in London in 1853. I loved his first novel, 'The Street Philosopher', which switches between the Crimea and Manchester during the 1850s. A bit gory, but the background's spot on and it's a real page-turner.
Just started posting here, too.

I really enjoyed The Devil's Acre, Feona. Hope you do, too!
I'll be starting this month's book, The Mistress of Nothing by Kate Pullinger, tonight.

I'll keep you guys updated and make sure to post my review here so we can chit chat. I was going to wait patiently for a copy from the library but it showed up on Amazon Vine so I couldn't resist.

I finished yesterday "When the Dancing Stopped: The Real Story of the Morro Castle Disaster and Its Deadly Wake" by Brian Hicks (312pgs, 2006).* Interesting book about a deadly fire aboard a cruise ship and the man who may have had a hand in starting the fire.

I cannot believe I'm so "out of it" : I kept going to the What are you reading for January and wondered why no one was posting......I'm sooo embarassed! Anyhow, now that I'm on the right forum, I am finishing Queen of Last Hopes, plus The Vow on the Heronby Jean Plaidy. I read Queen in small doses so it'll last longer....an excellent read and marvellous addition to my War of the Roses books. I lent The Traitor's Wife to a friend and she is thoroughly enjoying it!
