What Are You Reading? March 2011
Discuss your March reading here! I'm in an odd in-between books period at the moment, which isn't due to a lack of reading material at all.

Currently reading The Hangman's Daughter by Oliver Pötzsch; next up is Peter Vansittart's The Safe Conduct. There aren't many novels set in Germany during the late medieval or early Reformation periods, so I was pleased to discover these. The Hangman's Daughter is set in the early 17th century, a decade or two after the end of the Thirty Years War; The Safe Conduct is in the late 15th century, before the Reformation.
Browse over 5000 historical novel listings (probably well over 5000 by now, but I haven't re-counted lately) and over 700 reviews at www.HistoricalNovels.info

Oh do check back when you're done. Curious about your thoughts.
I'm almost done with The Circling Years by Janice Young Brooks. Two generations strong female kind of thing. Have something interesting coming up for a buddy read at GR that looks promising. Big old fat rags to riches New York to San Francisco kind of thing. More later.
