25) The Master of Bruges by Terence Morgan; finished 10/17/10; wish Morgan would have kept Hans Memling painting in Bruges instead of sending him off on an unbelievable adventure in England...and that last chapter :confused: However, I really did like the writing style and the parts about Memling's painting career.

Brian really has quite a sense of humor. I need to reread this, the first time was fairly early in my Wars of the Roses knowledge.
At home with a good book and the cat...

27) The Countess & the King: A Novel of the Countess of Dorchester & King James II by Susan Holloway Scott; finished 11/18/10; I think I read too many royal mistresses books too close together and that tempered my feelings about this book.
