My sickness got worse today: I bought a copy of Barbara Erskine's The Warrior's Princess.
But I'm going to *try* to be better about not buying books starting next month![/quote]
I'd still be in the same boat if it weren't for a well funded county library. Speaking of which I just picked up Nine Coaches Waiting by Mary Steward and Twilight of Avalon by Anna Elliott today.

I was checking my Wish List at Amazon and amazingly enough "Versailles: A Biography of a Palace" by Tony Spawforth was for sale for $6.99, so I snapped it up, I hope the seller comes through, I'll let you know if I actually get it.

[quote=""Mello""]Went to an ex-library book sale yesterday and picked up The Morning Gift by Diana Norman, The Passions of Emma by Penelope Williamson and Restoration by Rose Tremain, all for 50c each. I love it when I can find hard-to-get books cheap [/quote]
Well done on The Morning Gift! Great bargain!

- 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.

Got the first part of my Book Depository order today (Thanks Amanda for the discount info!). Perfect timing for me to take them on my vacation next week. Looking forward to reading The Winter Mantle and Shields of Pride by Elizabeth Chadwick (those almost complete my Elizabeth Chadwick collection) and The Secret Alchemy by Emma Darwin.
