just came back from the library and picked up a few books and bought three others:
Beloved by Beatrice Small, ancient roman setting.
Wild Bells the the Wild Sky by Laurie McBain, set in 1570 kind of all over the place from Engand to West Indies.
Wild Swan by Celeste De Blasis, set in 1800s England and America.

The White Horse King: The Life of Alfred the Great by Benjamin R. Merkle and O, Juliet by Robin Maxwell were offered on Amazon Vine today.
Although there's a little bit of cover Deja vu on the Alfred book,
At home with a good book and the cat...

I didn't see either of these on my Amazon Vine Newsletter! Do they send out separate newsletters to reviewers?

I was also offered the Robin Maxwell book, which I ordered. I read another one of her books a few years ago and liked it, so with this one, we'll see.
My Vine newsletter also included Tracy Chevalier's new book, the title of which escapes me at the moment...

I endorsed Robin's new book, so I hope you both love it. I did! I just didn't see it on my Vine newsletter. Guess I need to do better with my reviews. I've not reviewed or ordered any books from Vine in months, so I'm not getting stellar picks.
