A big fat expensive book leaped into my hands at Barnes & Noble today. The complete poems of Cavafy. Not HF... But amazing poetry. He wrote the well-known poem "Waiting for the Barbarians", and a lot of other stuff also that I love. My selected poems is a 25-year old paperback with a deteriorating binding, so I am a very happy camper. Merry Xmas to me, indeed...

I really, really wanted the Alex Berenson thriller (which is now gone) and Mornings in Jenin and Autobiography of an Execution. Which will all probably be gone in a few weeks. Just one of those three would have been great -- now will have to spend $$. The one on LibraryThing I was hoping for was the Parris book, "Heresy", about Giordano Bruno.
Oh well, maybe I'll win the lottery???

[quote=""Ash""]Lady Queen by Nancy Goldstone. Loved her other NF books, and this one looks very intriguing, about Queen Joanna of Naples, Sicily and Jerusalem. Fortunately I had a 30% off coupon, otherwise I would have waited a while.[/quote]
I finished that earlier this month, it was good.

I got A Royal Ambition by Iris Gower (Katherine of Valois) today and Jean Plaidy's Madame du Barry (per Miss Moppet's review) yesterday.
