[quote=""JaneConsumer""]Well, I abandoned Restoration pretty quickly. In chapter 2, Charles II starts going down on one of his mistresses while the narrator describes her feminine parts in coarse modern terms. Do you hear the book hitting the wall?
Now on to Penmarric by Susan Howatch.[/quote]
Thanks, that one is going off my wish list. Eeewww. How bad was the damage to the wall?

Hey, as good as I thought Margaret George was after the auto bio of Henry VIII and Cleopatra even her take on Mary was boring (IMO), although there was nothing wrong with her writing/research. Mary is boring, irritating as all get out to the point of bordering on TSTL.

[quote=""Ash""]I just finished Marsh King's Daughter and wow, just wow. If there was an emoticon for applause, I'd use it. And since Scarlet Lion isn't here yet, I need to decide what else to read. I do have Edward Sawtelle (gotten way before the Oprah choice!) and should probably dive into that one next.[/quote]
Oh dear, another EC addict . Were you one of those on the Amazon HF discussions who wanted to strangle me for always promoting EC's books? Do you have Shadows and Strongholds? A lovely coming of age story. I could read it again and again and again (but hell I could do that with any of her books). Almost October.......
