After many false starts I have FINALLY finished Now Face to Face and I all I can say is....eh. I liked the other two books in the series much better. And I really felt down on how she ended one of the important story lines. After all that waiting we deserved a much more satisfying ending... But, now I'm on to The Heretic Queen. And I love it! Egypt is not usually an area that interests me but I read Nefertiti and loved it. This sequal is just a good as the original if not better.

Goodie swap
Still reading Mort by Terry Pratchett but a USA friend has just sent me The Pink Carnation - arrived this morning in a 'goody' parcel so I'll pick that up next - forgotten the author and book is downstairs at the moment.
p.s. self and a few internet friends swap 'goody' parcels from our own countries. We enclose stuff like pens and serviettes postcards, notebooks, bookmarks, inexpensive little fripperies peculiar to our own cultures. Chuck in a couple of books and then send them out a couple of times a year. It's great fun and the biggest cost is probably the postage. You never know what's going to turn up and it's great fun sorting out the thoughtful and the silly on a miniscule budget.

Is the author Lauren Willig and the book The Secret History of the Pink Carnation?
BTW, I have moved all the goodie swap posts to a separate thread in the Suggestions section.

I haven't started reading it yet but the library emailed me last night that 2 of the 3 EC books I requested are ready so I'll pick them up about 10am, hopefully by noon I'll be starting Sheilds of Pride or Shadows and Strongholds, leaving the Love Knot as the last to read of EC which is a bummer but I love to reread favorites so it all works out.
