Your wish is my command, I'll have reviews for both of David Liss' books that I've read so far up in a moment.

[quote=""Misfit""]Paint the Wind by Cathy Cash Spellman and a huge thanks to EC for recommending it (even if you did upset my reading applecart :D ). A big fat epic saga set in 1860's Colorado.[/quote]

Glad you're enjoying it Misfit - and sorry about your applecart - not! :p
Les proz e les vassals
Souvent entre piez de chevals
Kar ja li coard n’I chasront

Are always to be found between the hooves of horses
For never will cowards fall down there.'

EC, that's the kind of applecarts I like to see upset. I've been on a binge with these old epic sagas from the 70's and 80's and loving it. How I missed them the first time around tho.....

Bouncing between Andrew Lang's The Red Fairy Book and Conn Iggledun's Wolf of the Plains. Then it's onto an Austen reread of P&P.
