It's a bit of a problem isn't it. I just got notification that I have five books to pick up at the library myself!

[quote=""Misfit""]Gee, what great timing. I've been on a hold at the lib for months for Daphne du Maurier's Frenchman's Creek, Jamaica Inn, Rebecca and My Cousing Rachel (all in one 800 page book) and now it's coming in for pick up right before Devil's Brood and Time of Singing are due. What's a girl to do? [/quote]
Those DduM books are all excellent, enjoy!

I am so looking forward to these, but now I'm in a serious book binge pickle. On top of that, Time of Singing just landed and so did an ILL, The King's Touch by Jude Morgon (I think that's the author's name). ILL's can't be renewed and considering it came all the way from Anchorage I'd feel awfully guilty returning it unread

I just got this one myself. I hear it's very good, so you might want to read it before returning it. (Of course, I have an ulterior motive for suggesting this. I want to read your review!)

I intend to read it, the reviews on Amazon sound promising including one from our own Boswellbaxter

I really did enjoy The King's Touch. It's one of the best written historical novels I've read in years, without that self-conscious "Ma, I'm writing literary fiction!" air about it.
