No ulterior motive in that purchase Brenna?! Hope you enjoy it!

Into battle we ride with Gods by our side
We are strong and not afraid to die
We have an urge to kill and our lust for blood has to be fulfilled
WE´LL FIGHT TILL THE END! And send our enemies straight to Hell!

Nefret-It's similar to Kate Morton who I adore. It flashes back and forth between past and present with a young woman trying to discover herself by learning more about her grandmother. Nicely done, but lacked character development and left holes in the story.

How was the book signing Brenna? Did Sharon give a talk too?
My latest buy is Treasures of Heaven (non fic) from the British Museum, to accompany the exhibition of reliquaries they have there at the moment.

I hear that! I think I'm going to have to only get a book if it's one that I've been wanting awhile and now it's cheap enough to buy, or if there's a book at my local new/used that I can use my credit on.
