Just finished "The King's Rose" by Alisa M Libby (great book...will write a review later).
Am now onto "The Witches Trinity" by Erika Mailman, which I have been wanting to read for ages, and finally borrowed from the library.

I've finished "Mademoiselle Boleyn" by Robin Maxwell. I enjoyed this book, though I could've done without some of the sexual talk, I do understand why some of it was in there but some of it was not neccesary, like a certain scene where Anne Boleyn enters her sister's room and has an eye opening scene before her!
I liked the Anne in this book, she was quite different then the Boleyn we see later in her courtship with Henry VIII. I recommend this book, I think people who are a little tired of Tudor books will enjoy it cause the Tudors hardly play a part in it.

- Interest in HF: started in childhood with the classics, which, IMHO are HF even if they were contemporary when written.
- Favourite HF book: Prince of Foxes, by Samuel Shellabarger
- Preferred HF: Currently prefer 1600 and earlier, but I'll read anything that keeps me turning the page.

I read that recently, as my Halloween read. I liked it a lot. It's very creepy. Erika Mailman does a fantastic job of immersing you in Gunde's head, so for a while you're not sure if what she's experiencing is real or not. I'd love to hear your thoughts on it.
Erika is a very nice person, too; I met her at the BookExpo where she sat on a panel about witches (with Brunonia Barry of "The Lace Reader" and Kathleen Kent of "The Heretic's Daughter.") The three of them together gave a wonderful talk about the different ways witches were persecuted in the medieval and later eras, as well as their approaches to depicting witchcraft in their novels.

I've finished "The Little Ice Age: How Climate Made History 1300-1850" by Brian Fagan. An interesting look at how climate has changed and shaped history over hundreds of years. I understood a lot of what as being said when the author was getting technical but he used the British Metric System and British Temperature, so I didn't understand what they translated into what we use in America. This book was written in 2000, so it doesn't have anything more recent and no Al Gore stuff.

Thanks so much, C.W. You know I adore your book as well! I find myself still thinking about poor Juana... heavy is the head that wears the crown.
And Amanda, I hope you enjoy it! If not, tell a fib!
