[quote=""Nefret""]Could we count that as an excuse to buy more books?

Books as therapy? Absolutely!

[quote=""Vanessa""]The Girl in the Red Tunic by Alys Clare
The Loveday Conspiracy by Kate Tremayne (10th in the Loveday series which is a little similar to Poldark)[/quote]

Those Loveday books sound good Vanessa, I haven't heard of them before although I think I recognise the author's name from somewhere!

Cool. That is an excuse I used very often.

I thought about buying some new books after the debacle with my check card (see worst thing thread), but decided to wait til I actually have a new card (we'll see how long that lasts!). I should have enough books to keep me occupied til then (but we'll see!).

Here's some info, Madeleine. She writes historical fiction under the name of Pauline Bentley, too.

They do sound good. I've read a couple of her Pauline Bentley books- lively stuff, a bit in the Forever Amber tradition - about an English family of travelling players. The first one, Rogues & Players, is set in the Elizabethan period, the second, Fallen Angels during the Civil War .

Just arrived from the used seller, Child of the Sea by Elizabeth Goudge. It's about Lucy Walter the first *wife* of Charles II. Thanks to chatterbox for that Amazon Listmania on old out of print HF's.

Ok, so there goes my plan not to buy anything til I got my new card, but I've been watching for this book to come up cheaper for a few months and it finally did!
"Royal Bastards: Illegitimate Children of the British Royal Family" by Roger Powell
