I finally received my order with Paullina Simon's Bronze Horseman trilogy. I hope it's good, because I bought all three books.

I can't seem to stop myself; today I bought three books:

Harriet and Isabella, by Patrick O'Brien (about Harriet and Isabella Beecher in the 1870s; it takes place in the neighborhood I used to live in, Brooklyn Heights).

And two more Morland Dynasty books:
The Black Pearl and The Question

I received three books (arcs), two of which apply for here:

The Owl Killers by Karen Maitland
The Courtier's Secret by Donna Russo Morin
In Great Waters by Kit Whitfield

I hope to read the Maitland first but I'm heading off for a ski weekend and at this point I'm just hoping to survive as it's been a long time since I've been on any real slopes. That and I've had this fear of ski lifts lately. I still have a couple of things I need to pick up and I might just pop into the one ski shop down the street and see if they have any one piece overalls left.

I haven't bought any fiction books in quite a while. But lately I've been buying up lots of dog training books as I've been working with trainers to get my dog's behavior ship shape to add a puppy to our family in a couple of months. They've also seriously cut into my HF reading time. Instead my nose is in some dog book! My fiance has started calling me the dog nazi, lol!

Oooh, the Maitland one looks good! It won't be out here in the US until next September, and it can't come fast enough!

Been out spending gift cards. Bought Mrs. Lincoln by Catherine Clinton, been waiting for this one since last summer when I read Barbara Hambly's Emancipator's Wife. Also picked up My Mistress's Sparrow Is Dead: Great Love Stories, from Chekhov to Munro by Jeffrey Eugenides

today I got The Gargoyle by Andrew Davidson and The Brutal Art by Jesse Kellerman (sort of HF in that it involves a crime that goes back 40 years, so nearly long enough ago!).

also got The Queen's Sorrow by Suzannah Dunn.
