We made our regular bi-weekly trip to Costco today and I picked up two Bernard Cornwell books: his new one "Agincourt" and "Sword Song" which is the last one (so far) in his Saxon series. I haven't read any Cornwell, but I did already have the first book in his Saxon series in my TBR pile. Husband of course asked his perennial question, "Do you really need those books?" and I ignored him as usual.

Lucky you - having the Saxon series to look forward to. That was my first exposure to Cornwell, and he's now a favorite author. I loved both the Saxon series and the Grail Quest series. I've just started The Winter King, book 1 of the Warlord trilogy.

Bernard Cornwell has said that the 5th novel in the Saxon series (as yet untitled) should be due out October this year (Jan 2010 in the US). I was interested to read that he is planning another novel (like "Redcoat") set in the American Revolutionary War period.
Picked up Mary Renault's "Alexander" trilogy (3-in-1 book: Fire From Heaven, The Persian Boy, Funeral Games ) for a song from an online auction . Will be good to have that in my collection.

Today The Queen's Man by SKP, And Only to Deceive by Tasha Alexander and Lord John and the Hand of Devils by DG mysteriously fell into my shopping cart.[/quote]
Another Amazon lover here... Sarah Bower's The Book of Love is on its way to me as I write. Not that I don't already have enough books to read!
