The Bone Garden sounds fantastic!
I'm reading Anarchist Voices, a collection of oral histories from anarchists, by Paul Avrich. Absolutely fascinating. It's also part of the research for my current novel.

I've never read Tess Gerritsen. Another one to add to my mental TBR

[quote=""Margaret""]Wow, we have over 400 posts here already? This site is really going strong! I've just started reading Margaret George's Mary Called Magdalene. After a long streak of mostly medieval European settings, ancient Palestine is so different, and MG is great with the setting - I just read a brief passage about travelers gathering early figs from the trees along the road, which really brought the setting to life. I'm still only a few pages in.[/quote]
Margaret I'll be interested to know how you get on with Mary Called Magdalene. I was asked to quote for it but didn't feel I could.

I read "The Bone Garden"...it was ok....a bit predictable.....Also have a strong bias regarding the author.....I read reviews about the book....then stumbled upon some nasty remarks from her regarding people who reviewed her books and did not give her a high grade....Reminded me another author who over reacted about so so reviews about her books.....I read it anyway....funny how a chip on your shoulder can influence your feelings for a book....Dr. Gerritsen needs to lighten up a bit.....

I am reading The King's Touch by Jude Morgan.
Not reading any HF just yet, but on Tuesday I am going to the bookstore to pick up my copy of Devil's Brood, as well as the new Louis de Benaries
But now, I am reading and enjoying Song for the Butcher's Daughter (not yet released), the new Kate Atkinson When will there be good times, and the new Marilyn Robinson Home. Something tells me they will all be put on hold for a few days after the 7th!
