To Hold the Crown by Jean Plaidy. Just picked up at the library this afternoon and I am enjoying it very much so far.

I'm reading Portrait of an Unknown Woman by Vanora Bennett and really enjoying it so far. I'll hold off my judgment, though, until I see what she does with Sir Thomas More....

I'm reading The Light Bearer by Donna Gillespie. I'm about 200 pages in and really enjoying it so far. It's the type of book I've been looking for to read for a while. There's lots of good info about the ancient Pagan type religions and cultures but it's not preachy or slanted at all...so far at least. Hopefully it'll end up being one of those great big huge saga's that you can really sink you're teeth into for quite a while. I love those types of books!

I've been wanting to buy this one to read but have not done so because the reviews are mixed on it, let me know what you think since the word of mouth here have never steered me wrong before I might just overlook those reviews.

Currently reading "Conspiracies of Rome" , by Richard Blake.

It has the unusual setting of early seventh century Rome, the shattered remnants of a once great Imperial city; a nest of vipers, seething with vicious in-fighting between Church and State. Our hero, a less than innocent young Saxon nobleman called Aelric, accidentally stirs things up big-time on a visit to collect books for the English church.

Aelric is a compelling character, almost irredeemably obnoxious. He's handsome , very clever .and insufferably conceited. His cynical and amoral approach to life makes him the perfect servant for the venal and power-hungry clerics of the Roman Church, but is he as clever as he thinks he is?
